Re: Traveling/moving abroad

I've only visited London, but I'm also from a smallish American town.

* Be prepared for higher costs of everything. Food, for starters. Eating in restaurants is expensive, and raw ingredients cost more, too. That said, try to eat ALL the things when possible!

* Lots of walking. I loved the Tube, but it's still a lot more walking than the average American is used to. Start getting in shape now if you're not already physically fit.

* Try not to gush too much about how much you love England/English culture, etc. People will look at you funny.

* Explore the city, it's cheap entertainment. Locals are great to hang out with, but they also don't view their hometown the way a tourist does. Get out on your own if you can, and don't be afraid to visit touristy places. You're a tourist, after all.

* Try to get out of the city if you can. London is awesome, but don't spend your entire time there. One of the best things about England vs. the U.S. is that it's smaller and a lot easier to get on a train and be someplace different in a couple hours. It's possible to see Stonehenge on a daytrip, so go for it!

* If you're at all interested in history, write down a list of places to visit. Ditto fandom stuff like Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, whatever.

Have fun! :)
