Strange Places

When I was in England I would always look the wrong way when crossing the road. Because the roads are opposite of how they are here, I always looked the wrong way (even though our motto is "look both ways"). It was also weird because we walked everywhere instead of drove. It was either that or take the "underground". We also walked everywhere in Spain and Paris, but I guess it would be about the same in the city.

One thing that I couldn't get over when I went to Europe was their water power. In America I don't think we realize how strong our water power is, for example how hard the shower head sprays or how fast the toilet flushes. The showers in England felt like the water just trickled out of the shower head and the toilets took forever to flush. Its a weird thing to notice but I couldn't help how much it bothered me.

That's so cool I want to go to England. I heard it was so much fun. Haha that's really funny how you always looked the wrong way even though our motto is "look both ways" because i would do that too in Hong Kong and Taiwan because they drive on different sides of the rode and no one cares about pedastrians.

Thats really funny! I totally agree with you; I hate when the water pressure is really light.
