UK - First Impressions
I was in London for the past 2 weeks and this being my first in London was definitely quite interesting. The weather wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but then again, I skipped the worst of winter. However, it snowed on the 3rd day that I was there, which was pretty cool
Since I was based in Amersham (which is just outside London), I only got one chance to go to Central London. Never have I seen so many people!! It’s just a massive place and so crowded. A huge change for someone living most of his life in the islands and then in Auckland. Quite exciting!
Accommodation is quite expensive in London. So is dining out. Fuel prices are almost ridiculous. Groceries on the hand are cheap, and so is public transport. I’ll have to actually live to know how well it matches against NZ, but so far it seems to be all right depending on how you budget yourself.
I should be back in London by the end of April. Can’t wait!!
Update 2008-05-01: My trip has been postponed till a bit later due to work commitments but its all good…
Bro, you should take some photos. It’d be cool. Hope life is treating you well there?
