My first impressions of the UK (Liverpool to be more specific) are as follows...
They do indeed call strollers "prams"
Apparently, and I quote:
"You have such skinny squirrels in the states. We have well taken care of squirrels here."
"Cheers" Is another way of saying thanks
Upon landing, the little boy behind me on the plane started singing Frank Sinatra's
British children are very appropriately musically educated
Calendars here are called "diaries"
(So imagine a grown man saying that he has to go write down a date in his diary...)
I will never get used to driving on the opposite side of the road
I've started thinking in a british accent
They DO have Krispy Kreme here!

While at a craft store today (I mean... come on guys, it's me) I heard Justin Bieber's
Brits love the Biebs too
It's true what they say about the tea obsession...
You know how we have TJ Maxx? Well here it's TK Maxx
I kid you not

All jokes aside, I'm here safe and sound and I've already had an adventure or two and can't wait to have some more.
Photos to come!

Enjoy England, it's a great place. As a true Brit I can confirm that the tea rumour is true - we drink gallons of the stuff!
