London was wonderful!
Obviously I had no internet access while in London...the price for internet usage was 15 pounds...which is around $30 USD! London was extremely expensive, but very beautiful and fascinating!
While in London I stayed at a Holiday Inn, visted Buckingham Palace, Westminister Abbey, and many other wonderful places. My favorite place by far was Hyde Park...somewhat equivalent to Central Park in New York...but MUCH larger and MUCH more beautiful! Hyde Park was set amongst the city, yet once inside you could barely see the tall buildings around because of the excess of green, beautiful grass ahead of you! Within Hyde park were tons of people sun bathing in the grass, napping, or picnicing with a significant other. Very romantic!
The night life in London is incredible. Because the drinking age is 18 in Europe, a few friends and I took the ¨tube¨ to a popular pub in SOHO downtown at ¨Pickadilly Station¨, where we had either a glass of wine or the much loved ¨pint¨ (glass of beer).
While at O´Neils, a pub in SOHO, a few of my friends and I met a young man from Ireland named Shane (Pronounced Sheeahnn with his accent). Shane was hysterical as he entertained us with his view of Americans and many other opinions about life. It was there where we heard him say ¨Americans are stupid and losers because they wear fannypacks¨. :)
