Not to be missed











If you're ever in London, slate in a visit to the zebra crossing on Abbey Road. Not because you want a hackneyed photo of you and three friends imitating the Beatles, but because it is wholly entertaining.

People stand at the sidewalk's edge waiting for the perfect shot, but passing cars assume they intend to cross, so stop. Some people feel guilty for this and proceed into the street nonchalantly, as if they were just some innocent commuter coming home from work, and not a traffic-blocking tourist.

You have to feel sorry for the people who live in the neighborhood.
