My parents came to visit me in Wales. They suggested we go to Newport to look around. I just answered "Hm, let's not". There's just such an odd feeling walking around that city.
As in dangerous or what exactly?
It is very poverty stricken. There's plenty of dangerous/sketchy characters if you go looking for it. Clearly quite drugged people are everywhere. Young kids with the iconic gray tracksuit and balaclavas racing about on bikes. Closed shops and signs of attempts at reviving the city are abundant. Me and a friend walking down the main street saw this really odd shop. It was the size of a moderate clothes shop, but it was like stripped down to the concrete, no music, little to no shelving, just random products stacked on the floor on pallets. Things like microwaves, bbqs, fans, and such. A couple of guy were eyeing us the entire time. What my friend told me is that's a store for things "that fall off a lorry".
Edit: I should add though that the city as a whole is surprisingly low on actual crime. I think it has a pretty decent community mindset. Just don't go to Pillgwenlly :P
Hmmm...I think I got the vibe.
Yeah, I'd pass k owijg that too :p
