Initial Impressions of London! :)

So, London... I've only been here about 2 days and I'm not so sure how much I like it yet.  I think it's a beautiful city, most of the buildings seriously look like something out of a 18th century movie remake.  

There is A LOT of diversity here.  I've seen probably every kind of person and heard every language spoken on the streets.  The train system... I hate the train.  It's long and a lot bigger than any metro system I'm used to.  One of the things I didn't account for with this trip was that I would have to relearn subway systems over and over again.  So this, for me, is not fun.  I've more or less just decided to walk everywhere and luckily for me, most the places I want to go are within walking distance.  I have also successfully gotten a sim card and UK number, so I can communicate while I'm here.  

I will be going out to Lo-Profile tonight for salsa, so this will be my first social activity outside of the hostel.  I've had some chats with my roommates, grabbed a beer with one of the staffers here, but aside from that, I've been on my own.  No couchsurfers to hang out with on this trip :(

So, do I like London?  Not sure, I've (again) only been here 2 days so far but if the weather stays like it is (cloudy and RAINING), then probably not :(  I can do snow as long as I don't have to drive in it.  But rain just makes me sad.  Which is why drought ridden San Diego is so good for me. 

I hope to get out tomorrow to take some pictures.  Today and yesterday were raining, so no pictures.  Tomorrow it's suppose to rain too, so maybe thursday.  Who knows.  I just hear that London = Rain so booo.

Rain also makes me tired so I'm basically sleepy all day.  Plus, I'm really Stock-"Holm"-Sick, which doesn't help.  I want to go back to Sweden!  I miss my oatmeal!!

So, could I go to school here, in London?  Could I live here?  I don't know.  This rain is killer and I hear it's like this year round.  

I will update probably next week.  I'll be in Liverpool Sunday and then Dublin (couchsurfing with Peter Kane) until Fen 4.  Then it's off to Switzerland for February.  Stay tuned!
