Two and a half weeks in
Posted in London on September 30th, 2006It certainly doesn’t feel like it. The sheer amount of information, sights, sounds and smells makes it feel like a month, if not two. Talking to some people from school, I’ve found that I can actually give them tips on what buses or tubes to take. Didn’t expect that. In a way, I no longer feel a tourist, though I quite obviously am.
Another thing I didn’t expect was the weather. While I have become familiar with London rain (it not only falls from the sky but seems to envelop you from the ground up and the sides as well) it’s a great feeling to be walking in a t-shirt and jeans when it’s very nearly October. Last night’s thunder was different from Finnish thunder. It sounded just like it does in the movies, and I can’t figure out why it’s different here than in Finland. Sadly, I don’t remember what thunder sounded like elsewhere where I’ve lived.
Updates are still sporadic and pictures limited, as internet connections are a bit finicky. Still don’t have one at home.
