I have noticed that everyone here reminds me of someone. In some cases it is justified, some not even close. We were discussing how maybe we notice it more because we are searching for the familiar in an unfamiliar setting. I am not using the royal "we," I was actually talking about it with Shauna.
Shauna looks and talks a bit like Liz Greenbaum (Jason's call on the looks).
Mike reminds me of Levin sometimes- which might just be the Canadian accent sounding similar to Minnesota. How he says "Oooooohhhh."
Rebecka, a friend from Cornell, looks a little bit like Heidi from the nose down (which means not including the nose), and which also means I stare at her awkwardly sometimes.
Speaking of things being familiar, coming to London from New York I kept thinking, it's another big city and they speak English so how different will it be? The answer is VERY. I think that because I was downplaying the cultural adjustment it has been surprising me. The look, feel, and people are all very different. The architecture, for example. Things here are actually old. Oh and they drink. A lot. Like, way more than we do.
