You are so wrong it hurts. It's been like +35 for the last two weeks, and I can honestly say this is killing me.

They said it always rains here, that's why I agreed to move here.

I think it's a lie that it always rains there. I go there quite a bit for business and still need to see this whole "it always rains here" phenomenon. I do have to say, Seattle has the best food of any city I've been to in the US. One of my favorite city's in the US, period, actually.

Next time you are around, let's go for coffee.

x2 Seattle is my favorite US city. Every time I go, it's beautiful weather. I also enjoy rain though.

I was in the UK this past March and drove a 'hired' car with a manual. Shifting left-handed was less difficult than I expected, and I adapted quickly. Two other things I hadn't considered threw me off about driving a right hand drive car though. First, I found myself looking up to the right expecting the rear view mirror and finding the A pillar instead. Second, lane positioning felt odd since I'm used to lane markers being closer to my left side when driving.
