London 1999 Diary

Sun., Dec. 19, 1999, 12:45 PM

On the place, just before takeoff. That’s all she wrote. Goodbye London, hello (soon) Montreal.

So what have I found out about London that I didn’t know before?

  1. London is all atmosphere. I would love to be part of a vampire LARP here. I now know why people associate this place with Goth.
  2. The metros (‘tubes’) work much better here than they do in Montreal.
  3. Food, and just about everything else, is really expensive.
  4. Weather can change fast. Very fast.
  5. If I go backpacking, I will use hostels. Two reasons: one, cheaper. Two, it’s easier to meet people who are also backpacking.
  6. Only tourists wear blue jeans.
  7. Everyone wears black.

Hm... that’s about it. Final word? Nice to visit, but I don’t think I’d like to live here.
