Semester in London

I TOTALLY agree Gina! I taught at a school in northern London and they focused a TON on play! Almost all of the children attended after-school clubs, sports teams, etc. Even the primary kids!Also, adults do it too. I was in college, but it seemed like everyone one, from 20s-50s went out after work to socialize. This wasn't really even on weekends, like every night of the week. People I met that lived there were ALWAYS taking
weekend "holidays" to beaches, other countries, etc. The area I lived in, South Kensington (Madonna's kids went to school in the area), had some very high end jobs, like | |
fashion design firms, finance offices, etc. Those people partied ALL of the time. Then it was always back on the tube Monday morning, relaxing with a book and headphones.
I would say the European work ethic is A+. Not that I am "dogging" the US, but there was a big difference
