You know you've been studying abroad in the UK for a while when...
-You are shocked to see that the Uni is closed, city is collapsed and people stranded if streets are covered with more that 5 cm of snow.
-You wake up every morning knowing that it's quite unlikely that you're going to see the sun.
-You realize that dinner time is 6pm.
-You see people wearing flipflops and shorts even though it's raining.
-You've said "cheers mate" more than twice.
-You realize the most important religion is not Christianity but Rugby.
-You hear and say "sorry" at least 10 times a day.
-You've thought more than ten times that the car you have just seen was driven by nobody.
-You're outside and don't even notice it's raining anymore, because it is just simply normal to you by now.
-You realise that any kind of food can be eaten with anything else, no matter how wierd the combination is.
-You have six months of holidays in a year.
-In case you need to get your hands clean, you realise that you only have two options: boil your hands in water near to 90º or see how they become two beauty ice-cubes.
-You see potatoes everywhere, in all different forms and shapes, i.e. boiled potatoes, jacked potatoes, smashed potatoes, chips, crisps, etc.
-You learn that 4 cups of tea per day is good for you.
-You have stopped questioning why there are carpets even in the bathrooms.
-You find yourself breaking into an english accent when trying to order a cuppa tea.
-You see daffodils growing EVERYwhere, all year round.
-You see all four seasons in one day. first sun (oh blessed sun!), then rain, then snow, then hail. and sun, and rain, then...aaaah!
-"hello/hey, how are you?" is replaced by "you alright?"
-You discover that a simple ticket of the train can vary from a price of 8£ to 30£.. for the same train, time and journey.
-You realize that you have never seen an English Restaurant.
-Your umbrellas have got broken at least twice and you are still hoping not to break the new one even if it's May!
-You realize that you can get decent (dark, rye, healthy) bread in every European country except for the UK...and no, Toast is not considered a proper kind of bread.....
-You realize that every product you buy "may contain trace of nuts".
-You are certainly annoyed by their stupid sockets.
-You wake up every morning knowing that it's quite unlikely that you're going to see the sun.

Kan man faktisk bli vant til teppe på badet? Trodde ikke det var mulig a bli vant til jeg...
