Make US Brits!

Hmm…maybe we should have something like this. We just can’t afford to give away an iPod Nano like the guys over at studyabroad.com are.
One Grand-prize winner will receive an iPod Nano
Ten finalists will be judged by StudyAbroad.com visitors
I think i might even enter. I have a couple good ones somewhere in my iPhoto archive mess […]

GMT anyone?
The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich and I’m a bit partial to this neighborhood in South East London because I used to live there. It’s simply beautiful and full of history. Henry VIII used to have his dog kennels here and Henry VI built a palace, which is now long gone.
If you are ever […]

Everyone, and by everyone I mean all Londoners, complain about train delays on the tube. It’s a natural part of the goliath system that is the London Underground. I think most Londoners didn’t get the memo regarding how their subway system is one of the best in the world, but we’ll humble them anyways. What […]

Yes, there comes a time in everyone’s life when we just want to throw, stomp on or flush our mobile phones out of frustration for technology that doesn’t quite work as intended (”Can you hear me now?…”).
Finally, our prayers have been answered with the first UK Mobile Phone Throwing championships to be held in London […]

Rachel, a commuter from North London, was in one of the trains and […]

Public toilets in London. Hm. Everyone complains that you have to pay the 20p, but at least they HAVE public toilets. And now the city has a committee to make them better. The Londonist briefs us on the special event.
I don’t know about you, but maybe the city should look into the late-night-drunken-street-peeing problem that […]

Apparently, I’m not alone in this. Sentiment towards American’s isn’t always in tip-top shape, especially due to politics over here. The American Chronicle gives us a little bit of insight into the experiences of American’s abroad:

Can you pass a citizenship test?
Sean at http://www.whatseansaw.com gives us his whole-hearted opinion after taking the test:
I’m British, have lived here all my life, work for Her Britannic Majesty’s Government, I vote and consider myself to be more than a little politcally aware. I got six out of 15 so don’t feel too disheartend […]
