- The tube - better than Melbourne, but it's still crap. Line closure every weekend, strikes, random failures, delays...
- Fat people on the tube - the score shall remain at 2-0
- Getting to the Emirates and then back home - there has to be a better system... took me 2 hours to get to the game once and over an hour to get home. When I went to Camp Nou, a much bigger stadium (thus more people) and taking the metro took me 20 minutes door to door covering similar distances
- British people and Europeans, seriously you are not as good as you think you are, get over it!
- American tourists - rude and stupid, there are nice people and smart people but a lot of them are not. I still can't get over the white sauce bolognese questions in Italy
- Chinese groceries - the fact that I can't get everything I need at the same place
- The weather - dark and cold in the winter months. The fact that when it snows, sure it looks pretty but nothing works when it snows
- Black nose coming home everyday
- Crap food - apart from Dinings of course
- British TV - lots of channels but also a lot of crap

Top 10 things I will NOT miss about the UK
Again, not in any particular order:
Top 10 things I will miss about the UK
Not in any particular order...
- Arsenal FC and games at the Emirates - although recent performances have been very disappointing, losing to WBA, Newcastle, Spurs, and Braga... Seriously... Spurs? After leading 2-0 at half time... heartbreaking
- Weekend trips - back in Melbourne, where can I go for the weekend... Daiso?
- Dinings - I look back at those food photos and damn... truffle soy mmm...
- The tube because I know Melbourne public transport is even worse
- Hyde Park for running - it was so convenient
- Online shopping - Amazon is pretty awesome, back in Oz you are restricted to buying certain items on Amazon like books and CDs and other small items
- Paying by card at restaurants - as in splitting the bill with 10 cards if you and your friends feel like it
- Cheap and fast internet - Australia is still pretty expensive
- Going out - I heard people back home are boring! In London I guess people would come out and hang if they are free because everyone is in the same situation
- Football - no need to watch during stupid hours because I was in the right timezone!

Top 10 things I hate about London buses
- Bus drivers drive too fast and you end up falling if you don't hang on to anything.
- People who get on for 1 fricken stop, it's not that far, in fact you can sometimes see the next stop. Just walk dammit!
- Fat people, please see 9, it may help. Should they pay double or is it discrimination?
- Buses that don't stop even when there are heaps of space.
- Possibly due to the fact that some people don't move into the middle of the bus.
- People who insist on sitting next to you on the inside when there are heaps of other seats on the bus.
- Fat people who may crush you when the bus suddenly breaks and they could potentially fall on you.
- Buses that don't stop even when you press the stop button and you end up having to walk back from the next stop.
- Buses that don't come and when it does, 2-3 of them come at the same time. Thanks guys, stick to the timetable next time.
- Bus drivers changing shift mid way through the route, wtf is with that? They stop on the side of the road for 10min cos the new driver has to get ready. Can't you do that at the end stop?
Feel free to suggest more!
