Adventures & Experiences!

Have you ever seen photographs of the same things from different perspectives? For example, a photograph of a street seen from both sides. Everything changes, your perspective shifts to meet the new one and what once might have been familiar is now strange.

I wouldn't say I'm familiar with London at all, it's a pretty hard place to be familiar with (I was only there for 3 days), and just when you think you're out of it, nope, you're still in the centre! With a population of 8.3 million (2013 statistic), contributing to nearly one quarter of the United Kingdoms economic output, the question remains: where the heck do all these people live? 

London is like any other place really, but there's just something about it I love.. There is so much culture and history. It has some less economically developed / slum parts but every place has them. I'm Not going to lie, but when we were heading toward the centre of London I was really surprised.. I didn't really know what to expect, well actually I did a little - my first glances I was like "Wow, is this seriously our capital city? It's disgusting" but clearly I spoke too soon, we passed houses that were practically half left, TV aerials hanging off of the roofs, ripped curtains & smashed windows. I'm making it sound really bad here but I'm not exaggerating , seriously.  We passed through those parts and then gradually I seen London's potential... It is beautiful! 

Overall the very short amount of time I was there I loved every second (apart from the hotel room I was freaked out) we went to see Wicked (I fell asleep 5 times during) so that was nice. We went on the London Eye, we went to Harrods for those of you who don't know what that is.. It's a really posh shop on Brompton in London, where a tiny tub of Caviar is like £9,000. Hahah it's pretty funny actually because people were like cracking on with their weekly shop. We went to Madame Tussaud's and all that jazz! 

I'd happily live there! I think depending on where you are from and what kind of person you are, you either hate it or love it.. Its definitely not for everyone. We didn't stop that often to take any photos so half of them are through our bus window. If you ever get the chance to go, go for it!  (:
