This is a list of things Jen, Angie, and I have learned in Wales. I'm sure it will continue to grow!

1. There's nothing better than chips and cheese!
2. Cadbury Dairy Milk can fulfill all of your dietary needs
3. UK boys either smell really good or really bad
4. Everything in life can be ordered in pints and half pints
5. Northerns are crazy and Southerners aren't really Welsh
6. Old churches can be converted into sweet pubs
7. They will find a way to fry EVERYTHING!
8. Boys may not always be there for you, but Cadbury will!
9. It's not an ATM, it's a "cashpoint"
10. Apparently it's a bay and not the ocean. (It's salt water, ok...it's a bloody ocean!)
11. There's an excuse to party any hour of the day, and any day of the week.
12. Water and salad don't exist here.
13. "Chave" is the slang for a "local yob." (Wait, what's a local yob?)
14. It's all just funny-money here!
15. A stone is 14 pounds, so technically, I only weigh 9 stone!
16. Some crazy, drunk, Welsh men who have robbed banks at gunpoint and spent 11 years in prison are really nice!
17. Football is weaksauce compared to Rugby!
18. "Fancy dress" is really the term for a costume, so when it says "fancy dress party," don't wear a formal gown or you'll have to pretend you're a princess the whole night.
19. Stop trying to feed us beans with everything!
20. If you're really drunk, you're actually "proper on a mad one."
