Becoming British

4 07 2006

I would like to credit three years of living in Japan to indoctrinating me into British culture. Thanks for English colleagues, I’ve picked up lingo, euphamisms, proper tea etiquitte, a liking for football, and exposure to Wimbledon.

I’m now determined to:

- Brush up on my grammar (including American & British English spellings of words).

- Learn more about tea consumation and interactions.

- Understand football, and find a team worthy of supporting. I don’t want to jump on a bandwagon or anything.

- Watch the next World Cup in England in a pub with Guiness and some friends.

- Eat sandwiches, drink Pimms, and watch Wimbledon (preferably at the All England Club).

- Not too sure about Cricket, but I would love to just listen to the commentary (as I’ve been reassured that it ‘very British’ and amusing).

- Doubt it would happen, but see the locations where Harry Potter was taped. Not that it would make me more British, I just want to go.
