Who says I ain't kulcherd?

We just got back from the Victoria and Albert Museum, which was pretty impressive. Major sections were closed for renovations, but what we say was great. I still can't get over how all the museums are free - I would kill to have that back in the States.
I guess it's no wonder why Brits think us Americans are uncultured. To them, museums are free and theater is cheap. But our government doesn't subsidize them, so most people can't afford to go. I think it's not that we don't have culture, it's that we don't value what British consider culture. We value other things, not necessarily inferior, just different. Still, it's nice that education takes such a high priority here.

Last night we were all taken out to dinner at a local pub, which was real nice. The drinks were on them too. I ordered Welsh Rarebit as an appetized, which I assumed meant rabbit, but it was actually cheese on toast. Still good. Salmon on mash for dinner, which was even better. And a nice bottle of Australian Chardonnay - see, it's not all binge drinking arond here.

Well, we've got class in an hour, and tongiht we're going to see a play called Blood Brothers. Til then, check out my photo album: Here!
