10 Things You Learn From Living in London

1. Get a coin purse, or have something to hold coins in. I've never handled so many coins in my LIFE. 
2. Get an Oyster card for the buses and Tube. It's easy to load and it will make your life easier.
3. Learn how the self-checkouts work at Sainsburys and Tescos. 
4. You have an hour? Catch up on reading or write a paper. 
5. Learn to look right before crossing the street. 
6. You know how teachers used to make you diagram sentences in English? That's what the Tube map looks like. Learn how to read it. 
7. Always be prepared for rain. 
8. When the locals cross the road, you cross the road. 
9. Prets will save your life if you need a quick lunch or dinner before class. 
10. There is tourist crap EVERYWHERE.
