London Eye Love You

Reunited with Mush!
Our first meal in London: Nando's. It was amazing.
I loved Tate Modern.
True.
♡ Surrealism 
Peek-a-boo.
Selfie twime.
"You heartless bitch."
Teehee.
A cool wall in Portobello Market.
Fancy hat fit for a fancy gal.
I regret not getting this ring.
Portobello Market's den.
The inside of the den.
Getting silly at a bar.
English breakfast. Yum!
"MOVE MUSH YOU'RE IN MY PIC"
Mia and I thought double deckers were tour buses.
How to spot an Asian. 
Hampstead Heath's very own swan.
Stairway to heaven.
Found this ol' log at the top of the stairs.
The letter came 8 years too late.
Why does Ginny's look the coolest?
Buckingham palace.
The Big Ben.
The London Eye.
Thank you Mush for taking me to the Hillsong Church! It was unforgettable.
Indian food at Dishoom. Probably the best meal I had while I was here.
Can't go to England and not try fish and chips! (It was mediocre) 
The original Rosetta stone in the British Museum.
Our bougie afternoon tea. 
These cuties at the Camden Lock Market.
The original lyrics to "Yesterday" in the British Library.
Shake Shack! Of course not as good as In N' Out, but still really good.
Abbey Road. (We look silly but it's actually harder than it looks!)
Goodbye, London.


London was incredible. First of all, it felt really good to be able to talk to strangers in English again. Although, some people's accents were really thick and I found it weird that I couldn't comprehend them even though they were still speaking English! The lingo here is definitely interesting. There was one night where Mush's dormmates were quizzing us on all these English slant and there were so much that we didn't know! But it was weird that they knew all of our slang. Maybe it's because American culture is more well-known globally. I can't remember most of the words they taught us but I do recollect there being a lot of phrases with the word "piss" in it.
Oh man, we did so much here. We made a list of all the things that we wanted to do and I'm pretty sure we crossed off everything on that list. A lot of the things on that list came from Mush and if it weren't for her, we would have probably done more touristy things. Thanks Mush! Oh and even though you made me sleep on the floor, I am still grateful that you offered your humble (dorm room) abode to me 
Even though London was super cher, that's not what I'm going to remember when I look back. I'm going to remember how a scary man was giving Mia and me directions and we thought he was wrong so we asked someone else and then he came out of nowhere and yelled at us for not listening to him. Or how the first time I saw Mush, she greeted me with a scowl on her face and a diva attitude but I didn't care because I was just so happy to see her. Or how taken aback Mia and I were when we first went into Topshop and Primark. Or how I accidentally bought a $8 bottle of water at our bougie afternoon tea. Or the great times I had hanging out with old and new (at the time) friends.


La culture entre Londres et Lyon était très différente. Je pense que les gens de le Londres sont un peu un mélangé de les américaines et les françaises. Ils sont fort comme les américaines mais ils ont la culture de le français. Probablement parce que ils sont européens. J'adore Londres et si je peux (si j'ai assez de l'argent) je voudrais habiter là.
