During my uni time in UK, one of my lecturers once quoted to me " Don't feel so bad about British, some of them might think they are great as they always relate themselves coming from Great Britain..." I wasn't sure what he was trying to tell, either some of them were actually confident ppl or snob... However, I personally don't like to generalize ppl. Certainly there are always a mix of nice, not so nice and bad ppl everywhere on this planet... Some of them are really nice folks... Though sometimes I can't really tell whether their remarks or compliments are really sincere or just for courtesy... On positive note, those are really encouraging... My British assessor is one of them... Maybe they are used to extreme word like 'very' instead of 'quite' by American... I guess, very good can just mean good...
Despite of once studied and worked in UK, I still felt excited when I had to travel there again. Last 2 weeks, I had a series of conference and meetings in Reading, which is just a 40 mins-drive away from London... My colleagues and I stayed in London @ 2 Hyde park square where it's just a 5 mins walk to a Hyde park and about 10 mins walk to Oxford st. Something that ppl normally can't resist is to shop in London... I had a nice retail therapy... :))
