In fact, wonderful blog! ...Great post there, chap. In fact, wonderful blog! As a displaced yank living in London and a fellow geographer/cartographer/world traveler, I can relate to your experience. Probably one of the great experiences of the UK is the pub culture. I truly love walking into a pub and engaging all kinds of conversation with locals. Whether it be about football, british gangster movies, WWII, American life, or global politics every single time is a story that I can remember. In fact, just two nights ago, I stopped by this little countryside pub for a quick pint or two and had a great conversation with this old bloke. I mentioned how one of my favorite English villages was Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, and the gentleman happened to be from that area of the coast. This spurred into a long evening of discussion of all kinds of crazy talk, not to mention more pints. I know I'll be back and I know he'll remember me when I do. As a world traveler and geographer, I always try to immerse myself in the local social setting. Whether it be sitting down for hours drinking tea with a carpet salesman in Peshawar, haggling with fishmonger in the fishmarkets of Jakarta, or sipping pints of real ale in a pub in London you will always come away with the most valuable cultural experience and usually a fantastic story! <br /><br />Keep up the great blog! If you ever stop thru the jolly ol London, I'd love to grab a ship in full sail and chew the fat. Cheers.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817093277946312050noreply@blogger.com
