*yes it is as expensive as you think it is, but some things are a bit cheaper such as cheese and certain fruit
* i love the backs of the food you eat! there are so many informative things on there such as how much energy you get out of this, what types of foods are in it (standard i know), and some other cute funky things
* pubs are the place to be! everyone goes there after work and you DO NOT have to tip on every drink you buy. I went to this one pub by the river Exe and there were a bunch of ducks and it was so pretty
* it is really hard not to say things like the people around you. i have noticed my vocabulary to consist of words which have never usually flowed out of my lips such as lovely, cheers, midday, etc. it is quite comical*it is nice that people actually smile at each other when you walk past each other on the streets
well i will work on this but these are the only ones that i can think of right now.
as far as work goes my boss is the kind of chick who runs around to a million places at once doing everything. hummm sound familiar. she is really quite cool and nice and has a bunch of work cut out for me. i was a bit intimidated at first but now i am like well guess i better bust my butt! her postdoc Aude is the nicest thing out there! she is so very cute and shows me around and helps me with everything in this amazing way that doesnt make me feel like an idiot. the rest of the students are all really cool and nice about everything.
the work day here is pretty great.some people dont follow it quite by the minute but most do. arrive work anywhere between 9/10, coffee break at 11, lunch at 1, tea at 4 and finish at 6 where you go to the pub. pretty nice huh? i don't know how you get anything done since once you get into a groove another little break that lasts up to an hour! haha i can get used to this i think ;)
This is the River Exe that runs through Exeter and the pub that we had drinks was right next to this.

Cool beans. Sounds like an adventure. I will be especially interested in hearing how the surf is. ;-D
so i have to ask, do people smile when they call you britt in britain?
"hey britt, get over here!" could be quite rude if overheard, actually.
