I spent Easter holiday in London!!!! WOW what a city! :) I have quite a few friends in London and figured this would be a great time to visit them. I was there for ~6 days, and spent some time seeing ALL the sites that the city has to offer. honestly, it reminds me of paris/NYC, but not AS hectic (Paris), and not as stressful (NYC). And it was really nice because everyone spoke english...so even though there were accents, at least I could understand EVERYTHING being said to me! hahahaha However, I was not prepared for the weather- it was quite sunny the first day I was there...and then random times of sun during the rest of the trip...but i definitely encountered "typical" british weather- dreary, rainy, windy, and cold. I definitely did NOT bring enough clothes...as I thought it would be "spring" weather. but that gave me a good excuse to go shopping! hahahah. Overall I REALLY enjoyed my time in London- they have just about everything America has... ahhh whole foods, krispy kreme, the GAP, ... etc etc.. it was great! it ALMOST made me feel like I was in the states again. ( actually it kind of made me miss the good ol' USA)
