Toilets
29Oct08
In London, restrooms/bathrooms are called toilets so you ask “where is the toilet?”
Also, elevators are called lifts. I know this because there is a little screen in front of them that has little flags for you to press to change languages. There’s a British flag and an American one and the only difference is “Lift” becomes “Elevator.”
And… it gets dark pretty early… like 5PM.
I bought a toothbrush for Oriana because she just learned how to brush her own teeth and will be so happy to have a new one to use. She can’t read yet, so don’t tell her and spoil the surprise!

Lies! Oriana left a comment on your previous post! :p
Anyways, how’s your living/food situation there? Will you get to do some sight-seeing?
Glad to see some updates on your blog

Dude, Australia is so much cooler — they call pickup trucks “ute”s. What a country!

I believe the proper term is “loo.”
