Initial Observations

Without having seen much of anything yet, I note that:
  • The underground is pretty easy to navigate, but walking around is harder because the street system isn't intuitively decipherable and there aren't always street signs.
  • Crossing the street is a deadly exercise and should be avoided at all costs.
  • People are helpful. When you vacantly stare at coins in your hand, they will tell you how much they're worth, without lying or stealing from you.
  • I feel stupid saying "Cheers" and don't always know when it's appropriate, but it seems like it always is. The British should learn to craft a set of distinct pleasantries with precise meanings.
  • I need to become more comfortable with degrees Celsius and 24-hour clocks.

Hahaha -- the British always confused me with "cheers." Sometimes they just say it when you're in the middle of conversing. :-/

Keep the posts coming!
