Well, the taxi drivers maybe, but I think that's something taxi drivers everywhere share. The only thing that was hard to remember was when crossing streets to look in the opposite direction you would in the US. However, they had these nifty messages painted on the street saying "LOOK LEFT" or "LOOK RIGHT" so that helped. :P Mom thinks the English are rude, but I didn’t pick up on any of that.

You *need* to go to Devon next time! Did you befriend anybody while there, and were they friendly? I want to go to Hyde Park too, if I go over there. :P Were the roundabouts crazy and confusing?

I tried to go back down to that part of London to do the Abbey, but mom wanted shopping and hated going on the Tube. So, instead we went to the National Gallery because there's an H&M not too far from there. The British Library was in walking distance (well, kind of) but we didn't go. Mom didn't see the point of going to a library. *sighs* I brought it up more than once to no avail. Nik, I knew they were Italian because they opened their mouths...and the menu stated it.

You answered Kittie's question in way more detail. But I shall not complain.. For I am satesfied. I'd love to see Chain of keys. I wonder what tuna kisses tastes like... And you went to tEngland without having afternoon tea? Isn't that like going to the middle east and doing terror? Or going to the US without eating cheese burgers? Or going to Sweden without having... well... having any. Me noticed that London was a dirty place with lots of building looking black on the backside. How can you tell they were italians? Here the pizza people are mostly always middle east. Your mother and you doesn't seem to have drama nearly as much as I thought you would... English people loves parks and guardens! And since you are from another contintent chances are the plants would not look all the same. When I tried to go buy counter tickets the big evil ocunter guy was all "Ehh, use the machine." But I figured out the buttons after all because I'm clever like that. I feel that is a good way to end this comment... so *click* That is so unfair! You answered Kittie’s question in way more detail.

Anyhoo, damn right! We'd have had a hilariously good time shopping in London. And I have no concept of money and therefore would've infected you with the same zestful disregard...
