It is an island nation as it has a large collection of islands along with Great Britain in the north eastern part of Ireland and there are other small islands. One of the unique features of UK is that only Northern Island is the country in it with a land border with another sovereign state that is sharing it with the Republic of Ireland.\u00a0 Oceans like Atlantic Ocean, Irish Sea, North Sea and English Channel surrounds UK besides the land border.<\/p>\n<p><b>People<\/b><\/p>\n<p>People in UK are very warm and friendly in nature. They take immense pride in highlighting their culture in front of the tourists and visitors. They actively take part in their events and festivals all round the calendar year. A short conversation with them is enough to befriend you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Events <\/b><\/p>\n<p>There are many events and festivals surrounding the calendar year of UK, that are centuries old. Some of the major festivals include Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. As we all know Christmas is celebrated all over the world but in UK, it was started celebrating in AD 596.
