Moving to a new city where you don’t know anyone is a lot harden than they make it seem to be. As I read one of these articles, ( the ones from Facebook that you tend to browse on when your on your feed) I think it was\u00a0http:\/\/elitedaily.com\/life\/culture\/move-city-dont-know-soul\/615040\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My \u00a0day :<\/p>\n

Seriously? After wandering from train station to train station aimlessly for 3 hours is not the way I planned my day would go.<\/p>\n

Clearly the situation I got myself into was purely the fact that I am unprepared, not by choice or because I\u2019m lazy , those are just the consequence of events that my life fell into.<\/p>\n

For one, Sunday fun day here is more like stay-at-home Sunday… Where did all the Londoners go? \u00a0Every street was overpopulated yesterday?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starbucks, Pr\u00eat and other coffee shops where closed at every turn!\u00a0which leads me to my second “excuse” as off why I got lost<\/p>\n

I got a sim card for my phone a couple days ago and it says it is not a valid sim card? “( Are you sure sir because i paid for this)”
\nI went to the phone company but they told me to try leaving the sim card in for a couple of hours, but honestly I knew that it was not going to work.<\/p>\n

Why ? Because when I went to my carrier ( Metro piece of doodoo) he warned me, many times that their unlocked phones had these problems abroad.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0long story short I should have had a back up plan, but I didn\u2019t hence this whole situation could’ve been avoided if I had bought or brought a different phone<\/p>\n

And I should have mapped various routes, when I could’ve back at home especially since I knew I was going to have no internet service, but off course I relied on “offline” instructions on city mapper, which it erased when It thought I was done with it.<\/p>\n

My mom always said I thought I was superwoman. Which means that I don\u2019t want to rely on anyone for help, which I don\u2019t but at times like these I know it could\u2019ve been avoided or made easier if I would just ask for help more often.<\/p>\n

Any who, off course as the story of my life goes, I eventually figured out that I could\u2019ve easily took one tube to my internship site instead of taking a underground tour of London.<\/p>\n
