So as I said earlier... I am in love with LONDON !
It's like the most beautiful city I have ever seen.. And by saying beautiful I mean not only the style, buildings and red busses and phone cabs which are very authentic and cool and romantic and I'm going to stop it right there, but also PEOPLE, EVENTS, WEATHER ????? THE ATMOSPHERE !
London even has it's own smell.. Seriously, as soon as I take my first step out of the train from the airport - I can smell it and I enjoy it every time..... It's impossible to describe the smell, you just gotta smell it! Do you guys feel me? Is there anybody there who knows this London-smell feeling??? Is it weird? I'm weird...
So the atmosphere in London makes me feel so inspired by everything... It's just like I could sit in Trafalgar square and write poems in my blank, paint something really good (even if don't have a talent for that), make a new friend, get caught on TV or just sit there, breathe, enjoy the show which is always happening there EVERYWHERE (street performers)... I feel like I want to stand the fuck up and start singing ''I'm like a bird'' by Nelly Furtado you know??
A super cute story about a rainy November day in the same Trafalgar square and the street performer....I was just walking with my best friend in the super warm weather (well after the DENMARK and it's -3 degrees snowy weather +12 degrees in London went just perfectly!) So we saw a young guy, who was so british looking, playing a guitar and singing a beautiful song.. It was evening, as I said, the sun was no more and only the street lights where on, and a light in that boys heart as well... Bach to the story... so the guy is is singing and it starts raining... A LIGHT WARM RAIN ! Best rain in my life probably.. So another guy with a black umbrella and a cigarette in his mouth passes by and he STOPS at the guy who is singing and just holds that umbrella above the performers head randomly like it's you know, usual stuff to do.. He just smokes his cigarette and holds an umbrella while the performer ends up his show. AND ITS SO SO SWEET and so melting and...so LONDON ! <3
Okay one more story and I promise I will stop with them.... So we were going home, we took a metro and were just tired, sitting there quietly when suddenly a man comes to the metro, holding a violin which was..well..broken or something.. And he seemed really drunk then, he said something we didin't understood and then he just started playing the violin.....! He was so into that music (it was The Four seasons by A. Vivaldi, the spring part) He looked like he is about to reach an ecstasy! And it was so sad, because he literally had nothing but that old violin and the TALENT..... But he looked happy somehow and it was so inspiring....
I don't know LONDON that well, but as I know, my favourite place there is St. Paul's Cathedral and every building from which you can see the Cathedral....
London has the best cookies ever... I mean those big chocolate-full cookies from M&S or TESCO or whatever.... Mmmmmm.. Talking about the best things - There is my favourite beer in London ... you can find it in some small stores... It is called CUBANISTO.... Super strong, super good and yup, it is with RUM :)))))) I can't find it anywhere else abroad.....
ONLY IN LONDON ... There are some small things that exist only in this beautiful city... For example everyone stands on the right side while on the stair lifts, or ''MIND THE GAP'' words in metro... Or the smell which I already told you about.. The CABS... The squirrels that actually can climb on your leg in the Hyde Park, The red busses and their drivers, who won't go to the next station if somebody stands in the bus.... Yeah.... Always choose a seat in the front in the second floor on the London bus..... WORTH IT !
English breakfast is a MUST TO TRY while in London! This picture was taken in my place in Lithuania... My little LONDON cult breakfast in the balcony haha.....
I could just talk and talk about London, tell stories and show pictures... But i will upload a few more and give you guys a question..... FOR THOSE, WHO WHERE IN LONDON - WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE THERE AND WHY?:))
So Let me know your ideas in the comments section and I see you next time.... :)
Still cold...
