London Learnings

Top 10 things I have learnt after moving to London:
1. How to not sink and swim instead in a pool
2. Roasted vegetables is tasty dinner made easy.
3. In England, people (friends/strangers) really do say "love" to every woman/girl (I suppose I should use the word, wench) .
4. If really DOES rain over here.
5. Shepherd's Pie has no crust. It is just baked mashed potato and bits of meat
6. It is 'normal' to consume peas in MASHED form, especially with fish and chips.
7. Oxford Street and Regent Street must be avoided on weekends, except from between 9 and 11 on a Saturday morning.
8. If you are at Paddington, Earls Court or South Kensington station, prepare to hop across suitcases and kids.
9. The Science Museum on a weekend is a BAD idea (the queues outside were proof)
10. Do not stop walking and look around to see what has happened if you hear a police/ambulance siren. You'll hear one every 3 minutes. Make that 2. Also, if you stop, the person walking behind you will bump into you.

10. " What ho, what ho, what ho?"

Views from above

The view from the Terrace outside the Physics Common Room at Imperial. Can you spot all the major landmarks?

Three and a half years from now, the bells will chime.
