It’s come, and it’s come in full force… Winter! October was decently warm, with hardly any rain, quite enjoyable I might add. Then as soon as November hit…Winter, with snow, and freezing temperatures. I love it!!! (Give me some time though and I’m sure that I’ll hate it.)

I just hit up ‘New Country’ number 11, but who’s counting? (Oh that would be me.) I went to join my sister in London, England for a long weekend. What a change from Germany. It was so exciting to speak, hear and read English, although the English they speak there is rather hard to understand. I arrived in London Thursday afternoon, and was there until Sunday evening. I of course did the typical tourist things such as;

Shopping
-Oxford Street
- Soho
- Harrods
I became broke just looking at anything to buy. But I was able to treat myself to some VERY expensive things.

Sight seeing
-The Buckingham Palace
-The London Eye
-Tate Museum for Modern Art
-Tower Bridge
-Burrow Market -Big Ben
And much, much more. I would have to say that the London Eye was one of my favorite things (13 pounds = 26 dollars). It gave a great over view of the whole city.

Typical English Food
-Fish and Chips
-Curry
-Cadburys Chocolate
To get the English Curry we went to the ‘China Town’ of London, but with Indian Food restaurants instead. It was rather amusing seeing these guys fight for customers to come into their restaurant. ‘We’ll give you free drinks for you and your friends’ or any other lines like that.

London was an amazing place to visit, but in all reality, to go there one needs to have a ton of money, and be willing to spend it because London is over all, way to expensive.
