a word often used to describe england.
since i am leaving england in less than 2 weeks, i thought it would be appropriate to jot down a list of things i will miss about living in england and things that i wont miss. it always helps me to look at both the good and the bad about somewhere and reflect upon the place i am living. so suffice it to say, this activity is more for my own benefit, but i figured some people out there could be interested in these thoughts as well.
what i will miss: fish and chips. pulled pints. crumpets. winding, narrow roads lined with trees. gorgeous cathedrals. how close everything is. people-friendly public transport. buildings and pubs that are older than america. cheap flights to neighbouring places. british slang. british spelling. going into london and walking past big ben like it's no big deal. jodi. earl & rebecca. saying 'good morning' to people while walking to college each morning. the indian man who works at the shop in our neighbourhood. bob at the seacourt. cream tea. good curry. my housemates.
what i wont miss: tea (even though i drink at least one cup a day!). the lack of good customer service. restaurants/pubs where you have to order at the till/bar. how expensive everything is. the lack of iced coffee. my bed. living in such an intense environment. how early everything closes. the weather.
