Day 12: 5 mile walk in oxford

I woke up this morning, had some breakfast then me and my friend Leriam walked all around town to the covered market, around to the oxford canal and we even made a stop at an all-american institution to get our fix:) Yummmmy! american fatty foods:) then we walked to the Thames river and there were boat races going on all day, so it was fun to sit in the sun and enjoy watching the boats and large crowds of people. all together we figured out we walked about 5 miles total. then we came back and rested for the afternoon. we even watched "My fair lady"





Today i wanted to make a list of funny things that British people say or do that are very different and some that are hard to get used to...

1) instead of 'Roundtrip', its 'Return'

2) i love that they say "thats lovely" all the time:)

3) Cheers or cheersmate are used sometimes WITH thank you and sometimes in REPLACE of thank you and sometimes its just to say goodbye.

4) rubbish means trash

5) a lift is an elevator

6) the tele is the TV

7) a muffin here is what we think of as an English muffin... go figure, right:) then they call a muffin (by our standards) as a bun

8) a Lorry is a truck

9) of course, the loo is the bathroom

10) the watercloset and bathroom are two very different things. here in the house all the toilets are in little closets throughout the house and the bathrooms are just a shower and sink in a separate room

11) trousers are pants

12) french fries are chips and chips are crisps

13) the picture i have of the orange juice is because instead of 'no pulp', it says 'no bits'
