I am leaving Brighton in five days... where did the time go?!
Some things about England:- In California, people freak out when it rains. But here it happens so often that it doesn't even really phase you anymore.
- English people love to say "brilliant" and "rubbish."
- The style here is classier and more sophisticated than in California... I love it.
- Girls in America always idealize British men because of actors like Hugh Grants... but let me just say that British men are definitely overrated. They are not that great looking or charming.
- People greet each other by saying "hiya" and say their farewells with "cheers"... someone please tell me, why are British people so cute?
- English mustard tastes like wasabi.
- And English food tastes like "rubbish"!
- Afternoon tea is really cute and girly... it makes Starbucks look boring. I wish we had it in America.
- But, the only Brits who actually drink afternoon tea are either wealthy or elderly... or both.
- English people don't eat fish & chips that much.
- The weather can never make up its mind. It literally has to change every five minutes.
- It's not cell phone, it's "mobile." And it's not "restroom," it's "the loo" or " the toilet."
- The English like to curse. But sometimes, it sounds cute... basically if you have a British accent, you can say anything and it either sounds intelligent or cute.
- The English like everything organic or recycled: food, bags, clothes, cups...
- They also like "fair trade" products.
- Apart from the really cute accents, longer history, and different types of stores/brands, England is really not THAT different from America. It's pretty easy to adjust.
I like England.
