Hello Mom & Dad,
Today we went sightseeing. We explored,
according to us and our very sore legs, the whole of London. ;)
We started the day off hitting the park
(Holland Park). Led by another group of students we encountered a lot
of stuff fx a peacock, but what stood out to us was a Japanese garden
– the Kyoto garden. It had this atmosphere of harmony surrounding
it. Creating this atmosphere was a waterfall with multiple levels and
beneath it were Koi fish – a traditional beautiful asian fish.
Listing and describing every single
place, that we went to would be too trivial to read so what we're
going to do is focus on a subject, that's a bit wider: The kindness
that locals show foreigners.
Since we were complete strangers to
London we had to ask for directions all of the time and everytime
there was someone who would politely tell us which direction and
sometimes even which line and/or route we had to take to reach to our
destination. The only place we met unsatisfatied locals was Trafalgar
Square, where a lot of Galatasary (Football Club) fans were singing
and just being very noisy in general. The oldsters weren't pleased
but then again, when are they ever? ;)
Cheers - hitting the local!
