Observations made while in London

[elusivek]

It is cold, but some people are immune to it. They wear shorts and a t-shirt. It was 3-degrees Celsius today.

Apparently there's this lumiere thing going on which I've had the surprised pleasure to see last night.

UK is not big on tipping?

London TV is weird. (Watching London Live now)

So far all the people I've met are friendly.

My nose is permanently blocked. But I'm not exactly sick either. It makes talking difficult. It makes breathing even more difficult.

Went to borough market today. Lovely, and upon further reflection, I've been there before. And southwark cathedral!

I like London very much.

It seems everywhere is walkable (or maybe just the places I've been to are near to each other.

The milk tastes sweet here. It's weird in a good way.

I actually find London generally cheap - just shows how inflation is going on back home.

Have a great time! I'm also stunned to hear that people are walking around in cold weather without coats! Sheesh!!

That's scary that London seems cheap.

I love markets. I'd love to be in London right now.

Get one of those nose sprays that hydrate your nose. The change in air may be too much for you.

I think in the UK generally, people do tip, but it is very much down to the customer. I tip if I think the service deserves it, but if I get bad service I don't.

Central London is actually quite small. After I had been living there a while and got to know where everything is in relation to each other I mostly walked. It's quicker, apart from anything else.

It was 6C yesterday, and I wanted to wear shorts lol.

Tipping in the UK (and Europe) is optional. Tipping in the US is mandatory.

I loved London when I visited a few years ago :)
