You know you have been studying abroad in the UK for a while when... (part I)

1. One out of 4 words you hear in the streets is "fuck" or "fucking". [Y]

2. You have tried the symbol of British food, a breaded piece of fish with fries and they call it "fish & chips". [N, ainda!]

3. You see semi-naked girls in the streets and boys wearing t-shirts with temperatures below zero. [Y]

4. 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. [N, e n quero ver, a chuva chega-me bem!]

5. You have travelled to London just for 1 pound with a fun fare, and you love it. [Y/N, viajei com uma fun-fare por 6£, os lugares de 1£ já tavam todos reservados...ainda assim, tendo em conta q a viagem normal, de expresso! era quase 40£, adorei à mma!]

6. You wake up every morning knowing that it's quite unlikely that you're going to see the sun.[Y]

13. You have learned the difference between pasty and pastry and you've tried a Cornish Pasty. [N, já provei o cornish pasty...nd de especial, mas pastry ainda n consta no meu dicionário]

14. You see people wearing flipflops and shorts even though it's raining. [Y]

15. You've said "cheers mate" more than twice. [N, realmente...tá a falhar!]

22. After a failed conversation with someone in the street you wonder whether he/she was speaking in Scottish, Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Irish or English. [N]

23. You see Tesco as an important social meeting point. [N, not really...longe, longe da mha casa, mas é sem dúvida um símbolo! lol ]

24. You have struggled trying to convert from Farenhait to Celcius, from Miles to Kilometers and from Pounds to Euros, but you know a pint is 0.56 litres. [Y, so so true!!!]
