I'm currently host of my good friend Cristina and +her husband, in the small town of Llanon, near the city +of Aberystwyth. + +I asked for directions outside Birmingham: "I'm going to a place +whose name I can't even pronounce". "Sounds like Wales, then" +said the man I had stopped. + +Anyway, the place is nice. It would be much nicer if it stopped +damn raining, but, you know, this is the United Kingdom after all. + +This reminds me of a funny story: as usual, yesterday I drove +out of the parking without looking in the wrong direction. +This time, a car passed by cursing me with its horn. So I +finished my manover, of course going to on the right lane +by force of habit. + +At this point, the car in front of me stopped, and I noticed +it was strangely colored with yellow and orange stickers. +A uniform came out and at this point I realized it was a +policeman. + +He walked to my window, bearing a very serious face. +Finally, he told me: "don't you know how to drive? +You're supposed to stay on the *left*!" + +Promptly, I replied: "Err... Sorry... I'm used to +drive on the right, you know? It's my first time in *England*!" + +And the policeman, even more serious: "You mean in Wales, +don't you?". He'd probably close an eye for driving on the +left, but not for calling his homeland England!!! :-) + +Well, driving on the left is a pleasant experience. +And it's not even as hard as I thought: anybody not too much +attached to their lives should give it a try! + === Sun, 8th === ==== Trip to Europe ====
