The Language Barrier

Do you wear a boot or haul things in it? Why does a potato need a jacket? Why does a courgette taste like a zucchini? What do fridge freezers have to do with old men? And is my apartment really flat? Seems fine to me, just a bit quaint. Anyways, this is our first post and we promise to write more later and put up more pictures and the whole works. We may even answer some of these questions, though I'm guessing you can get most of them, maybe not the fridge freezer/old man one, but most. Along those same lines, we've named this blog "Mind the Gap" because that's what you always hear getting on and off of the subway (a.k.a. tube or underground) and, well, because we're a good bit away from all of you back home. Hopefully, this will be one means of making us all a bit closer.
