It seems like we just got here yesterday, but now we’re packing our bags. Again, my brain is in no state to be writing long entries, but again, here are some last random facts from Oxford and Britain as a whole.

• Boxers-exposing low-rise jeans is widespread with the English male demographic, not just with the “Urban Outfitters” crowd like Canada. I suppose it could be hot— and if you’re until that, you might get to see butt crack too
• The privatization of public transit in the United Kingdom is a horrible move, and there is absolutely no coordination between all transit authorities. There are two private bus companies in Oxford: Stagecoach, and the Oxford Bus Company.
  • Oxford Brookes has its own marketed bus operated by Stagecoach— it runs mostly on 30 minute headways and has serious schedule reliablility issues
• English men like to take off their shirts more than Canadians. Perhaps it’s because of the humid and muggy climate. English men predomiately are built similarly: tall and lanky.
• But overall, French guys are hotter than English guys. But on the other hand, English guys have really nice hair. On a side note, there are Toni and Guy’s everywhere.
• There are a lot of Tandoori places here. West Indians represent!
• There are no bubble tea places here. Chinese don’t represent! I should really start a business and acquaint the English to something other than tea or nasty £1 Carling beer!
• Discount clothier, Primark, is friggin awesome
• After being in Britain for a while, you get sick of visiting the following:
  
  • Churches and cathedrals
  
  
  • Countryside
  
  
  • Historic buildings
  
  
  • Pedestrian streets (some)
  
  
  • English food
  
  
  
  

That’s all folks, we’re off to Madrid for 2 days, then to Barcelona for 3, then back to London for 2, and back in Toronto on the 20th. Someone please prepare me some Chinese food immediately upon my return.

I should have internet access in Spain, but I’m sure the updates would be sporadic.

Cheerio!
