London, EnglandWhile in London, I learned quite a bit about their culture, people, and areas. In my personal opinion, the thinks I learned are more interesting and useful than any information I found in my research.
1. ALWAYS mind the gap on the tube (in case you forget, you will be reminded constantly.) 2. The people of England, and much of Europe in general, apparently don't mind making out in the middle of the streets... In fact, no one even gives them a second look, which was so odd to me. 3. Buses do not care if you are trying to cross the street, neither do cars, my guess is pedestrian right of way doesn't exist there. 4. No one uses ice for their drinks.. So be sure to ask. Even then, you still may not get any. |
