i met an english man at the park today.

in london you buy a ticket for park chairs and you sit there, almost however long you want. the others went shopping after lunch and i went to the park instead.

he must've thought i was a student here, and he asked me if i was reading the dictionary. i promptly told him otherwise. i was keeping my bible, actually.

so we started our conversation. on the weather, on religion, his work, on school, WWII, earls, dukes, travelling, British history and the like.

i haven't had the chance to really talk to anyone from London that personally yet so it was fun.

we went for dinner, a walk away from the park, and had fish and chips. and then to the underground, all the way to his station at south kensington where we parted ways.
