First Impressions

A random set of first impressions (not at all complete)

1. wealth (Heathrow's terminal 3's high end shops)

2. orderliness, structure and systems

3. fast and reliable internet (almost got a whiplash)

4. people's fast pace, anonymity and lack of smiles

5. comfortable and clean

6. understandable English spoken here (for the most part)

7. a lot closer to home though still a long way to go

8. news (what a joy to get the ink of the Globe and Mail on my hands even if it was yesterday's edition!)
