We British also experience cultural misunderstandings (malententidos) for example , most people think that all British people are English, but that's not true. Great Britain is the name of an island (isla) containing three different countries: England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom (UK) also includes Northern Ireland. Only people from England are English. The inhabitants (habitantes) of these countries can be very different.
Everyone thinks that if you come to England you will need (necesitarás) an umbrella because it rains every day. Well, it can be warm and sunny a lot of the time. People also think that the British are cold and a bit serious - some of us are, but some of us like to party as well!
Anyway, I think that if we get to know each other's culture, we will see (veremos) our own cultures with different eyes.
