This trip has convinced me in so many ways that being abroad is an excellent idea for anyone. You can have such a good time the locals of a distant town. So far the most memorable events have been the ones I could share with people I've never met before and would have never met if I hadn't have come here.
The sights are more beautiful than the cornfields of Indiana, but the way of life is rather similar, but yet different enough to be refreshing and remind you what your every day norms are. You can't really grasp what normal for you is until you see what something other than normal is. (Although tights as pants still happen in the UK... what a shame)
And on a final note, we are extremely similar to most everyone here. We all listen to American music, wear t-shirts with jeans, go to work from nine to five, and drink Jager bombs. However politically different we are it seems the only real thing that makes you stand out from a social situation is what you call a bathroom (well, and that whole accent thing).
