I watched the USA Ghana World Cup match last night. I was texting with friends and family back in the states during the game. We talked about the broadcasters and their accents. They sounded "northern" to me, so I guessed they were from the Liverpool area. Unbelievable that I guessed correctly, they were both from that area, guess I'm learning the local accents :)
I don't think I've mentioned how much "waving" people do while driving. There are many one lane roads where cars park in the road, so moving cars have to stop for each other and wave each other through. I think it might be 100% of the time that the other driver has politely waved to me to say "thank you", it's nice to see.
The car in front of me during rush hour had Ke$ha blasting over their radio. I'm a fan, so I thought that was cool. It caused to me turn on my radio a few minutes later. I think that's another sign of more and more comfort, if you can drive with music. Did you know the BBC has several channels here? I think it's at least 5 and it might be more. Each one has a different genre, eg talk, rock, classical, etc.
It seems as though my daily deluge of learning is slightly slowing down. Don't get me wrong, I'm learning a lot every day, but 2 months in, I think I'm finding another level of comfort. I have to remember that my family is only a few weeks in, so they're definitely still in the daily deluge of learning. We had such a nice family dinner tonight and it's all beginning to settle in.
