Here I Am Too

Alright, I splitted this post into 2 because I wanted to change the atmosphere a little.

My trip to the UK, other than a tinge of sadness, has brought me a ton of surprises and new experiences.

First of all, I arrived a few days beforehand, so I went on a tour of London with my parents. Went to all the "touristy" places like Oxford Street, Chinatown, Big Ben, London Eye, etc. It was fun. For the first time, I got a feel of what a CITY should be like.

London is just bursting with life. Everyone doing their own thing. Expressing their thoughts. Its like a dynamic equilbrium. Everything seems to fit so nicely together yet everything is constantly moving. Its like fractals reproducing itself within itself with no apparent pattern but the resulting picture is nothing short of amazing. The arts scene is really developed and varied. There's no esplanades but what goes on inside the theatres are arguably way better.

Next, is my room. It's small.

But pleasant. My window just overlooks a garden across the street. First day in, unpacked all my stuff and thats it.

The Hall activities are great. We got took on a boat party where we cruised along River Thames, local tours and BBQs.

Of course, the most exciting factor is the people. I met people from all over the place. People from the UK, Thailand, Malaysia, Germany, Lithuania, Luxembourg. Funny people with different points of view. Different people with different ways of socialising and interacting.

Last but not least, something that you would see all over the place, BOOZE. My god, these people drink. There's beer all over the place. At the BBQ, on the boat party, in their rooms, etc. It's everywhere. That's not all. Different people have different drinking cultures.

There's too much to take in, too little time to do it, too little blog space, too little energy to write on...
