Impressions

Hellohello,

I've officially been in London England for 4 days now. This city is amazing in every way and I'm glad that we decided to come for a longer period of time. There's never enough time to do all the exploring and adventuring that I want!

Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera --> laptop usb connector thing, so I can't post pictures...
But I WILL make a list:

1. Traffic is completely opposite to Canada... as in, people drive on the wrong side of the road! This makes crossing the street a bit of a challenge because I always look in the wrong direction. Silly.

2. Everything is in ENGLISH! woohoo! It makes life so much easier... in comparison to deciphering Danish signs and labels and being confused and lost half the time.

3. The tube system is massive. You can get to and from places so easily by using the MANY different lines.

4. There are security cameras literally EVERYWHERE. Up and down streets, traffic lights, in the tube system, on the buses, in the grocery stores, in the handwashing area of the public toilets... you name it. Basically, if you're in a public place, you can assume that you are being taped.

5. Living here is even more expensive than Copenhagen.

6. London seems to be really big on markets. There's markets everywhere. I quite enjoy looking up and down the aisles and exploring the different stalls of goodies. You can really put your haggling skills to good use.



Yeah... that's all I got for now. Actually, I'm a bit tired right now. Living abroad and traveling can be a bit overwhelming because you're constantly meeting new people and absorbing so much new culture and information. Of course, it's exciting.... but sometimes, I just want to see a familiar face or feel at home. You know what I mean?
