Here is part two of my observations about London and its people. You can check out part one here.
1. Everyone, and I mean everyone, owns a trench coat. So glad I brought mine so that I can fit in!
2. They promote personal space by having arm rest dividers on the tube and benches so that no one's all up in your space. I cannot get enough of this. I seriously wish we had more of this back home.
3. Stores close much earlier than in the States. There are even restaurants (Panera style, not sit-downs) that close up shop by 8pm. I could not believe it. I ended up having to go without towels for two days because I kept thinking I could go shopping at 8:30, but oh no. Some stores even close at 7pm. So different! (Don't worry though, McDonalds is open until 2am.)
4. Booties are huge here! Even now that it's June and actually getting nice, they're everywhere.
Well that's all for this installment of The Thing About London is...
Stay tuned for more!
