London for Thanksgiving

Went to London last Thursday (Thanksgiving) and Friday. It was pretty awesome. Aside from Copenhagen, I would seriously consider studying abroad in London. It was touristy, sure, but there was a friendliness about the place that made me feel so comfortable. Some other perks include:
-Food: TEA, fish and chips, meat pies, desserts, food markets (Borough market is a must), etc etc.
-ALL THE MUSEUMS ARE FREE
-Easy to Navigate
-They speak English.
-And they speak English with that English accent <3
-Fantastic easy to understand "tube" transportation system

London City hall plaza. I loved.

And since it was Thanksgiving, it is only right that I talk about what I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful for my family who puts up with me and my temper tantrums. They are the rock I fall back on when everything in the world is not going right and they somehow love me no matter what. We are an unusual bunch of people but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm thankful for my friends at Cal Poly. I enjoy our studio rendezvous and no one except my fellow architecture friends can understand the shit that we go through. All the late nights in studio slaving over our projects bring us closer together. Weird but true.

I'm thankful for my high school friends back at home. Some of us have been together since elementary school and junior high, and I'm so proud that we still keep in touch even though we are all SO noticeably different from one another. So much <3

And I cannot even express how thankful I am to be in Copenhagen. It could very well be any other person in my place right now, but somehow I was accepted. It's been only about 3 months but I have learned more about myself and the world that I could've ever expected.
