1. The accents
2. The public transportation
3. The fast food...sure they have all the fast food chains of america, but if you go to any store or sandwich shop, they have individually wrapped lunches for about $3-4 each, and vegan options. So tasty
4. Pubs and cider...the cider is so much better where it is brewed, and the veggie burgers at pubs are made with beans and chickpeas, tasting more like yummy falafel then processed vegetable protein
5. high speed trains, traveling at over 180mph, scarey when you stand near the tracks, but quite efficient and able to get you to the next country in a couple hours.
6. The people...so much more friendly then Americans
7. Museums are free, that's right, any art, science, or other museum owned by the government is free to the public. Way to promote culture and intelligence!!!
8. British novels...I always pick up a book in a book store when stopping over near London, and some of the best ones I have read were by british authors from there..for example: 1. We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, 2. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon, and I am currently reading Missing by Susan Lewis which I bought in London the other day and love it.
