For the next few weeks, this blog will chronicle my many adventures in London, England. Get ready and get excited! Unfortunately, I haven’t sat down to do this until now and I’ve been here almost a week. Soooo. Here goes.
Oh! I’ve realized that London is a rather strange place with very interesting and confuddling sights. For this reason, I have chosen to include a daily segment for a series entitled “London, WHAT?” Enjoy.
Day 1
Arrive in London horribly jetlagged. It’s five hours ahead here and our flight left at 11pm Atlanta time. Oy. We ride a charter bus the hour or so to our flat, Endsleigh Court. It is in the Bloomsbury area of London. Very cute, right in the middle of everything. And then, we go searching for cell phones. And get terribly lost. George, our professor, abandons us frequently. But it is better this way because I am forced to learn the ways of the world. Nick is supposed to be my travel buddy, but he frequently loses me.
After finally purchasing 16 identical cell phones (Which is no small feat. The man working at the store about cried when he kindly asked "How many do you need?" and we answered "16."), we head to the aptly named London Pub for our first British meal. All but two ordered fish and chips. Classic. I would also like to point out that at this point I have no idea what day it is, what time it is, how long I have been awake, or when the last time I took a shower was.
LONDON, WHAT?
Dear, London. Your window displays look like they were designed by alien Disney loving cowboys. Again, WHAT?

Hahah! I love this. Hilarious. I'm so glad you had an amusing first week. The first couple of weeks in France I felt somewhat like a zombie, which wasn't helped by my host family drama. I love the alien Disney loving cowboys. <3
