London Observations... O.o

Having only experienced London through films and books, I wasn't really sure what to expect but here is the basic low-down on what I observed.

• I think that they are speaking English but I can't tell for sure because I have no idea what they are saying.
• Some people may say that America is the melting pot of the world but I think London is.
• Only on the tube (underground subway thingy) can you hear 5 different languages being spoken at once in one car.
• People are running everywhere... and usually with backpacks. (I don't get it either)
• Bryan's slang foils all of the locals; it is hilarious!
• IPods are a must for locals but they hide the earphones inside their shirts, hmmm....
• Chips are not chips, they are fries. French fries do not exist because they are French and what self respecting English person would want a French fry?
• Old buildings and new buildings are side by side. You can see the history of a nation in one glance.
• English tourists are the best because they are just as confused as all the other tourists! (I guess this would be the same for me in LA though.)
• The English do not feel the need to refrigerate food like eggs or meats... this worries me greatly.
• Good news, Starbucks has a successful franchise because it tastes the same over here!
• A check is a bill, a bathroom is a toilet or a loo, ''Is it close?'' is ''Is it ready?'', take-out is take away.
• The drivers here are crazier than my mom (for those of you know her, this is a big deal).
• Platform 9 3/4 exists but apparently, we are not wizard material.
• They act like this heat wave is the end of the world (it is actually just in the 80s).
• The dark liquid in the morning is tea... not coffee :(
• I am not sure that the ''London Pass'' exists.
• It practically costs money to breathe in London so come prepared and watch out for those crazy people running with backpacks!
