The main thing I noticed about London, and England in general, is that they had a few different words for things than us. Although we can understand each other completely, the terminology can be just a little confusing. The main one I can think of is the word loo. This is what some people call a toilet and I was very confused by it. I couldnt find a bathroom anywhere because they weren't labeled as toilet or bathroom, they were labeled as loos or as a WC, which stands for water closet. The latter I was able to understand because of my time in Vienna. Other than some terminolgy differences, I didn't see much of a difference in other aspects. When I was in London, it basically felt like any other big city I've been to in the states. I didn't think that people acted any differently in London than they do in Chicago or New Orleans. I expected there to be more differences but the terminology is the only thing that I could pick out.
