Farewell to London

Today was my final day in London. I can honestly say that I look forward to returning. Perhaps for a year or so in the future? It could be a fun adventure!

I thought that it would only be fitting to end London with a little list. A list of some things that I learned during my city-living.

-Lucky Buggers- There are no mosquitoes or June bugs in England

-Dapper Lads- The men are always in suits. I need to move here asap.

-Underdressed- I am constantly underdressed. The women are fashionable and dressed to the nines all day every day.

-Driving is an art- not a controlled and deliberate art like Davinci, though; it’s more of an uncontrolled Van Gogh. For them, lines are suggestions- I’ll be surprised if I make it home in one piece ;)

-Crossing the road is the equivalent to a death wish. You have been warned.

-Bartering is essential- Master it and you will save ridiculous amounts of money

-Shop around- when in areas like Camden, don’t just buy the first thing you see. Most of the shops have the same items and chances are that you will find what you want cheaper down the way. Prime example: I bought underwear for 2.99 whereas the first guy wanted 6.99!!

-Clubbing- go big or go home. I went home ;)

-Toilets- expect a pay-per-pee fee in many toilets

These were just a few things I learned in London, but there are many more!

I will leave you with this :)
