Key boards

This post is quite random, but its something that I meant to post about a while ago. Coming to London, I was expecting a lot of differences: food, currency, accents, day to day lifestyles, etc. However, it did not occur to me that our computer keyboards would be so very different. Part of the keys are cut off in the picture below, so I added a layout I got from the internet to help you visualize! 

so the left-side shift key is the same size as the letter keys.
The left-side shift key is smaller then ours, its about the same size as the letters. Its more difficult to adjust to then you would think. The " " key and the @ key are switched. They have both a $ and £ sign. The enter sign is smaller because there is an extra key for the # next to the enter key. And the | and \ keys are on the opposite side of the keyboard. 

     


On a separate side note, I leave for Dublin on Wednesday so get excited for a nice blog post when I get back :)
