Taking on embracing life in a foreign country is much like wiping the slate clean of habitual habits formed in your inherent culture.

Cars are zooming around at a much faster pace than in the US. It would be fun to join in the race. Thinking I would need some practice though as they drive on the opposite side of the road.

Walking around can be a bit of an adjustment here. Love the fact they have Arrows painted on the pavement of the crosswalk to identify which way to look before crossing the street. I observe that there are no street signs, which can be a bit challenging in finding your way. GPS for me is a must here. Although a bit revealing if you have no international phone or wireless connections.

First day out-discovered a Pub with awesome fish-n-chips served with mashed peas.

Love the quaint brick housing. Feeling a bit like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz discovering beauty as I travel down the unknown path of quaint little streets.
