London: Day 1

First coming to London, a few things popped out to me: they drive on the wrong side of the road, there are a LOT of Arabs and Muslims, and sunglasses are a very big deal. It just seems so much cooler in London. The airport is huge. They have metros in the airport that go crazy fast. It doesn't seem like you are in an airport. The biggest thing, however, is the accent. I am obsessed with the British accent. I mean, who doesn't like it? The shopping is even more amazing and I haven't even seen it all. I have seen a little bit of Oxford Street where I did a little shopping and then there's this street near where we are staying (Chelsea). There are so many cultures here and you can hear about every language of the world. There are so many French places and I am obsessing because it's like I am in France, but not. The cabs are so nice over here. They have more space in there and it has more of a family feel to it.

Speaking of family, it has been so nice catching up with my grandparents who I haven't seen in four years. They make fun of my Arabic, which is only expected, and I make fun of their English.
