My Home Town | The City Of Sunderland
Рет қаралды 9,121
Жыл бұрынSo I left China to visit my family and friends in the city of Sunderland, my hometown, it's located in the North East of England. Sunderland is a port city in Tyne and Wear, England. It is the City of Sunderland's administrative centre and in the historic county of Durham. The city is 10 miles from Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is on the River Wear's mouth to the North Sea. I'm going to head back to China after my holiday here in England, but i need a 24 hour negative PCR test before I board the plane.

Since I've been home the time has flew, but hopefully, I'll be back home in the summer and for longer, and maybe more videos in more cities in the summer when it's nice and warm!

Thanks for the walk! It's literally my favourite place on Earth! We used to live in Fulwell and took the same route as you did in the video, my kid played in those rockpools and I enjoyed my coffee just like you did. I hope to go back and live there again.

Yeah it's definitely the best place in Sunderland. It's becoming a little holiday resort with the new hotels and restaurants. Ah sounds like nice memories 😊 I'm sure I will in time 🙏

Must be a great feeling to be back to your hometown. UK is so beautiful. Love the quaint brick houses and the typical UK long-backyard. The walk to the lighthouse is so relaxing and scenery is very nice.

It's a crap hole, especially in the North of Sunderland (Southwick, Downhill, Witherwack & Redhouse) we are PLAGUED by gangs on Motorbikes, the police are invisible. I'd not go out at night either. The Cemetery next to me has been trashed by gangs. We have also been flooded with foreign people which puts strain on housing and the NHS, foreign men hang around the city centre and harass young girls. The only nice parts is Seaburn, Fulwell & parts of Barnes and Tunstall.
