London

Regno Unito

Londra

Everyone said something good about this country, like how it’s one of the best in the world… In the beginning, I didn’t believe it. I didn’t want to go. Once I changed my mind, I prepared my luggage and I left my country. I wanted to stay no more than 2 months… I stayed there for 9!

What can I say?

The city of a thousand colors, this is the first nickname I gave to London. I thought I was back in China sometimes, or in New Delhi when I smelled Indian cuisine. I felt like I could be in Lebanon, with so many people walking by in the clothing I saw back in Beirut. People were as friendly as the unmistakably nice Turks, and Italians made me feel like I was in a street back home in Milan. Everywhere, I could feel the presence and influence of the Senegalese, the Argentines, the Peruvians and who knows? Probably loads more ethnies! 

It was nice to see all these people doing all different types of jobs, which is really different from my country; black Woman working as a taxi driver, people from the Sikh religion in a suit and tie, an Asian woman teaching in a school, kids with burkas, so many different kinds of couples… Color and style ran without any rules, everyone can express themselves! I felt something different, orginal but still together, something I’d I never felt before.

Every day was an adventure. When I went out of my house, I didn’t know what could happen during the day. The city of a thousand surprises, the city that has what yoy want when you want it; museums, parks and libraries…suitable for everyone.

The weather was the only thing I didn’t like, the sun is vital for me!
