I just arrived in London and am sitting in my dorm room talking to my boyfriend on Skype. I have to admit giving him the "grand tour" via webcam was pretty disappointing, they definitely didn't exaggerate when they told me I had been assigned to a small room. It still hasn't completely hit me that I am so far from home, I barely noticed we were driving on the opposite side of the road on my trip from the airport. (But I did figure it out quickly when I realized that cars were coming from the opposite direction than I was used to while crossing the street)
The first thing that I noticed was the mass quantities of modern buildings. I guess I had this idea in my head that everything in London would be old. I am just glad I wasn't completely wrong about the old part. I live in a quaint little picturesque neighborhood that couldn't fit my idea of London better. (Picture will be added later)
Can't say much else except for that grocery shopping is difficult when you don't have a car. Trust me...it was hard to resist that extra free six-pack of Diet Coke, but I just couldn't bring myself to carry anything heavy after dragging my 65 pound suitcase through London Heathrow.
