The thing that has been occupying my mind the most is housing. It’s really not the first priority (that would be getting visas) but I’ve started spending ridiculous amounts of time combing through housing ads. Here are some things British housing ads feature that Canadian ones generally do not:

A random 9 year old boy, in the women’s washroom, wiped his nose on my sleeve. Yep. I walked in, and he made a beeline straight for me. I thought for a second, am I in the wrong one? Nope, no urinals, he must be in the wrong one here. [...]
