The END.



So I realized I never finished this blog! First of all here are the last of my pictures from my trip to Norway:

That trip was really fun by the way. It was with Nell on my last full weekend in London. I was thinking maybe I should have stayed in London for the last weekend, but when I got to Oslo I completely changed my mind! I really liked it! And it was really cheap as well! only 10 pounds roundtrip for the flights and we stayed for free at a couple's house. (using couchsurfing)!

So anyway, I have been thinking about all the things I learned in London.
When I left I never thought I would learn so much! When I went to the different tourist locations and sites I learned a lot of historical facts and when I traveled I learned a lot about the different countries.
But besides the historical stuff, here is a list of things I learned while in London:
1. Always carry an umbrella. Even if it's sunny, hot, and rain is not on the forecast!
2. The tube and bus system is efficient and effective. But watch out for the weekends! (under construction....)
3. Cars DO NOT STOP FOR PEOPLE! (give them the right of way)
4. Milk comes in really small containers but goes bad fast anyway!
5. The markets are amazing and should be visited more than once
6. Drinking is accepted around the clock.
7. Soho is an amazing area of film, gay bars, and prostitution. oh! and great restaurants!
8. If I ate at a different restaurant near my work every day for 2 years I still wouldn't be able to eat at all of them!
9. "Spicy" in England does not mean spicy.
10. Save money at Primark (but don't be surprised if the things you buy there fall apart!)
11. There is ALWAYS something exciting happening in London.
