Let me just say that 1) I do love London and I am happy to be here, and 2) This is just a list of things that Americans should remember to appreciate.  I will make a list about London when I return to the states.  It's always easier to pick out the things you love once you don't have them anymore.

42. Hot/Cold adjustments on the faucets so you don't have to go back/forth 

quickly between the spouts

43. Free re-fills of drinks

44. Traditional western values

45. The large variety of gum flavors

47. How home and garden centers (i.e. Home Depot) smell steamy, floral, and 

dirty at the same time when they get in their spring plants

48. Fast-food drive through windows.... they're fun, right?

49. Our humongous grocery stores

50. Forever21 (last but not least)

Did I miss anything?

XOXO,
