The author documents their experience traveling to London from their home country. They found that while the English language is spoken, the dialects and many sayings are unfamiliar. Clothing terms also differ, such as calling sweaters "jumpers" and sneakers "trainers". The author notes it took some adjustment to understand these cultural differences and to overcome jet lag from the five hour time difference. However, the author quickly felt at home in London and encourages traveling during college to expand one's perspectives.
