United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is a diverse set of landscape and people. Now so much more multi-ethnic than in the past the country is moving forward.

The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (which I have not yet visited). Southern Ireland, or, more correctly Republic of Ireland is part of Europe not the United Kingdom. The term “Great Britain” generally refers to England, Scotland and Wales (not Northern Ireland).
