I’ve lived in London for almost four years.  And every day I feel like I’m becoming more and more ‘British’.  I’ll never fully be there, especially working in such an American environment, but I’ll definitely keep picking up bits and bobs of the culture, etc. 

One such example is about the weather.  It’s been quite gorgeous for over a week.  Normally while living in the US I would be thrilled…and thinking, yup, spring has come and summer is on its way.  But here…I just wonder when it’s going to start raining again.  I feel a bit of anxiety that it’s still sunny and warm.  It’s weird.  And other people feel it too.

Another example are the words I use…or at least the pronounciations.  They are slowly becoming more and more British english than American english.  And I forget the American equivalents sometimes.  Like, what is clingfilm?  Oh yeah…saran-wrap.

And then there is that understanding and even playing cricket.  We have our first offical game today.  In the warm sun.  And I’m looking forward to it.  So very cool.

I guess the next thing in line will be to get my citizenship…which will happen in two years.
