I have arrived.

I actually arrived a few weeks ago but have been settling in. I have pics, but not uploaded to my computer yet.

That is soooo super cool! I can't wait to hear more! It was not depressing, it was very funny. Or I'm just starved for something that is not completely law related. Possibly a combination. :p

You don't need insurance to see a doctor here, you just need to be able to pay. There are many doctors for people without insurance and the doctor I have now takes people without insurance if you can pay up front.

The UK health system has some serious flaws as well. When I studied abroad in London my friend needed an ambulance and it took 45 minutes to arrive because they don't have enough available. That wouldn't have been the case here. When we arrived at the doctor in London we had to wait another 2 hours. This wasn't because we were from the US either as they never even asked until the very end.

I think the US would do much better with a public health care system though.

In terms of food I remember being really frustrated at the lack of Mexican food in the UK. Actually had my mom mail me some black beans and made burritos one day :P
