Walked though the British Museum, which is very impressive and free, though they nag you to donate.
Yesterday was part of a heatwave, but that means high 80's.

For some reason, real estate in Wales is considered undesirable
People don't seem to expect tips, but then service is not as good as in the US.
I haven't noticed anything Irish at all yet, no accents, no Irish flags or Irish pubs. They must be around somewhere.
Another oddity: when getting on the plane in SF, they knew who I was before I presented any ID. They did it via facial recognition, which was creepy.
Have fun, but I have zero interest in ever visiting Europe
Don't tip when you're in Europe or Canada.
Surprising number of security cameras everywhere.
I make it a habit to be a generous tipper. You can call me a stupid fool, I don't care. It's sort of a karma thing

They gave us a wooden knife to split it, and I noticed that the knife was made in Tuliszków, Poland. This is odd because that is my grandmother's native village, only about three thousand people.
big warehouse of worldwide stollen treasure.
It's actually Produced in China FOR British and Polish company.
I just don't like carrying cash. I lose it. Or spend it. Or both. I just hate fumbling around with it. But if someone digs it, do you. I just prefer credit and a tiny wallet. And pay it off of course.
