Random Tidbits....

Some random tidbits that we have picked up in the short amount of time being here:

- No joke, there really are red buses and black taxis everywhere!
- Taking the tube is so incredibly easy and wonderful -

-I have never heard the term "brilliant" as much as I have here
- 70 degrees and sunny for the first few days...not bad
- Fashion trend for women is black tights and black leggings...they're everywhere!
- At John's training, he learned that the UK CPR guidelines are slightly different than those of the American Red Cross.
- When reading the local newspapers, there seems to be a very different take on the recent heightened European alert versus what we were hearing in the US.  They are describing the recent heightened alert "unwarranted" by the US and without proper evidence.  It is being called a political ploy due to US midterm elections coming up and to justify the (as they call, "unpopular") US war in Afghanistan.
