I've always loved Bognor. It is rather quiet, it's right at the coast and it is such a beautiful place in general. I haven't lived over here for so long that I'd have the love/hate relationship towards is as everyone else seems to have. People seem to think that it's the middle of nowhere and that nothing never happens and that most of the population is Polish or old people. Personally I have nothing against those groups so I'm all good. :) Can't really complain about foreigners when I'm one myself, right? :D And besides I do see myself as an open person, I don't pick my friends based on their age or background.

Anyways, Bognor is a nice change to my hometown, Sulkava. Sulkava is literally the middle of nowhere, population is around 3000 and the only thing that happens there is the annual rowing festival in July. No traffic lights, the only street lights are in the immediate centre of the town and the whole town is dying slowly. We have about 5 hair salons, 2 grocery stores and 3 or 4 bars. We used to have a nice pizza place but it ran out of business years ago. Shame.

I don't know Bognor that much as I go to college in Chichester, which is about a 15min drive away from where I live. Or, it would be if I'd drive myself instead of taking the bus. The bus takes 30-45mins, depending on the traffic. I've taken the bus to Bognor once and I guess it was just a lucky guess that where I had to get off the bus. Oh well, at least I know the route now! :D Everyone seems to go to Chi to spend a night out around here and to be fair I am not blaming them. Maybe it's just me not paying attention to the bars and clubs but I haven't seen a lot of them in Bognor. Then again I haven't toured all of Bognor (and don't think I will) so they might just be tucked away from the high street.
