5 Things I Love About London

5 Things I Love About London:

1. “You are here” – There are maps posted all over the city with red dots on them actually SHOWING you where you are. How great is that? How many times have you been in an unfamiliar city not knowing where you are? In London, you ALWAYS know where you are.

2. Double Decker buses – I love these buses. In London. What a novel idea; rather than overcrowded, sweaty, smelly buses, why not stack one on top of the other, cut down on the amount of buses in the streets and the fuel they burn, and double the people capacity. I love it!

3. Primark – Cheapest. Store. Ever.

4. Diversity – No Emily, the world is NOT made up of white people who eat pasties whilst walking down the street, REMEMBER??

5. Rolling garbage cans – In the train stations and airports, there is not ONE garbage (or bin) to be found. Apparently, this is for security purposes. Instead, you will find people dressed with orange jerseys that roll these bins around. So if you want to dispose of something, you have to chase these suckers down (if you are lucky enough to see one) and if not, well, I guess you are S-O-L[1].
