So this week I have now been living in London for One Year. Craziness. Some thoughts about my time so far:
- I love living in Islington, it is buzzy and there are people and a park
- I like the bus better then the tube
- TV is really not very good here
- I like my local pub the Duke of Cambridge
- It is great that there is so much thai food options in the grocery store. I love green curry
- Going to the movies here is expensive 13.50!
- I like being able to go to the continent for weekend breaks
- The winter here SUCKS! the sun goes down at 3:30 it is terrible
- I am glad I found a car service that will take me to heathrow for 30 pounds
- I have a great farm share
- I find it weird that eggs are just sitting out - but I am getting used to it
- I HATE my shower it sucks to have to hold it over my head
- I am starting to say words like tube, brilliant, proper, sorted, etc
- Still no accent
- I miss my kitties
- I still feel sometimes that I am on vacation
- I get lost a lot still - but I think that is what makes this place fun
Things I still need to work on:
- Need to get to the gym WAY more often
- Possibly should buy a bike so I can get around better
- I need to go to the TATE more often
- I need to do more continent weekend breaks
- I should really try to see more of the UK then just London
Overall it has been a really hard year, but I think I am getting used to things here and I do love this city. It is hard not to.
