Fran, my sister&#8217;s future MIL, took us to a pub for dinner to indulge my UK cravings of bangers &#038; mash. Unfortunately they didn&#8217;t serve it anymore but I had a marvelous fish and chips with mushy peas. Perfect!</p>

<p>- All that space for the cats;<br />
- Having an oven;<br />
- The efficient post office;<br />
- Lawns that are suppose to be used.</p>
<p><strong>What I don&#8217;t miss:</strong></p>
<p>- The &#8220;Citi 5&#8243; bus (Bar Hill > Cambridge > Bar Hill);</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gifrancis/3953756984/" title="Bus by gifrancis, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2665/3953756984_e90aecd7a8.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Bus" /></a></p>
<p>- Having absolutely nothing to do on weekends;<br />
- Using the car;<br />
- Being 11 pounds (US) &#8211; 5 kilos &#8211; fatter;<br />
- The nanny state;<br />
- The idiotic mail carriers.</p>
<p>&#8212;<br />
<em>Em nenhuma ordem particular:</p>
<p>- Museus grátis;<br />
- A inexistência de burocracia nos serviços públicos;<br />
- Os supermercados Tesco e Sainsbury&#8217;s (Nunca mais comi vegetais&#8230;);<br />
- Amigos;<br />
- A minha irmã;<br />
- Hummus já feito;<br />
- Cappuccinos da cadeia de cafés Costa;<br />
- As farmácias Boots &#8211; têm tudo o que se possa imaginar;<br />
- A livraria Borders (entretanto fechou em todo o Reino Unido);<br />
- Chá a sério todas as manhãs;<br />
- O comboio para Londres;<br />
- <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gifrancis/sets/72157617823160173/">Londres</a>;<br />
- O Mac, o Milo e o Midge (os gatarrões dos vizinhos do lado: &hearts;, &hearts;, &hearts;!!);<br />
- Comida de pub;<br />
- A malga gigante de sopa e massa chinesa picante do Wagamama;<br />
- A loja de roupa TopShop;<br />
- Os mercados de Camden;<br />
- Todo aquele espaço onde os gatos podiam andar;<br />
- Ter um forno;<br />
- A eficiência dos correios;<br />
- Relvados que se podem usar.</p>
<p><strong>Do que não sinto falta:</strong></p>
<p>- Do autocarro &#8220;Citi 5&#8243; (Bar Hill > Cambridge > Bar Hill);<br />
- De não haver nada de jeito para fazer aos fins de semana;<br />
- De usar o carro;<br />
- De ter mais 5 kilos;<br />
- Do Estado ser como um paizinho;<br />
- Dos carteiros idiotas.<br />

<small>Moving is not very glamorous. <em>Mudar de casa não é muito glamoroso</em>.</small></div>
<p>We moved all in a little car. The cats occupied a lot of space in the back seat but we still managed to pack most of my clothes and shoes. I realized that I have too many stuff. </p>
<p>Next time we move I&#8217;ll use <a href="http://www.voovit.com/">Voovit</a>, for sure.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><em>A mudança foi toda feita no nosso pequeno carrinho. Os gatos ocupam muiio espaço nos bancos de trás mas conseguimos que coubesse a maioria da minha roupa e sapatos. Cheguei à conclusão que tenho coisas a mais.</p>
<p>Para a próxima é provável que usemos o <a href="http://www.voovit.com/">Voovit</a>.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gifrancis/3784909398/" title="Classy... by gifrancis, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3453/3784909398_9d6d17b6ec_o.jpg" width="600" height="600" alt="Classy..." /></a></div>
<p>5 things I dislike:</p>
<p>- The trash is collected only once every 15 days. If you miss that collection you are stuck with a bin full of trash and no room to put all of your new trash;</p>
<p>- The lack of care of the postman. I get postcards and photos on the mail and the postman always bends the envelopes. Gah!</p>
<p>- Some parts of the cities have hundreds of houses that look the same;</p>
<p>- The amount of crap we receive in the mailbox. Local newspaper, council newspaper, charity stuff, adds for everything, Avon catalogs, other catalogs and more&#8230; It fills the compost bin to the rim;</p>
<p>- Landlords have a thing with pets. If you have a pet it&#8217;s harder to get an apartment or a house. We tried to call lots of apartments and they all said &#8220;no pets&#8221;. Houses are easier because they don&#8217;t have the building comity making the rules. Some landlords also refuse to let to people with children, which makes me mad!</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><em>5 coisas que me desagradam:</p>
<p>- O lixo é recolhido de 15 em 15 dias. Temos um caixote para o lixo doméstico e um para o composto orgânico. Uma semana vêm recolher um dos caixotes e na outra o outro. Se falharmos a recolha do lixo ficamos com um caixote cheio de lixo mais 15 dias e nenhum lugar para por o lixo novo;</p>
<p>- A falta de cuidado do carteiro. Recebo muitas fotografias  e postais no correio e o carteiro faz questão de dobrar os envelopes. Gah!</p>
<p>- Todas as cidades têm áreas gigantescas de casas iguais;</p>
<p>- A quantidade de lixarada que nos enfiam pela ranhura do correio. São jornais da autarquia, jornalecos da aldeia local, pedidos de caridade, anúncios para tudo e mais alguma coisa, catálogos da Avon e de outras coisas que tal e muito mais&#8230; Enchemos o caixote de composto até a cima com papelada;</p>
<p>- Os senhorios têm problemas com animais de estimação. Se temos animais é muito mais difícil alugar uma casa. Em particular apartamentos, por causa do condomínio. Alguns senhorios também recusam o aluguer a pessoas com crianças o que me deixa fula!<br />
