0:17

we interview the most

0:19

Brighton

0:20

so as well as showing you some of our

0:22

favorite places around Brighton we also

0:24

asked some of the people visiting and

0:26

living in Brighton what they're here for

0:28

and why they love Brighton so much

1:13

foreign

1:24

which is like iconic for Brighton

1:27

not really a recommendation because it's

1:30

only really good if you're into arcades

1:32

making no money of it or disgusting

1:36

swedes but

1:38

um yeah it's obviously a thing for

1:39

tourists so what I like about Brighton

1:42

it's not those places but more like the

1:45

bug alley things the nice pups so I

1:48

think I've read somewhere that Brighton

1:50

has the most pups per capita so you find

1:52

a pup for for everyone really there's so

1:55

many good pubs and restaurants and back

1:58

alleys with little nice cafes I like

2:00

that most where you don't have so many

2:02

people not a big fan of crowds

2:05

only if I'm on a gecko Festival but

2:08

um yeah that's I think the best and the

2:10

people really the people it's um

2:12

the atmosphere here is really welcoming

2:14

really

2:15

free and

2:17

creative and vibrant and I love that

2:20

like I think I don't know a place where

2:22

I've ever felt that free and that says

2:24

something

4:26

just a small town small-minded people

4:29

okay nothing and in contrast of course

4:33

Brighton like just bright colorful happy

4:36

4:39

people here that I never would have met

4:40

in Midway and then what what is so good

4:43

then about Brighton what do you like the

4:45

most about it days like today yeah

4:46

literally days like today make Brighton

4:48

worth living here are they common no

4:51

but when they are you've got to take

4:53

them take advantage of it I went through

5:21

people really do when they come to

5:22

Brighton a lot of people come to see the

5:23

eye or see the pier but most bytonians
