It was my first weekend on my own in London. Not that I needed to relax, but I did anyway, and I rather liked it. My dorm room isn't the most cozy place to spend long periods of time, but at least it's my own and it's quiet.

I'm beginning to really like London, as I knew I would eventually. It's a lot like Chicago or any other big city, I suppose.
Here are some of the things I love:
being able to walk everywhere
great public transport, when walking isn't feasible
LOTS of coffee shops
great parks
free museums
old buildings
diverse people (I've heard so many other languages around here!)
the crowds--this can get old, but then I just go back to my dorm room!

Here are some of the things I don't like very much:
two separate faucets for hot and cold water (annoying!)
never getting enough to drink with a meal
lame TV shows
streets that run diagonally and go every which way so it's hard to figure out what direction
I'm going

I'm sure I could add to both of those list, and I probably will at some point, but those things just came to my mind at the moment.
