Random travelling tidbits

Random smattering of thoughts (forgot the camera cable, so no pics):

- Wrong side of the road is confusing; despite growing up in Singapore, I'm already conditioned, whether it's walking into oncoming pedestrian traffic as I walk on the right side or looking the wrong way when I cross the street (I now just always look down since they have painted on the street which way to look)

- Airlines are stupid; they do know that the napkins packaged with condiments always smell strongly of pepper, don't they?

- The English take their football much more seriously than Americans; pubs routinely disallow entry if prospective patrons are wearing any football affiliations to avoid confrontations

- Europeans are much friendlier than New Yorkers; they actually randomly introduce themselves to me, although cheek kissing still freaks me out

- American English is so boring; it's fun hearing all sorts of accents in the London office, even swearing like "ass" sound so elegant with an accent

- My wallet's mis-sized; is it really that weird that we have a currency that's all the same color and same size? I can never fit the bigger bills!

- Attending international school and Stanford rocks; the world feels like a much smaller place when you have someone to visit almost everywhere you go
