So long England, and thanks for all the fish and chips

[mendhak]

I'm heading back home in a couple hours. Just wanted to say thanks for the vacation, the confusing London underground, the expensive bus rides, the amazing Old World charm, Stonehenge, the wonderful tourist spots, the history of the place, the overpriced food items everywhere, Christmas, the lack of Mountain Dew, the fact that hardly anyone in London speaks English, the pretty girls, the beautiful architecture, the vast amounts of copper coins that mysteriously accummulate in your pocket towards the end of the day, chips being called crisps, french-fries being called chips, the confusion of it all, the beer (mainly Carlsberg and Guinness), the fish and chips, the arrogant stuck up snobs that walk around near Trafalgar Square, the cold winds, the gloomy rains, the keyboards with certain keys in the wrong places, the reactions I'd have at center being spelt centre and color being spelt colour, and the amusement provided by the national obsession with David Beckham and Victoria Beckham and the Royal Family.
