Welcome to The BIL

For ten weeks, I will be studying abroad in London, UK. This blog will report on my experiences living in a new city, nation and continent. Viewers be prepared for the BIL (Billy in London) Word/Saying of the Day, giving you a sample of the cornucopia that is British jargon. Stay tuned for the Holbert Report (not Colbert), a multi media presentation of the many attractions and activities the UK has to offer. So just sit back and enjoy the show!
