I guess you could say I love London! Over this past week, I visited Piccadilly Circus, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey as a sightseeing tourist. But I’ve also tried to immerse myself in settings such as Camden, Brick Lane, and Borough Markets as if I was a local. London is a place that reminds me of New York City in the sense that it’s a melting pot. There is so much culture in this city, and it has truly enriched my study abroad experience. Just walking down a street, you can hear many different languages in the background, smell so many different foods, and see so many different people. To me, that’s such a beautiful thing.
