Things Jij has learned in England (typed by Jij)
  • People drive on the left because, in the olden days, it was preferable to pass other horsemen on the sword arm.
  • Things are in different places on English keyboards. Use the @ with my pinky?
  • Claire's grandparents bought their house for £5000 pounds and payed £19/month mortgage. In 1949.
  • I'm afraid of climbing up 2 stories on a ladder. (As grandpy said, I'm "not a ladderman."
  • English soft-serve ice cream is far superior to the stuff you get in America. A 99er with a Cadbury Flake = excellent.
  • Castles are for real.
  • Grime is a type of music, East London-style hip hop. Check out Lethal Bizzle or Dizzee Rascal. Note that I did not recommend either.
  • The English like: walking in parks and gardens, drinking tea, sitting and talking (preferably outside, preferably with tea and in a garden), eating treats and sweets and sausages.
  • I can't wait until next time.
