h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I moved a couple of months ago and i have to say: the change was really massive!
Life in England is just totaly differnt, but very similar in the very same moment.
The small things one is used to change in a second and this is something you have to get used to in first place, but it is quite enjoyable after that.
I think it is stuff which people who are born here don't even realise.
e.g. that the cars are driving on the other site (i ve been nearly killed for a few times), the bread is different(why didn't anyone tell me that???) and i can generally say that the peole are far more polite than they are in my homecountry(did you ever realize that >sorry< is written on the busses when they are not in service???).

The society here seems to be very open-minded and multicultural, and i absolutely love this!
so now i can say that i am very happy that i 've moved in the country next door that has already provided me with a lot of new impressions!

where have you moved from?

as a brit who lives with these everyday abnormalities you describe

andy

i am from germany, the other rainy country around

so why have you moved to britain ?
what do you do ?

andy the inquisitive

cause i wanted to see a bit more than germany and when i say >see< i dont mean for holiday
so i decided to take a break and go to 6th form in the uk. and it is really cool!i already made up my mind about comin back for uni(and i will,!
but seriously: the food here is a bit strange....have ya tried chocolate and mint ice cream? that is soooooooooo disgusting!

that'll be mint choc chip its not disgusting it is wonderful i take it you dont have that kind of thing in germany then !!
so where are you schooling then if you dont mind me asking ?

btw while on holiday in turkey . i only got back on thursday i met quite a lot of germans a lot arent very friendly there were only a few we met who seemed friendly i dont know why ?


andy

no, we don't have choc chip mint ice cream in germany(not that i mind), but we either don'y have toffee popcorn and man! i love that!

I would not say that people from germany are generally unfriendly, but i would state us as -hmm,how can i say that without being offensive?- yeah, as not well known for our patience(most germans don't queue for the bus;-D )or politeness.

i live in the lovely city brighton, next to the sea >cheer<.

have you visited any other places in britain ?

and btw i knew about the queue thing from my experience but i was being polite and didnt want to mention it

toffee popcorn now you are talking that is one of my favourites but i suppose its different as i have been able to taste it all the time .

well i suppose its like when we visit other counties we taste there cuisine !!!
