00:00 The best thing about living in Birmingham is the fact that there's so much youth here.
00:04 It's like the youngest city in all of Europe.
00:06 So the demographic, there's a lot of creativity, there's a lot of new investment, and since
00:11 last year, the 2022 games, it's under a magnifying glass with tourism and people investing in
00:16 creative stuff, studios opening up around Digworth, so it's very promising.
00:22 But in terms of change, I wish there was a better allocation of resources and maybe making
00:28 it a bit better in the city because there seems to be a lot of investment but often
00:32 very dirty.
00:37 I really like the variety of places to eat here.
00:40 I mean, my family often come from Leicester to Birmingham for the restaurants because
00:43 there's so many good places here.
00:45 So I think that I like the cultural diversity, I like that you can pretty much find anything
00:49 you want here.
00:50 I think that's really nice.
00:51 Yeah, I haven't been here for very long, but it looks like a very lively city.
00:55 So there's tons of things to do and I certainly wouldn't mind living here.
01:04 Me personally, I like the atmosphere around it.
01:06 I like how the shops are and I like how it is.
01:11 I like the way it's set out and how it's easy and accessible to find where you need to go
01:16 most of the time because of the signs and everything.
01:18 I also like seeing a lot of people just walking around and everything because it's also pretty
01:22 nice.
01:23 I don't think I'd really change anything about it to be fair.
01:27 Maybe just the litter things, but other than that, I think I'd really like it.
01:30 Yeah, I like the hustle and bustle about it, like how easy it's to get around, like transport
01:36 and the shops, they're really good as well.
01:39 It's good, yeah.
01:42 Change I'd like have the bins and stuff and the litter and everything.
01:46 That's the main problem.
01:47 But other than that, it's quite good.
01:50 I love the nightlife.
01:56 Nightlife in Birmingham is pretty good.
01:57 Yeah, it is pretty good.
01:58 It's always a vibe.
01:59 Some of the chains.
02:01 The underpasses.
02:02 Yeah, get rid of the rats.
02:05 Yeah.
02:06 Well, that's any city's problem, isn't it?
02:12 Yeah.
02:13 The thing I like most is that it's such a great place for diversity.
02:19 So I met people from all around the world and you wouldn't expect that in normal places.
02:26 And I like that I can mix around and I can learn from every single culture.
02:31 At my university, there are so many different students there and we can see where everyone
02:38 is from and then just see within ourselves the differences between the places we're from.
02:46 So yeah, that's really good.
02:47 And the thing that could be improved, I think, would be some more infrastructure for people
02:51 to just gather around and have some meeting areas.
02:55 I noticed that the city centre has been under construction for quite a few years now, so
02:59 I hope that will be towards the greater good.
