I've been in London nearly two weeks now but there's so many new things to get used to here. These are just a few thoughts and observations - expect a lot more.
- There's never going to be a perfect time to go - you just need to make the decision that it's what you want a s what you should be doing.
- People are what make a place - as amazing as it is to see the monuments and tourist attractions the things I always remember about holidays and places are the people.
- It will take more than two weeks to sort your life out in a new country (much to my dismay).
- You need a lot more money than you think you do, and probably less clothes.
- On that note, laundry takes a really long time to dry in London, and even when it is dry it's still that sort-of-a-bit-damp feel.
- Jet lag is the second worst physical feeling in the world, second only to a hangover. I went over fourty hours without sleep and slept for 10 the first night. Instantly accustomed to the time zone - fun tip for you there.
- 10 cent coin from New Zealand look exactly like 1p coins in the UK and it's surprisingly frustrating,
- There's quite a good chance you will get sick in some way when you arrive, planes ready are bug ridden things.
- You'll find the most mundane things amazing - like ice cream vending machines!
- There will definitely be days you wondered why you left home and what the hell you're doing here (wherever "here" is).
- Those days pass. Some days you'll just be walking around absolutely amazed at where you are.
I'll be back with a new post soon - sorting things in London is just about a full time job at the moment.
That's amazing xx keep up with your amazing work! I've learned a lot thanks :D
