Things I Miss About London

-People calling me “love” all the time.
-Walking by royal albert hall and the Kensington palace on my way to school.
-Musicals. Especially “Wicked” (coming to PDX in March 2009!)
-The underground, and the London Paper
-Discovering a new pub every weekend.
-The South Bank.
-Evensong in beautiful churches.
-Hearing a different language every time I got onto public transportation.
-Double-decker buses that run all night long.
-Markets, especially Borough Market!
-Tea time, and faking British accents.
-Tesco and Sainsbury’s runs.
-Being in on the “high art” culture even if I think high art is a little ridiculous.
-Ballet and Opera.
-Hearing beautiful voices and instruments echo in the underground stations.
-Meeting with my Italian songwriter friend Riccardo.
-Playing in Hyde park.
-Indian food.
-Taking classes that required going to really good performances.
-Having an entire city at my disposal thanks to my oyster card.
-Sharing a flat with 18 friends, where there is always someone to join you on adventures.
