Only in England people think it's cool to wear sneakers with a suit.

Only in England a late model Mini Cooper is the car of choice for the Fire Department, charter companies and God knows what else.

Only in England will you find a sushi bar next to a strip club - or as the locals call it, a 'gentleman's club'.

Only in England is a 'lovely day' considered to be any day that it doesn't rain.

Seems to be a very fit country though; most persons seem to be in decent shape and at all times of the day, from early morning to midday and late night, lots of folks can be seen jogging and cycling on a regular basis.

On a serious note, we're beginning to enjoy the place more with each passing day, and as we continue to pile up the medals, the stay becomes increasingly pleasurable.

Congrats to Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on her 200m silver medal. What an Olympic the 'Pocket Rocket' is having!

VCB, we love you and know that things won't always go to plan. We know you'll bounce back.

Big congrats to Hansle Parchment. That came out of nowhere! Jamaica really enjoyed that bronze medal in the 110m hurdles.

Now on to another big race today.
