All Things British

There is something completely intoxicating about British culture...it may have something to do with the stately buildings of royalty in the middle of a metropolitan city, the Queen's emblem everywhere, or the picturesque green and lavish parks in the middle of a city square; or perhaps it's the accent - the way that everyone sounds entirely intelligent and only slightly snobbish and you just want to stop and listen, fervently wishing the words coming out of your mouth sounded nearly as endearing; or it might be the wonderful phrases that are used - like 'sticky wicket', as in my cab driver saying 'Hold on love, turning about, in a bit of a sticky wicket here.' Whatever it is about the culture here - which I'm positive there are so many things - I find myself grinning as I walk down the streets, even if it is misty outside.
