I hate the place, used to commute every day into it and I can confirm that...

1) Its a fookin rip off to travel around/buy anything
2) Way to crowded with people that are quite happy to stamp over your feet than say excuse me
3) Shat public transport that is so struggling with weekend shop let alone the rushour
4) Full of bloody thieves and pickpockets (two wallets taken in 6 months )
5) Evey person behind a counter down there is a forigner that can barely speek english
6) Traffic is at a stand still for most of the day
7) Tramps at every station and begging foriners on every train

I think you get the idea.
