Welcome to the blog that I'm going to write in for the next three months. I've had no experience with blogs before so you're going to have to bear with me... but to get started :) I landed in London on Sept. 23rd, hit the ground running and haven't looked back since. That day carrying my two suitcases up and down the millions of steps of the London tube (underground) would have probably been (bloody) awful if it hadn't been for the fantastic Londoners who had a place in their conscience to help me... they rock.
Until then I was feeling a little nervous because on the plane I had been asked what type of drink I wanted:
Attendant (british): What would you like to drink?
Me: Water please
Attendant: Excuse me?
Me: Water would be great
Attendant: oh, you mean WAHter, right away miss...
Hmm... maybe this language barrier is going to be a little tougher than I thought. Yea so about that. But then I got to Michelles house in London and got to see her mom and her family and wait for about 30 min until Melissa came (her flight was behind mine). We took a quick jaunt through St. James Park where we met tons of geese and aggressive squirrels. Honestly, the squirrels in Yosemite would be seriously OWNED by these squirrels who ate nuts out of a man's hand. He had a hat on and there was a lake nearby with fallen leaves... so it was perfectly idyllic.
Then we went to Paris... oh, Paris. That's going to need a whole update in itself. But I actually have to go because we leave for Oxford in the morning! Oh the excitement :D More to come... Stay tuned pour mes adventures a Paris including but not limited to... Pig Alley, Versailles, and...clubbing?!?
Adieu
PS. a word that the English use quite often is "lovely". I find it quite charming and intend on doing the same. Have a lovely night then.

ReplyDeleteI will follow every word. Perhaps this might lead to a novel, a screenplay, wait, dare I say it, a TV Sitcom? Enjoy yourself and get in touch with Chloe when you are in London. If you need her contact info, let me know. I love you.
