10 Things I Have Learnt During Exchange in the UK

1) Chill
2) The word "high" is only used when intoxicated with drugs and is not used to describe a person under the influence of alcohol
3) Cafe NERO makes STARBUCKS taste bad (especially their Soy Chai Lattes)
4) There is more to life than Architecture and work
5) It is easier to make friends when drunk
6) When a Kuai Lo says something is "spicy", do not believe him (there are exceptions*)
7) To enjoy your exchange experience, do not try to convert British Pounds/ Euros back to your own currency, it will only make shopping depressing
8) Having a camera (eg. DIANA+) with no flash in the UK, with its grey skies, is as useless as trying to make tea with a waterproof teabag
9) Alcohol tolerance can increase with practice
10) I am really not that strange
*Westaby is an exception
