one sad thing: It hasn't been cold enough to snow while I've been here--very unusual.
one amusing thing: British people apparently call quotation marks "inverted commas."
one annoying thing: The walls of the room are so thin that I can not only hear the guy next door talking very loudly in Russian (?) on the phone each night--I can also (barely) hear his wife on the other end.
one weird thing: Surfing the internet from another country gives you strange ads--including ones about winning a green card. (Instant ticket to the USA!)
speaker phone?
mmm...I don't really think so :P
