Cheers My London Love

Where does the time go? I swear it was just yesterday that I was flying into this beautiful city completely unaware of the adventure ahead of me. However, with all these riots going on, I'm a bit relieved to be heading out pretty soon. For my final hurrah post, I've decided to make a little list about the things I am going to miss about Britain and a list about what I'm excited for when I return to America.

Oh Britain, I will miss your...

• Public Parks full of people enjoying the sunny day
• Accents
• Fun playgrounds that don't have liability worries
• Free museums
• Student Discounts everywhere
• Mind the Gap reminders
• Tube rides
• Duvettes
• No sales tax
• Digestive/Hob nobs biscuts
• The Homeless men selling "The Big Issue" and not begging
• Bueno Bars and other delcious sweets
• Abundance of Indian and other foreign foods
• Markets
• Cathedrals and random ruins in the wheatfields
• Poppy fields
• Public pathways that cross through cow pastures
• Sheep!
• Having a Broadway musical opportunity any night of the week
• Clotted Cream and Lemon Curd
• Elderflower drinks
• Tradition
• Fish and Chips
• Rompers
• Incredibly tame dogs
• Delicious Yogurt
• Muelslie
• Crazy hats and headbands

Dear America, I am so excited for your...

• Abundance of trash cans
• drinking fountains
• Public restrooms that don't cost money
• Stores open after 5:00pm
• Wider variety of products
• Better customer service
• Cheaper everything!
• Eggs
• Real mexican food
• Driving a car
• Good tasting tap water and no weird looks when you order a glass of tap water in the resturants
• Less smoky atmosphere
• Toliets that flush completely
• French Toast
• Being loud
• Lemonade that isn't sprite

Transportation construction in the middle of the night and not the middle of the day


Thanks for joining me on my journey through Britain. I hope you at least enjoyed looking at the pictures. I am so excited to return to the States on Thursday just in time for my brother's wedding on Saturday. Nothing like a wedding to welcome you back home. I believe London will always have a special place in my heart. Hopefully, I'll find myself back in this city one day. Maybe I can take someone I love to tour these special places and London can become part of their heart as well. To all the Ladies and Gents out there - Cheers!
LAST BRITISH PHRASE - "Gobsmacked" = an expression of surprise
