5 things that are most different in the UK

I realize I haven't posted in a while (been really busy, I promise!), but I thought I'd start off the blog spamming with a little list of things I find really weird and different in the UK.

1. the paper here is bigger than paper in the US--- notebook paper, printer paper, etc. etc.

2. light switches turn on the opposite way--- you have to push a light switch down to turn something on, rather than up
-also, plugs have switches to turn the electricity on

3. they don't refrigerate eggs in the grocery store--- I hope that this means they're farm fresh and arrived at the grocery store that day, but it still bothers me

4. even escalators are on the left--- not sure if I've mentioned this before, but EVERYTHING is on the left... cars, trains, escalators, walkways, etc. etc.
-interestingly enough, people don't escaleft--- they still stand on the right

AND THE NUMBER ONE THING!!! DRUM ROLL!!!

5. THEY HAVE SHRIMP-FLAVORING CHIPS! WTF?!?!?!?
-I really don't want to eat a bag of 'Prawn Cocktail Chips'. No thank you.
-they also have flavors like Mexican Chili and Cheddar & Onion. YUM?
