I had been told several times that living in the UK is just like living in another foreign country; pretty much all we have in common is the language. I didn't understand just how true this statement is until this past week. Besides from the obvious ones (left side of the road, queuing, "chips" for fries and "biscuits" for cookies, double-decker buses), there are tons of tiny differences that I am noticing everyday. For instance, the clothing sizes are different, there are no free refills, and dryer sheets don't seem to exist. Contrary to what people believe, peanut butter can be found in any grocery store. Granted, it doesn't taste exactly the same, but it's still peanut butter.
I absolutely love it here, and my flatmates are great! Today, Mariah, Rachel, Zak, and I went to Greenwich market and found a bunch of yummy food vendors. We also came across the Old World Naval Academy. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I really want to go back sometime. Riding the tube (subway) is a lot easier than I expected, so traveling all over the city is very fast and easy.
Well, I've officially been here 10 days. 95 more wonderful days of adventures!!
