Trip to England (Day8)

There are many "to let" signs on the UK streets. Mommy wondered why there are so many toilets in Britain and all these words are missing an "i". :-) It turns out "to let" is the British English for "For Rent" or "For Lease". Actually it is not as easy to find a toilet in Britain as to find a restroom in the US. It's impossible to find a "restroom" here, of course, but "toilet" or "WC" also takes some search.

A couple from the local church here came and took us to a very nice Thai restaurant. We got to know them through Jonothan and Sherry of the Olympia church who visited here before. We went to their church after dinner, but we were not able to get in: they didn't have the key and the young people inside were singing and drumming so loud that they just couldn't hear the door bell. We had to give up. Instead, we went to Manchester Union which is most famous football ( = US soccer ) stadium in England.
