After a long and exciting day of traveling, I made it safely to London. It didn’t hit me that I was actually in here until I received the keys to my flat. After doing a little unpacking, my roommates and I went exploring on our first night. Since it was kind of late we only walked around the streets surrounding out flat in Clerkenwell, but that was all it took for me to realize how much I’m going to love living here for two weeks! The buildings in the city look so historic and beautiful. I already know I’m going to miss this amazing scenery when it’s time for me to head back Ohio.
One of the first things I noticed (and one of my favorite things) about London is how culturally diverse it is. It seems like people from all over the world live and work in the city. I suppose I was only expecting to hear British accents while walking down the streets, but I was pleasantly surprised to find so many different people living here. I also noticed how friendly everybody is!

Surprisingly, I didn’t find it that odd seeing people drive on the wrong side of the road; however, I’m still not used to looking to my right instead of my left for oncoming traffic when crossing the street, which makes for some heart stopping moments.
I can’t wait to continue exploring London!
