You know you're a Londoner when...

This post is just a bit random. But, good news! I booked a trip to Valencia with Rachel and all my spring break excursions outside of Rome! I don't have much left to book, so it is very exciting.

So, I stole this list from Michelle because it was a lot of fun! Here is what we have learned whilst in London (notice the use of whilst).

You know you're a Londoner when...

• Random people ask you for directions on the street

• You have been in a pub for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
• You avoid going out on half-term because there are just too many kids out
• You are able to get a whole meal off of samples at Borough Market
• You can get places without even reading the tube map
• You have heard the phrase "mind the gap" so many times that you can't even begin to count
• You know the name of the local homeless man (Brian - he sleeps by the bookshop)
• You go to the park to escape to a quiet place with trees

• You walk the escalators on the left side and run over anyone who is in your way
• You go to markets to get almost everything
• You don't even notice that it is misty and raining because it happens so often
• You eat McDonald's because it is cheap and healthier here
• You run over and complain about people who are walking slowly and are in your way

• You pour milk into your hot tea

• You have fallen in love with Sainsbury's 27p chocolate bars
• You think anyone who makes eye contact or talks to you on the tube is mad
• You know what "queue" means along with numerous other British phrases
• You stop taking all the free stuff that is handed out on the street because it just gets annoying
