Hi guys,
Sorry for my late post, I’ve been all over the world so far I’ve been to Portugal in this little city call Porto this is where they make this dessert wine known as Porto and apparently its supposed to be one of Napoleon’s favorite wine. I also went to Italy and Spain, So far Spain is my favorite because its culture is simply amazing and all those tapas are delicious.
however, I want to write about my highlights about London. things I did not know about London but now I do isn’t that what study abroad is all about? YES learning learning from history to fashion and all.
- LONDON IS A DIVERSE CITY. YES, I thought I would meet lot of British people but I was wrong. here in London there are so many people from different parts of the world, a very small percentage of people are 100% British. there are lots of international people and there are everywhere from your local pub to the touristic areas. for instances, there are small neighborhoods and each neighborhood its known for its own culture and food, for example: Brick Lane is full of Middle Eastern people since the 19th century its known to have the best curry around the world. but hey! lets not forget that this is absolutely a plus for us because we can get to try all different types of food. I serious here! I’ve try so many different food from across the world, best curry, best Peking duck, best morrocan food, and lets not forget the German food!! all AMAZING!
- LONDON CAN BE EXPENSIVE HOWEVER YOU CAN TRICK THIS YES, before coming here all my friends used to tell me save some money London is extremely expensive especially because the pound is worth around $1.40. however guys!! London does not have to be expensive at all. Since you have so many markets where you can find really delicious food for only $5 pounds. YES! the other day I went to Borough Market which is downtown, and I found this small cheese stand where you can get raclette which its normal price would be around $15 pounds if you go to a restaurant. but hey! it was only $6 pounds so YEAH go out and explore the hidden places where you find amazing food at cheap prices instead of going to the restaurants around the touristic places.
- BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETING I am dead serious about this. NOT JOKE! London’s biggest crime happens to be pickpocketing and not only on the famous streets it could be anywhere. bad people are everywhere so always ALWAYS keep your stuff around you and do not leave your stuff unattended. they will steal anything they can from your camera to your Oyster card.
This is all for today! stay tuned for my crazy adventures!
