Throughout my days here in the UK, I come across certain things that puzzle me about London. Each time I find something, I think, "Geez, that would be funny to write about." So here they are...some things that puzzle me about the land of London.
1.) EVERY girl here wears heels. Like, it's always raining, everyone has a 100 gazillion mile walk to wherever they need to go...why the heels???? I don't get it.
2.) Everyone is always in a hurry. I know it's a city, but where are they always rushing off to? Like, the train comes every 5 minutes. Why the hurry? The FUNNY part about it is that while I was questioning myself about this today, I CAUGHT MYSELF RUSHING WITH THEM!!!
3.) No one talks or makes eye contact on the tube. I'm a sociable person. I find this very hard to deal with.
4.) It's always raining. Seriously. It's not just a myth, people. It's real.
5.) The tube closes at 12:30 typically. It's the major form of transportation in London. Why close it so early?
6.) The drinking age is 18, yet they card you when you don't look 21 years or older. I don't know about you, but my looks didn't change THAT much from 18 to now. And you can drink at 18, so why card to see if you're 21???
7.) OBAMA-MANIA. Now, I love the man and all (I voted for him), but seriously, he's on the cover of EVERY magazine here. And about trivial things, such as "Obama can dance!" and "Obama has a long day ahead of him." Like, he's everywhere. The Brit's are OBSESSED!
8.) While on the topic of newspapers, why do they post nude pictures in the public Metro?? Seriously people. There are young children on the tube!! I'm sure they shouldn't be seeing Gwyneth Paltrow's boob!
9.) This city is the absolute CLEANEST city I've ever seen! I don't know how they do it! There are hardly any trash cans available either (due to bomb threats). It's like the magic cleaning men come out in the middle of the night and work their tricks on the streets. It's wonderful!
10.) Last but not least, the food. While it has a reputation of being pretty bad, I have had little problems with it. What puzzles me is that while the portions are so small, I'm rarely hungry afterwards! It's amazing! It's like a diet without any effort!
That, ladies and gents, is my "puzzle me" facts for the day. I'm sure to find more within my stay here in London. Keep an eye out!!!!!
