When I was in New York, fellow room mate happend to talk me, he asked me ' by the way, have you ever thought to settle in US'? I found him a sort of wel-coming to US. While in UK, everyone asks, ' When are you returning to Nepal for Good?' means ' why do not you go back to your country?'

drinking in pubs is way of life in uk, it's common to have pint of beer in breaks/lunch times while you will be dismissal in US

trousers .... or paints !

My girlfriend's mates came from California long way to London. We were in a Party. One of her American friend Tracy spilled her drink ,' ouch, my paint is wet' . Cathy's parents and other british mates got chocked ! Coz british do not say paints ..it is trouser! they learnt as if her knickers/underwear get wet ! ..........

American call it a diper. i dont know what does that signify but british call nappy because after wearing a nappy a baby becomes happy and takes a nap.

rubber or condom !!
Mrs Louis made us laugh .. telling us what happend the other day .. she came to work in London form New York in another branch office in London. One day at her work the general manager(Redmond) came to her desk and asked for a rubbber ... ( he means eraser) she thought he was asking for a condom, she replied ' sorry i do not keep rubber with me' ........... ... !!!
