A few Quick Observations

I have noticed a few small things that make England Different From the US.

• every sink and i mean EVERY sink has two faucets, one for hot and one for cold. I thought this might just be because the university is from the 60's but even the new sinks in the remolded building have 2 faucets.
• You can walk across any open field and nobody will get mad. apparently the british are fiercely protective of what they call right to pass laws that allow anyone access to cross open fields and land, even say active wheat fields.
• The whole wrong side of the road thing isn't limited to just cars. People's natural instinct here is to move to the left even when walking or riding a bike. I seem to be always trying to go right and end up screwing up the walking system for everyone else.
• Some things are the same price as in the US after converting the currency and others are twice the price. Like for example, CDs are 5 pounds and DVDs are 8 pounds so $10 for a CD and $16 for a DVD isnt that far removed from what you pay in the US. However an all day bus pass is 3 pounds, which a bus pass for $3 isnt all that unresonalble. however that 3 pound is acually $6.
• Apparently the drinking fountain has not been discovered in England yet. I have yet to see a single water fountain in any airport, train station, subway station, library, university building, or anywhere else. I guess they really want you to have to buy a bottle of water rather than just give it away.
• Also, apparently no one has found out about those little plastic clips we use to reseal bread bags. Every bred loaf in the store is just closed with a sticker, so there is no way to re-close the bread bags.
