10 things I learned in England
Publié le 23 Juillet 2014
- The weather changes every 2 minutes. It can be rainy, then sunny, then snowing, then hailing then sunny again. When it's sunny (yes it is sometimes! ) you learn to appreciate the sun & everybody go crazy and they all go to parks almost naked.
- you might think the bus stop is made the wrong way, it's not really, it's just in case something wrong happened on the road, or maybe for the rain. who knows.
- British people are not cold, especially girls at night, whether it's O°C outside and snowing they will still be wearing mini skirts with very high heels and absolutely no coat.
- you can actually find some good stuff to eat in England, not many but you can.
- in British houses there are very sensitive smoke alarms, expect to be awaken anytime of the day.
- I don't know what's worse: having an icing cold running water or burning hot water, you choose.
- be super polite is the best way to behave. - say " thank you " & " sorry " as much as you can, even when there is no need to, even when it's not your fault, even if you don't understand why you should thank a bus driver and apologize when it's not your fault, just say it.
- Queue, simply queue. do not go before anybody if you're in a rush, and wait for your turn, even when you have to queue under pondering rain, for 4 hours and you're cold, tired and hungry, stay calm and queue.
- In England the way your dress and your hairstyle have absolutely no importance. You can have bright pink hair with huge eyelashes and can be wearing a cow-like pyjama in the middle of the street. There is absolutely no problem with that.
- In red brick houses the stairs are so steep you can walk up on all fours but should avoid them when you're drunk. They are too steep. I fell & It really hurt.
