Living like a Local in Leeds, England 

One of my sons was an exchange student at a university in America, and many of his college friends came to visit him in Leeds after he came back, all of them were absolutely knocked out with the city and its people.

Leeds got its name from an ancient forest called Leodis that once stood in its place I believe? I don't believe it existed in the Viking age anyway, places in Leeds like Morley did though. Wakefield was the seat of Viking power for the west riding. As the Vikings would have said "Jorvik vestr þriðjungur". The university of Leeds wanted to collaborate with the council to create the world's first self repairing city using robotics and drones. Apparently around 4 and a half thousand jobs in advanced manufacturing are soon coming to Leeds, that's on top of the tens of thousands of jobs being created by these developments.. It's a great international city, and is a "Brain gain" city, it's GDP grew 40% in under ten years, and it's city centre is set to double in size over the next few years and an urban park is coming to central Leeds, it also has boat taxis that were imported from Holland. It's an outward looking city made up of people from across the world

Also Yorkshire dialect contains over a thousands words of Viking origin, like "Mun" in Yorkshire dialect it means "Must" but in old Norse it was "Munu" meaning "Will"

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

That is all so familiar because I live in Leeds lol 😂

I'm moving to Leeds to study at the Uni of Leeds ... moving from Canada

Kirkstall Abbey was my adventure play ground as a kid.

I must include Leeds on my bucket list. That place is beautiful.

Do you live in Leeds docks? We have a place there. Leeds is great.

I love the style of this video! It's so professional looking! You earned a lil sub! Also Leeds is dope 💪🏽💪🏽

I may need correcting but to refer to a female as a Bird is from London. In days of old girl flower sellers used to whistle and sing to attract customers . They were called little sparrows ,Sparrows cant sing, hence little bird, which then became a little cockney sparrow . Only young women are called birds by blokes ie a London slang word for young men.

Love your video :) Leeds is a superb city! FC #111

My daughter and I went to Leeds in May to the Royal Armouries Museum, not to be missed. Leeds is first rate, we are planning another trip by Train from London in late October 2018. Real people not like London.

Awesome vlog! Thank you for showing us the beautiful surroundings of Leeds :D We gave you a like 8 and watched in full view :D

I'm going to Leeds next week for the weekend I'm really excited! Thanks for you video :)

you are the bird on the radar.

I love Leeds.

There's a lot more to Leeds than Kirkstall and the city centre though. Try Moortown and beyond - they're lovely areas.

yep from Leeds

Is Leeds a friendly place ?

The girl dialect sounds she's not english, is she came from American ?

Motorway not freeway this is Yorkshire England not America

I am seeing this man, he’s from Leeds, and he invited me to visit his hometown and London the end of December

Actually it is not a little city .... It is the third largest city in the United Kingdom after London and Birmingham.

My life is also 25% looking for toilets!!
