is there a reason why the uk is different from "the rest" of europe?

Because it is different. It's not part of the Eurozone so doesn't use the Euro. (ok, other countries like Sweden also doesn't) More importantly, it's not part of the Schengen countries in Europe, which means that a visa that gets you into most EU member states won't get you into the UK. It also means there are border controls if you travel between the rest of Europe and the UK. You can travel all the way from France…

You are suggesting that there are more cultural differences between France and England, than between France and Poland. I wouldn't say so.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm from Cape Town. Some parts of it might be like SF, but maybe not so much in the startup sense.

More than Joburg, methinks. You have Silicon Cape, Google Ventures, topless models, great mountain biking and a local government that has some interest in your continued success.

Seen everything but topless models here.
