things i miss about living in the uk.

-the prices of items in the store including taxes

-not having to be mindful of where or when i can get alcohol (though not much of a concern cause i rarely drink these days)

-her

-finding return flights to places like amsterdam, barcelona, berlin or nice for under $100

-people asking me why i would leave a place like canada to live in a place like england. that's when it really hits home how idyllic canada is.

-people apologizing profusely when they think i'm american and i tell them i'm canadian.

-inn'it

-london being a 50 minute train ride. though i wouldn't want to live there for any extended period it's a fucking awesome place to visit.

-that feeling of confidence that comes once you realize you've become a fully assimilated resident of another country.

-emma watson. clearly i never met her or came anywhere close to meeting her but at least when i was living in the uk the chances of bumping into her were much greater than they are now.
