Stronger than ever.

Some quick facts about London, and a bit about England:

* English food is weird
* Fish and chips are very hard to come by in London
* English coins are tad ludicrous and nigh-impossible to decrypt
* Toilet parer there doesn't always come in rolls, but often in a manner of a tissue-box.
* Their Underground is called Tube for a reason - it's small. Very, very small and tight. I'll never understand how English people can stuff themselves into it.
* Most English kids look like skinheads. No, scratch that, they're probably are skinheads.
* Starbucks, Subway's and Pizza Hut are everywhere.

It was a trip with my class, so I was in 6-person room. Not a good experience when you hate half of them.

At least, I got to buy a few things and see London Natural History Museum. They got nice birds. And gems. And dinosaurs. And Earth-quake demonstrations.

Did you try and make those London guards smile and laugh like all the other stupid kids that go?

No.

They didn't show us the Buckingham Palace.

other things you missed:
the london underground is oddly pleasant, imo.
their chinatown is expensive as hell (compared to ny chinatown)
their money is .. somewhat heavy
Some places charge your 50pence to use their restrooms

Edit: and you came back without mention of waffles. European street vendor waffles are made of concentrated awesome

I've been to China Town, but as I don't like Chinese food, I didn't ate anything, ordered only Jasmin tea.

That way, I payed only one pound.

My (idiotic) classmates, who went all out for buffet had to pay 15 pounds each... I'm slimy bastard, yes :D

Edit: Haven't seen any waffles.

Of course, mainland Europe, will, and always was superior when it comes to waffles, cakes, etc.
Anything other than pudding.

Not as much.

Sadly, no Doctor.

Though, I had seen a TADRIS somewhere...

Two nations, separated by the customary arrangement of toilet paper.


I could never go to such a scary place.

In Canada milk comes in bags.My middle school served milk in bags. You had to squeeze the bag and punch your straw in it while your thumb covers the hole, if you don't, milk will squirt out and hit your face or your pants if you're standing up. I love it when n00bs get their first bag. :wacko:

Sounds humiliating.

I hated those kinds of things that just ejaculated all over you because I was always a victim.

You seem confused.

Just because Canada is up from the US on a map doesn't mean it's physically above the country - IN OUTER SPACE.

No, I meant that in Space, drinks also come in bags, like in Canada or U.S

I'll drive however I please. I'll just yell out as my professor did when he lived in Paris: "Je suis américain et extrêmement violent!" except in English.
