In London

Yesterday, I woke up and ate cereal. My host dad then drove me to the closest train station. After being grilled by immigration, I took an escalator to my platform. I boarded the train a few minuites later and, after about 90 minuites, I arrived in London. 

Just like that, I went to an entirely different country. And, with the time change, it took under half an hour.

Here, they speak English. Not only that, but they speak it quite beautifuly.

At the station my friend Claire came and met me with her friend Danielle. They are arguably the most welcoming people I've ever encountered.

With the direction of the two, we took a power tour of London- including but not limited to:

Lunch at a cute cafe

Ritsy neighborhoods

The London Eye

Big Ben

Buckingham Palace

Harrod's (which we got lost in)

Tea time at Liberties

Coffe at south bank

The Love Festival

The V&A Museum

Pickadilly Circus

Everything was so fun and so happy. 

I'm staying until Thursday at the house of Claire's family, my close family friends. It's about 90 minuites from London, in Bristol.

As much as I love living with strangers, it's quite nice to live with someone who knows you.

Also, people here really do drive on the left.
