I be a London-er.

After all these years of being grown up in England never have I ACTUALLY experienced the London life, up until this day. I have stepped foot in London before but I don't think going to Southall in London would count since my mother is the one who demands these trips on a yearly basis and buys Asian clothes for my older sister. Me? I have no use there whatsoever.
Now, going to London was really for business not actually pleasure but since I arrived a day early I decided to do some sight seeing.
I was given an Oyster card (a card for transportation?) and BOY! Those things are amazing, how can any other city function better without them? Living in my home town is a nightmare with transportation but over in London? BEEP your in (obviously you need to top-up in advance). I took the underground tube station for the first time which was exciting for me.. besides the fact that some chinese guy (I love da chinese people) was staring at me, making the first tube ride a little comfortable since I had no idea where I could look.
So I made it after 2 rides and arrived at the tower of London, it was great but holy cow, the drinks there were expensive, almost £2 for a small bottle of drink. But I was thirsty. :(
Yes so, the bridge was blue, pretty blue.
The sad thing was, I went alone, I had no-one to go with, making the whole journey so dry and boring.
Like I mentioned, the trip was purely business, and the people I was living with were working so I went to the capital city, ALONE. 
After, I made to to the whole Big Ben, Oxford Street, Picadilly shin dig.
And finally, I WENT TO GO VISIT THE QUEEN. (You should of seen the grin on my face)
Actually like any normal citizen, her house. It was pretty. Big.
After the whole sight seeing like any other tourist, I went back home.
But got lost.

From all the travelling, it made my passion for travelling abroad even stronger.
I'll just remember to take someone with me, next time.
Want to go together? Hop along.
