Nein, just wear darker blue jeans. By blue jeans she means original, very light blue jeans.

Indeed, you can tell Americans by fanny packs and hawaian shirts.

[QUOTE=Dragon Master;24580265]A. Don't Stare at Cockney's
B. Don't be the stereotype American, even if your not american xD
C. If someone offers you a "Cuppa", accept it or you may get shanked.
D. DO NOT bad-mouth anyone
E. If you go to visit the Royal Guards don't be stupid around them, people say that they don't fight back but they are guarding the "Queen!", and wont think twice about kicking your ass. Its like going to the President's bodyguards and being a fucktard around them.
F. Make sure you don't mention "American Football".
G. Don't Fake a British accent, cuz it's annoying especially when Britian has about 50 different accents and calling one of them British is gonna start an arguement.
H. If a cockney says to you, Can I use your Dog 'n' Bone, He wants to use your phone.
I. Try Black Pudding, It's lush
J. Try Marmite
Just a few heads up.

Are you pretending to be from London, or do you have some sort of learning difficulty?
Demand your money back, London isn't worth 2k in any currency at any time period.
Don't conform to the big dumb American stereotype here.

P. If your in a Pub and your talking to the locals, remember to start the night with a good french joke, no I dont mean in french, I mean about the french. Instantly you will become friends with about 75% of the population of the UK.[/QUOTE]
Funny, when us Irish go to France we have to state either how much we hate the british or show that we're Irish y wearing an Irish jersey r sumthin
Seriously, as long as you don't be a stereotypical loudmouth then nobody will care since theres so many cultures in London anyway. The thing about the jeans isn't true either loads of people wear blue jeans here.
Hope you have fun :)

What about Zimbabwe dollars?

Don't go out at night or Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie will come out and attack you.
I went there once (also during a school excursion) and you don't really have to know much, as long as you behave and act normally. We were told to make sure that we don't get pickpocketed (my teacher said there were quite a lot of them, especially in busy areas) and that we don't talk with weird people, the usual thing.
Though I was in a restaurant and some old guy came to me and said 'Happy new year!' (it in may or april), tried to shake my hands (I made a small 'no thanks' gesture with my hands though) and went to other people and wished them a happy new year.

Don't say fanny a lot in England, here it means vagina.
we drive on the left

So does that mean the guy I saw with the shorts and cowboy hat was an Australian?

I'm sitting here in skinny black jeans on MSN with the queen sipping tea. If you want to fit in here, I advise you to do the same.
London sucks. Tell your teacher you'd like to go to a country that suits your needs as a heterosexual male better. I suggest Vietnam.
Been there once for 5 days. (2007 or something)
Took a lot of tours, did a lot of walking. Learned a lot to. Drank a shit load of coffee (Dad and I never sat no to drinking cup of coffee.) .
And yeah, you will look the wrong way every single time you want to cross a street.
Remember to bring a raincoat :P
[QUOTE=Dragon Master;24580265]wall of text including try marmite.[/QUOTE]
Marmite is even worse than the vegimite here in Australia, my advice is to stay away from it, sickness to the stomach is common with this.
It's a pity you are going there on a school trip. You won't get to do half the fun stuff you can do.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;24585127]By blue jeans she means original, very light blue jeans.[/QUOTE]
Which are hideous and should not be worn by anyone
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;24579862]i paid 2k for this trip so i don't want you guys fucking us when we there[/QUOTE]
You've been royally done over. What you should have done is told your teacher that you'd meet them there, you can fly, see London, get a hotel, and get a flight back for less than £ ($?) 2,000.
youll be in centeral london im guessing if youre going to the eye,so you'll be safe enough.just dont get a tube to hackney or staines.

its not best to converse with people like these.
Look out for some of Bankys work, especially along the embankment and surrounding areas.
