...like what it is about England

...like you see winter jackets all over the place - cropped leather bomber jacket, retro coats, polar fleece jackets, army style jacket, ski jackets, biker jackets, waterproof jackets, hooded jackets, snowboard jackets, ... i could go on

...like cycling is a hobby gone serious

...like drinking is a religion and there's no stopping

...like there is so much black around that you yearn for color

...like the weather is as unpredicatble as my moods. There's an old saying, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes"

...like i think this is the only country in the world where the guys are better looking than the gals. I haven't been to Italy yet!

...like you need a 3-square-pin adapter

...like i don't think there's too much to English cuisine other than fish n chips. Okay.. Pie and Pudding. Thats it

...like there was a serpentine long queue to get into Primark and huge frenzy of bargain hunters clambering over each other inside. I thought that happened only at Big Bazaar in India!

...like if you are in London, you'd never miss the crowd in Bombay - thousands of heads bobbing up and down in the vast sea of homo sapiens

...like rail engineering work on holidays and long weekends is commonplace. I am beginning to believe they do it more out of habit than out of need
