Completely Random

So this blog post is just going to be a collection of things I have noticed over here.  I apologize for how random and out of order this will be.

1. The pink lemonade here is awful.  It's carbonated and is cranberry flavored.  Let's just say I was very surprised when I took my first sip of this last night.  Good thing I bought a 2 liter bottle.
2. I eat so many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (this isn't that abnormal for me but wanted to include it).
3. The next door neighbors have chickens.  I don't like the neighbors.
4. Everyone is always in such a rush on the tube, but they take their time anywhere else (restaurants and stores).
5. People don't say "bloody hell" that often.
6. If you like ice in your drinks, don't expect to get any while you are here.  Room temp is the norm.
7. Water fountains are almost completely non-existant.
8. The mayo tastes like mustard.  Found that one out the hard way.
9. I've had to run to catch a bus more times than I would like to, and I always feel like an idiot.
10. Most people are pretty helpful when we ask for directions, except for the time we asked 4 different people how to get to the same place and they all gave us different directions. 
11. Krave cereal=amazing. There's Nutella inside of it. 
12. Cars don't really care if you are in the crosswalk or not and bikers are even worse. 
13. People here have thought a few of us with blonde hair are from Germany. 
14. They have more coins in their currency than we do and less bills.  Huge pain.  Yes, that's me holding up the line because I'm an American trying to figure out the difference between a 10 pence coin and a 20 pence coin. 
15. We have four different locks on our front door.  Kari and I had quite the struggle this morning trying to figure out why our door wouldn't open from the inside.
