Random Thoughts

Being in a country that doesn't speak English-well, doesn't have it on all their signs and information can be really tricky. I've wondered what it was like to not know a language, such as before you learned to read as a child. This is exactly how I feel here. I can look at a sign and study it all I want but there's no way I can read it. It's just interesting because when you can read and you look at a sign or something your mind automatically reads it, you can't help it. Here I focus on other things such as the scenery a bit more because my mind's not focused on subconsciously reading.

I will probably get my license around the time I get back home. i know this is a little late considering I'm already 18 bt it really makes me reflect on all the good and bad times I've had in the car with my parents. All these experiences would have never happened if my family lived in London and didn't own a car but took the subway instead. The privacy of your car is entirely different that the lack of privacy of a subway, and anyone is prone to being a bit more emotional in the privacy of a car. I was just thinking about how, or if, a family's relationships in London are different that that of ours at home due to the use of a subway instead of a car.
