Day 28


I just discovered that The Great Scotland Yard is right around the corner, less than a minute away. Plan for the weekend: explore the neighborhood!

Day 27


You don't have to pay for entertainment here! I have never seen a place that has so many street entertainers! Some are good (like this guy) others not so much, some just make things up as they go. And no, I don't mean improvising. They just do random things...

Day 26


Argh, I must admit I almost gave up! There is soo much school work to do that I don't have time to take pictures, it also gets late soo dark now, so by the time I am coming back from the library, a.k.a. my new home, it is too dark to take pictures. But I can't give up!

Saw this in Covent Garden and laughed, thought I'll share some British humor :)

Day 24


I know what this looks like, but I am actually very excited because I just bought UGGs and I have no idea why I decided to make that face, or caress the bag. My feet will finally be warm!!! Whoever said that it is never really cold in London was wrong!

Day 23


It is Friday night and I went to a classical music concert conducted by Gergiev. This guy amazes me with his skills and talent every single time ! I still have the music in my head. It was Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliette. I wish I could have taken better pictures.

Day 22


Westminster Abbey disappearing into the night....

Day 21


Finally managed to get a good picture of the Parliament. The key is steady hands and night mode!

Day 20


I used to call this bridge"My Bridge", but that was because I had no idea what it was called and it is right by where I live. Finally learned the name and it is called "The Golden Jubilee Bridge"

Day 19


I just love the reflection in the water and the sky.

Day 18





No excuses will be made as to why I have not posted in a while. But I will make it up....
And I finally made it around the corner to Big Ben !

Day 17



Ok, so this is not a good picture and I know it. What makes me wonder is why does London have palm trees all over?? And you see them everywhere! Why?

Day 16


It is important to point out that we don't actually eat in those cure restaurants all the time. Most of the time dinner looks something like that, and yes, sometimes wine is drank from paper cups...

Day 15


Ok, so since I passed out last night, while doing my reading, this is the picture I took yesterday! I love London because of these small streets that have lots of cute shops and restaurants.

Day 14


This is the reason why I wake up at 7 30 almost every day of the week now: LSE. The reason why I can't enjoy my weekends and can't go out. The reason why I loose sleep. But I gotta admit, I still like it.

Day 13


This is the street at the back of my building. I have lived here for over a month and just discovered that!! Wow, way to take advantage of living so close to everything!

Day 12


I wonder what his plans are for the evening ...

Day 11


So I have clearly not been outside today and had to get creative. This is my plant, that has been alive for a month and is still doing great! Ha to all those that doubted my ability to take care of my plant!

Day 11


It has been this grey for the past 5 days :( I need some sunshine in my life!!!

Day 10


My home, where the sun always shines and does not let me take a good picture. I will work on this.

Day 9


So, now that I am over my mysterious sickness, where I could not get out of bed, I can post pictures. This has been my home for the past week, also the reason why I got sick. The LSE library, the place that does not believe in heating!

Day 8


London for me is now officially know is a City of Passages, because I seem to find them everywhere! Or am I just strangely attracted to creepy places?

Day 7


Another picture of London at night, in black and white. Also taken at Trafalgar Square. What can I say it is on the way home :).

Day 6


I just really like this picture of Trafalgar Square at night on a rainy evening. Makes me appreciate all the rain.

Day 5

This is a picture of LSE, the main road. It gets very crowded after classes get out.

Day 4


This building is located near where I live, however, I still do not know what is in this building and what is in there. My goal is to find out! The photo is taken at about 7 30 pm, before I was about to see James Bond. That is right, a week before it comes out in the States :)
