Last but not least... there's a portion of interesting things and observations (which do not quite fit into previous two posts, so they are separate).
The weather starts to be really funny. I guess it's because a) the winter is coming, b) the sea is nearby, c) this is England, but last few days were unbelievable. Thursday was very warm, it was maybe 18 °C, really a pleasant day. There was a rain in the afternoon, but not too long and not too heavy, just a shower. Then, on Friday, it was, like, 6 °C, windy, raining, absolutely awful weather. Saturday was very similar to Friday, f. cold. And Sunday? Back to more than 15 °C, and sunshine.
Like, srsly?
The weather also really changes several times a day, and it changes a lot. We are not quite used to this, the changes are slower in the Czech Republic. If the day starts with sunshine, then most of the day the sun is shining, and if the clouds come, then they come slowly, and then last for some time. If the day starts with low grey clouds, it usually ends in the same or similar way. Etc.
Here in Manchester, it's different. The day can start with heavy rain. Few hours later, we have a full and very optimistic sunshine, Then another couple of hours later and we have heavy rain again. And the weather can do this, like 3-6x a day! What!
One of our friends has told us that part of here family comes from Ireland, and there were so many Marys that her grandmother was the only girl in the class who was not called Mary.
English people think that Americans speak 'wrong English'. Which is funny.
The fact that English men can wear suit and fleece/windstopper jacket was already mentioned. However, I have seen them wearing suits and backpacks, and they have apparently done so even when talking to clients! Very interesting!
I have forgotten to leave the bus on time for the first time. It was one of the days with the worst traffic, and I started to write emails on my phone, and it was dark and raining and the bus windows were all wet, and I just missed my station. Which was really funny, because there are some highways which one needs to cross to come back to our station. It was all very funny in the heavy rain and darkness.
