My first few days in London and the UK

My flight to London was not bad. Well I take that back, there are the landings that I truly hate with a passion. I stayed up the whole night before the flight in order to reduce Jet Lag and therefore I slept most the time while flying. Upon Landing I wanted to really pay attention to my first impression of the country. In one word my first impression was “professional”. This turned out to be true even as I have been here for a few days. I notice that everyone seems to dress up nicer. It maybe the fact of everyone is wearing a jacket but I really liked it. There was little (if any) hip-hop/ chain wear/ backwards hat type. Not even skater/ rock type, mostly just business casual or just below.



I must say that finding my way around at first was really hard but after I have done it for about 10 hours a day I have come to like London. I have been all over the place in all kinds of sections. Up and down random street and have actually been to only a few typical “tourist” type places (Such as the London bridge in the picture). Although there is way too many things I saw and did to write in this little detailed blog, I will mention a few.





The street art tour was just the neatest thing (see photos). I always thought graffiti and other things was just a bunch of gangs being idiots destroying property but it is so much more than that. It turns out millionaire artists write in the street and many started there. It is a pretty neat topic but I will not expand any more. I have a roommate who went with me and he is thinking of writing a blog on the topic. If he does I will comment a link.



The last thing I wanted to mention for this post was the play that I attended. It was called “We Will Rock You” and was a play about the classic rock band Queen. It was my first play (besides one-act play in high school but they said that did not count). I found, which was really neat, that although each character had a European accent each one was different from the other(must be from different parts of the UK). The play took an active concentration to figure them all out and to try and understand them all. Especially when they started calling each other a bloke (guy).
