Hugh:London, London, the City of Dreams, is just as good as it seems
Picture
the scene: Heathrow airport, drinking a can of cider, listening to Aerosmith's
“Back in the Saddle Again.” London, I was back. There's nothing quite like
going back to your home country, the sounds, the smells in the air, the noise,
the delays on the trains...“this train will be held for a short time, in order
to regulate the service.”

I think the main thing about being home was
eating my mum's amazing food… every breakfast was kidneys
plus a wide variety of food. However, there were so many additions to my trip…
going shopping at Sainsbury's and Tesco for my favorite foods to satisfy my
appetite… walking around Central London and remembering why I love being in
such a multi-cultural city... looking at
some unfamiliar buildings, for example, The Shard (which is the tallest
building in Europe) and some old traditional buildings, for example, The Tower
of London, Tower Bridge and Big Ben.

Can you imagine seeing a double-decker bus
drive past a mounted police officer and
seeing a punk rocker, all in the same place? There is so much diversity in London and it can be truly exhilarating. It's a common misconception that food in England is terrible!
Okay, okay, the quality of food may not be on the same level as Japan, however,
it's not all about fish n' chips. If
you're out and about, why don't pick up a
saveloy sausage (with or without batter)
or head down to Brick Lane and get a chicken tikka masala? Contrary to popular belief, this curry was not
first concocted in India, it actually originated from an Indian restaurant in Glasgow,
Scotland.
