We arrived tonight. Humid, warm and rainy at the same time; like it!
So now I’ll practice to say flat, not apartment. Underground, not subway. Mate, not pal. And so on…
Some initial observations: There are bags of trash on the pavement (not sidewalk!). Strange to a Swede, daily life to a Londoner I presume. Apparently the garbage men pick them up with spiked bars.
Another, admittedly more anecdotal observation: the tv film adverts covering the underground environment (in lack of a better expression) are definitely more horror and sci-fi geared than Swedish film (which I would say is heavy on drama and thriller/crime). Hooray to that, right up my alley!
Third one for the road: in the underground trains, people sit facing each other, instead of staring at necks.
Asking questions are in fact nice thing if you are not understanding something
entirely, however this piece of writing provides good understanding yet.
