Hello world,
this is me writing a blog post for the first time ever! I wasn't sure what to write about so I thought for my first couple of posts I'd write about where I live, London. I do love it here, the landmarks, the royal family etc etc, but there are some bloody annoying aspects too.
Of course, the weather, wet. Enough said.
What I consider the most interesting aspect of London. The business men. The suits. AKA the rudest people in London. The ones that push infront of a pregnant woman to get on the bus first. You know who i'm talking about! The ones whose briefcases need a seat over that elderly woman on the tube. The ones that look like they never learnt to smile.
Transport. Tubes, buses, taxis. The infamous black cab, which is actually more expensive than getting a private jet to your destination. Buses, always guranteed to be stood next to the pervy man that smells of B.O, always fun. Tubes, the oppotunity to find out just how good your balance is, especially when you're 5'2 and too short to hold on to anything other than surrounding strangers. If you're lucky a business man, that would rather see you fall than get anywhere near his suit. But then again you may be lucky, and the tube will be so busy you couldn't fall over if you tried. Or breathe out for that matter. Your Oyster card, your saviour, the thing that 50% of your money goes on!
Free newspapers. And who said nothing in life was free? Everyone has their favourite, I like the metro. Either way, as soon as you put yours down, someone WILL pick it up. And you'll have a sneaky suspicion they've been watching and waiting since they got on the tube.
Dating. For somewhere so big and full of people it's not as easy as you'd think. People in clubs, we all know what they're after (nudge nudge, wink wink). People at work, a big no go. People in bars and pubs, that never happens to real people. People on the street and in coffee shops, only weirdos would do this. And only weirdos would reply to them.
London, fashion capital of the world. Could be true. However, it's also the fashion disaster area of the world. For every well dressed person there's three oddest dressed people you never thought could exist.
Thanks for reading!
