Two weeks ago (I can’t believe it has already been two weeks!), I went to England—a trip that has been years in the making. And it truly was a dream come true, as corny as it sounds. I loved every minute of it (too bad I only had four days to spend there) and even though I knew a lot about the country, it still took my breath away.

The landscape is absolutely dreamy (as anyone probably will tell you) and the countryside outlandishly beautiful. As soon as you step off the plane, you are emerged in the British language and culture (and surprisingly, my own British came back to me instantly). And although the Brits themselves can be slightly aloof, the people seem very nice in general.

Contrary to the popular belief, English food really is pretty tasty. And if you’re not up to tasting the British specialties, there are plenty of international cuisines to choose from. And of course, one cannot forget about the never-ending pubs that dominate any English town or village. There was one that stuck in my mind because it was quite unusual. The pub was located in the remnants of an old church and it had this unique feel (and smell) to it. Now, that’s an idea!

And of course the best place for the taste of the best night life is London. So many things to offer, one would actually have to have days to spend in London itself just to be able to sample it all. And since I was actually visiting a friend living about two hours away, I only had a day to spend in this world-famous city. So if anyone tells you that you cannot have the London experience in a day, you can. Trust me. This was London in a pill but at least I got to see and experience the best parts of it. And I will definitely come back. One day…

A few days ago someone accused me of copying an article on my other blog (ecogreentips.com; for those that may be interested).

First, it sort of surprised me and so I followed the link (how nice of them to live me the link to check it out) and I found the article to be quite similar, yes. It even had the exact same title! However, after skimming through it, I realized that even though it does touch upon the same issues and brings forth the same information, it is not the copy of my article nor is my article the copy of it. And such realization pissed me off.

Why, you may wonder… Well, I was angry at the person for posting such an idiotic comment. First of all, one needs to realize that internet is basically for sharing and you cannot prevent people from using the information they find (unless you copyright it, that is). In this respect, more often that I would like, the information one posts is pretty much for everyone out there and if someone decides to use it, it is hardly copying. Besides, certain fields have only so much information available and it is bound to happen that one will find many articles about pretty much the same thing.

And event though I rose above it (or did I?), it leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth (so to speak)…
