Thoughts on My First Day Across the Pond

Here is a short summary of some of the stuff that has happened during the trip/upon arrival:

British people are not very nice, carrying my luggage up four flights of tight stairs in the tube was horrible, I am physically exhausted but extremely excited, what in the world is a busker? (I know now...do you?), Cadbury vending machines will be in my Heaven, finding a friend from the trip at the airport was super cool, buying my first tube ticket= awesome, hearing the words "Please mind the gap" made me giggle with excitement, missing getting off the tube because I couldn't get my luggage through the aisle and watching Emily wave goodbye on the stop I needed was the worst feeling in the world, wandering through the streets of Kensington is exhilarating, but then falling asleep while walking in London is dangerous (especially on busy streets), a bloody and broken toenail from heavy luggage, and succumbing to a nap in desperation.

 I will post pictures later. I am not sure if I can do that in the Centre without pulling down on the wireless too much.

Ciao for now!

  1. Ha! Busker is what my dad calls the guys in Seattle that play their instruments and act and stuff. I guess the proper term is street performer... Is it the same in London?
