I am a New Yorker to the bottom of my core
London is incredible diverse if you define diversity in terms of white Europeans
You never know how much the sun really matters until it disappears
Those double decker busses are scary when you’re on a bike
£20 theater tickets to see random Doctor Who actors live are a major win
Conflict studies at LSE = Irish civil war
How can so a city with so much history be so bland
The north and the south are not friends
If you thought the number of Starbucks in New York was bad, just wait until you process how many Prets there are in London (but I do love that subscription plan)
Electric bikes are incredible
As many strikes as Paris but people don’t get that into it so it’s less fun
Please for the love of god find me a cafe / restaurant / pub that is not a chain

French men are annoying no matter where you are in the world
However, this city does make Paris seem acceptable by comparison
London is if Columbia was a city - and by that I mean harshly corporate and neoliberal in its core identity
Foxes are just abound ? Definitively a win
