Why did you decide to come to Sheffield?

I've actually heard a lot about Sheffield & wanted to come & see what the fuss was all about. The people here are great. Everybody is always smiling which is really good. I'm not originally from here, I'm from sunny California, but to come here & see everything, it's quite something.

Has anything in particular in Sheffield caught your attention?

There's too much to mention actually. I've seen the town hall which is great. It has a huge front garden, which is amazing & the fountains surrounding it are absolutely magnificent. I've seen the Peak District & that’s just breath taking & the Peace Gardens are just really nice. I actually really do like it. I'm here with my two daughters & I think their having as much a good time as I am & that’s great.

Have you been to any other places in Sheffield other than just around town & the Peak District?

Yes I have actually. Me & the girls spent all day in the great shopping mall the other day. Meadowhall I think its called. They had a field day & I was left carrying all the bags. So much for making daddy pay. Hahaha…… It's all in good fun. As long as their happy, & then we all did come here to have some fun & enjoy & even relax a little bit. Even if it means them shopping till they drop & I drop carrying their bags.

Would you recommend Sheffield to others?

Absolutely. I have actually been here only a few days & have enjoyed every moment of it so far. I love being here, & so far the weather has been good too. Yes I have heard about the typical British weather, hahaha…… It's great. I'm loving it, my girls are loving it & anybody else who wants to come is going to love it too. Plus I went to see the Hallam University too which is really good. There are lots of students about & with what I hear & see, I don’t see why anybody would not want to come & study here.
