A quick update for now.
I am in now in Coventry, UK - the city which is known as the birthplace of the British motor industry. Coventry is also famous for a legend - that of Lady Godiva. According to this story, Lady Godiva rode naked through the streets in order to relieve the suffering of the people of Coventry from her husband's oppressive taxation.
I found it interesting to learn that the term 'Peeping Tom' also originated from this story. It comes from the name of a tailor called Tom, who was the only one in the city who saw the Lady naked.
More updates later.
