Study Abroad: Central London

In her own little world.

Central London is so different from anywhere I have ever visited/seen on google.  I am talking about CENTRAL London, not just London in general.  The heart of London is just honestly jam-packed with every single store, restaurant, and market you could ever dream of and it goes on for miles and miles… but when you take a step outside of the bubble, you just enter suburbia.  Even though I have always told myself that I could not live in a city, I think I could definetly live in London for a couple of years.  I know it’s so expensive, but it is so neat how anything you need/could want to do is right there and new markets and stores pop up in fun places year round.  Anyway, here are just some snapshots of a bunch of touristy things from my visit.

The London Eye.  I did not ride the ferris wheel because it was expensive.

These birds are hilarious.

The queen did not want to say hello.

Chinatown is the coolest place in London.  It is so different than the Chinatown in NY (it is a bit cramped, dirty, and grimy there).  This one however, is so colorful, clean, and fun.  (So many great places to eat here)

Indoor restaurant area with cool lights and stores.

London is such a nice place, even at night.

I had a really great time visiting this city.  So great that I actually made a second trip (when Jen came from California).  This post is actually really late, but better late than never I guess.

 

Peace,

Rachel
