London


It's a tough city to live in. It's a hard city to leave. London is the number one city in the world. It has somebody from every corner of the world. You hear a number of different languages on the bus or tube. It is a very densily crowded city, apparently the 4th most densily populated city in the world. But you can wandered down oxford street in a sea of people and be lonely. I have bumped into friends on the last two occasions against the odds!

All around there is history, reminders of times gone past. It is from ancient times, you can see a roman wall outside the london museum. And some of the buildings around are centaries old eg from Elizabethian period. But London is not behind the times it is modern and has everything for a modern life.I'm just thinking out loud because one of my good friends is leaving soon.

The other thing about London is you can feel like your life is on hold. Friends, and siblings back home are having children. Getting a house ect. And you are still sharing a house with 6 others, paying rent and not even owning a car. But on the plus side you get to party hard and not worry about responsibilities ie kids.
