As I told you before, I was so lucky we had the opportunity in elementary school to travel to the United Kingdom every year. In April 2003 we made a trip to Wales and some of the bordering Western cities of England.
The capital of Wales is Cardiff.
Wales also has it's own language, the Welsh, the national symbol is the daffodil and the red dragon (Y Draig Goch) that is depicted on the flag of Wales. There are the things, that you can see everywhere, they are ubiquitous.
Welsh names and words catch your attention with the lot of 'l', 'y' and 'w'. Cymru is the name of the country.
On the flag is the red dragon with two horizontal bands in the background: a white and green, the colours of the Tudor dinasty.
An interesting thing is that the red dragon, just like the Irish harp (for Northern Ireland) are not represented in UK's flag, the Union Jack.
The patron saint of Wales is Saint David.
