Life is a Mosaic

Short break in London

I liked London the first time I went there, and the second time last weekend I fell in love with it!
Me and Rasa took the Eurostar train, which was almost like an airplane - luggage check in with metal detector, then going really fast with my ears almost closed and passing through the tunnel very fast. We were easily falling asleep until... Suddenly there comes an announcement, which states mainly 'Ladies and gentlemen, due to technical problems, now the passengers going to Paris change with the ones going to London!' Yey, let's run, see who wants to get to their destination faster!! The arrival got delayed by half an hour, then we made it to Vilija's place in a cool section of the city.

...the weather was incredibly awesome - not a single drop of rain, +24 degrees all the time.
...it's nice to understand the language people speak in the streets
...catching up with the news in friends' lives
...girls night out in a cool Rumi lounge bad
...forgetting about everything and everyone that was giving me a hard time recently. At least for a bit.
...shopping!! Portobello Market, Primark, NEXT and everywhere else. My MC salary budget cannot hold expensivo brands, but it's about the shopping experience anyway ;)
...seeing the variety, the mixture, the liveliness of the city!!
...visiting Salvador Dali experience and realizing even more that this guy was a sick genius. I love his works, probably because they are so disturbing
...visiting Sherlock Holmes' house, which was missed the first time
...sitting on the bank of Thames with a beer and philosophies about the purpose of life.
...realizing, that I am not a tourist in London anymore, and this is a city I could live in.

Hey, Brussels is sunny today as well!
