If you have then can you help me please? Well basically Dom's got a friend in new jersey and they agreed to send eachother something for christmas, she's sending cd's dom can't get over here and loads of stuff you only get in amaerica but we're stuck on wat to send back, Dom knows what cd's he's getting her but has no idea about the english stuff. So if you've been to England can you please tell me something you had/saw over here that you can't get anywhere else.

Thank you xxx

gah all i know of is some of the weird candies or foods, christmas poppers. I was born in england, my mom visited in 2002 and she brought back tons of british candy and stuff. If i talk to my mom again sometime ill ask her, she usually gets online before she goes to work.

When I went to London in 8th grade, I looooved Punky Fish :] Wild clothes.
Other than that, I'm not sure. I remember a huge mall with an arcade, but I really don't remember a lot of other things.

I want to go to Germany! I really don't like the language (it sounds like people are hacking and spitting all over each other to me) but they have beauuuutiful castles in... umm... South Germany? Everything is so pretty there. Very Happy

Ooh, and Japan. I really want to visit Japan. France would be awesome, and I want to see Southampton, England to see where my mom grew up (even though we don't get along at all).
