Just came back from London, UK for one week. I cannot believe that London is so expensive than New York, almost double price than NY, gosh.... How can they servive and shopping??
I was wondering that people went to London to study must be very rich (go get a London boyfriend, no matter he is native Londoner or foreigner, they are RICH anyway...). Then I figure out that UK's master degree only need one year because the expense just like USA's two years Master degree. They cannot afford more...
It was a good trip anyway, I walked a lot everyday, at least 7 hours to 10 hours per day; my friend, Kate, said I was like God, I don't feel tired most of the time, just keep walking and walking. I don't wanna waste time, because London has many attractions that I can visit, so I wanna walk as many places as I can.... I almost finish every attraction that travel book said, but still left some, I was so sad that the last day before I left London, it was raining and I could not go to many places because of the weather... It changes all the time, sometimes, it is cloudy, looks like gonna raining in the morning and cold to death, but in the afternoon, it is sunny and so hot~~ This is the worst part of London, you never know what will happen in the next minute. But if it is good weather, I love to walk in London, feel great and every architecture is so old, maybe like 300-500 years old or even more. Pretty street scene in the city.
The funny in London is shopping stores are fancy and pretty that makes me wanna go inside, but I cannot affrod to buy anything, such as a toptan's price like a skirt's price, start at 80 pounds, how can a poor student like me can affrod?? Damn it #$@^#* So it made me walked through the stores and did not buy anything(almost) in London...
I heard a lot of people said that food in London is so bad that I don't need to try it or waste money...well it is not totally ture, I did try some food that was really good, but it was at Kate's homestay, her homestay-mom is really good at cook and I ate not only breakfast but also dinner with dessert at her home. She is really nice to me, but she does not like tea but coffee, that is kind of weird~~ Anyway, I must send something to her in the future. In addition, I did try some meals at the restaurant, speaking of the taste, it's not bad actually; but the price was so scary... I ordered one burger with french fries, onion and something else... it was 17 pounds... gosh, it's almost 1000 NTdollars. $%^*&^ So I gave up to eat at the restaurant again, mostly I ate sandwich, pie or tart instead...
