Three Things About England:

1) The "helpful" writing on the roads in London telling you to Look Right or to Look Left don't actually help, because I see Look and then look the way I normally do (and then I metaphorically smack my forehead and look the correct way). However, "Look both ways before crossing the street" is very good advice. Thanks, Mom and Dad.

2) Fruit Loops are £6 ($10) here. Lucky Charms are roughly the same price. I don't even want to know what the price is for Golden Grahams. (Edit: Also $10.) Also you can only get them in Speciality Shops because they were discontinued here for being unhealthy. Is anyone else surprised?

3) Planning for any sort of weather in England is highly inadvisable. If it looks like it will rain and the weather forecast says it will rain, it will not rain. That coat that you brought with you will instead become a burden as you roast in the humid heat. Alternatively, if it says it will be sunny and clear your clothing will be soaked by the torrential rain. I blame the lack of mountains.

3a) The lack of mountains is in fact the cause of global warming. Also the cause of the next ice age. Essentially I have determined that mountains are good.
