A fairytale place

The UK may as well be a fairytale for the chances I'll ever get to visit.  My significant other refuses to travel outside of the US for reasons of having to make sure vaccines are to a T and the plane will probably be hijacked.

Anyhow off to my fairytale.


So the British isles include Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England.  The United Kingdom is simply the biggest island.

Weather: From what I have studied the weather is generally wet and cool.  Can you say perfect!  The heat makes me sick so this sounds so dreamy.  Anglophenia makes the comment that there aren't very many AC's because the weather doesn't require one.

School: Ok I have little ones so that makes thing difficult as is.  I homeschool for many reasons but several of those reasons are obscure in England.  No, separation between church and state helps with the shaky morals that are taught here.  School is much more academic based rather than a social click and sporting events.  Studies in later years are focused on desired vocation rather than continued basics.

Social life:   Several customs I've read about like, tipping only for good service.  Punctuality is very important where here people more or less don't care and are very disrespectful.  In general I find (at least in my readings and such) a large group of Americans to in general be much more childish than their counter parts over the pond.

There are also many things that are very odd and can't be explained just by reading or watching videos.  That's part of life I guess.  I think the change and challenge would be fun and worthwhile.
