1. As I see in the pictures, you’ve had luck with the weather. England is known to have plenty of rain and cold days.

       • I love Prague as well. I stayed in the Casino (Marriott) downtown. It was the most amazing hotel I have ever stayed at!

3. Signs – One difference I appreciated was the politeness of the signs. Everything in the USA is in command form like ‘enter’ and ‘exit’ while there it is ‘the way in’ or ‘the way out’.
   One also has to love the free museums and government subsidized art in general.
   Those are not blurry/shaky pics – they are ‘action photos’. more exciting that way.

   • well in the words of my grandfather “are the English politer than Americans. No. Let me bundle all our rude people up and send them somewhere else and we can talk about how rude America is then!”

     • Yeah, politeness isn’t the right word, and maybe because I’m a rebel or something, it’s that the signs aren’t commands. They’re like suggestions – what is a word for that? I thought people were more cordial in other countries often; but, San Franciscans are a bit cold – they don’t think they are but I do.

       • It is, what it is. I do agree the signs are less command and more guidance in the UK.
