England

I’ve been surprised how different our culture is from Englands.  I thought we were more similar than we really are.  We both speak English but I was surprised how many words are different. I put some of the words down below.  Another difference is most people here are really reserved.  We’ll be on a crowded tube but it’s silent because no one talks with each other.  People don’t make eye contact and smile to say hi.    It’s interesting how much you’re influenced by your culture.  It makes me wonder how different I’d be if I grew up here.

One thing I do love is their fashion.  Everyone here is very fashionable.  Even when I try to get ready I still feel very frumpy next to all the trendy people.  People are much bolder with their fashion here.  I’ve seen lots of printed legging as pants, black nylons under shorts, and bright unnatural colored hair.  The men are also very trendy.  It makes me want to switch up my fashion and try something a little different.  It’s always good to have a change to switch things up a bit.  I won’t be wearing leopard leggings anytime soon though :) 

Tomorrow we head for PARIS!!!!!!!!  I can't believe it's finally here.  I won't have internet, but I'll update the blog when I get back.  Pray we won't be "Taken"
