Today is my one month anniversary in England. I'm wouldn't say I have the swing of things yet but here are some of my personal truisms. I managed to get 10 in all and I think its only appropriate that 3 of these involve weather.
- I always need an umbrella (or rain-jacket) even if its perfectly sunny when I leave my house.
- The tube map is not nearly as complicated as the underground pathways between tube lines.
- The crazy bureaucracy in Southern Africa? Yeah they learned if from the British.
- My co-workers want tea as much as I do (which is always)
- I will always find it cold, especially inside
- Cross walk lights are really only 'suggested' times its probably safe to cross
- I don't have enough battery on my phone to spend an entire day trying to navigate London
- I know where my British Grandfather's love of puns come from
- The British have perfected the sandwich and the charity shop (which are also good when enjoyed together)
- Leather footwear is a must in a rainy climate
Now that I'm settled in London I hope to do some more exploring so stay tuned.
