Bond...James Bond

This city exudes a true "posh" confidence rarely found in the States. From their fashion to their exaggerated way of articulating even the most mundane of words the city is quite divided. Be it pretentious or another way of defining the blue-blood culture that still exists here, it is easy to detect the overtone of a caste system that can be found lurking in the nightclubs, restaurants, and shops around certain boroughs...

It is quite entertaining to observe the way the English (note they are not just "British") interact with one another according to rank and tradition. I believe my Gap Year experience or "Gap Yah" as you will see below has roots in the "Toffee-nosed" culture. It may be one of those you had to be here things but its quite hilarious.

I hope this isn't what I sound like...
(note "chunderred" means puke)

In other news...This city has the most amazing collection of museums that are federally funded making them FREE. Imagine, a government investing in the arts to enlighten their society??? The Tate Modern was quite "brilliant" and the Andy Warhol room was "reeeally reeeally wicked!"
