July the 14th

It was a lovely day out with Victoria.Since I`m stuck in London until the end of July,I finally have plenty of time.And trust me guys, I`m making the most of it.

When I came back from Paris,which was about a week ago,I realised,how much I actually love London. Or maybe the fact that I finally moved out from Walthamstow has taken its toll.I`m not gonna go into details, but believe me, it`a a place you don`t want to visit.

So today we went to central London. We started our journey from Angel-the most peaceful yet depressing place on Earth (this is where our college is located).Then we moved a bit further south- to Waterloo. Then to Covent Garden, Leicester Sq and finally Trafalgar Square.What can I say...London is a wonderful city and it`s actually incredible how my perception of this place has changed within only a year. It`s so lively,so vibrant,so diverse.I am quite happy living in London.It`a a source of insiration,positve energy and youth.

London weather is quite weird and unpredictable though. It`s mid July already, and it`s still quite chilly, although I prefer this kind of weather to the heat-at least it doesn`t make me feel that much exhausted.

Paris,la ville de quoi?

I got back from Paris a couple of weeks ago and to be honest I feel slightly disappointed and even deceived.Well, thanks to the media coverage, we all assume that this city is nothing but the mixture of glamour,romance,style and charm. No offence, but I`m here to disperse this myth. I`m not denying the fact, that la ville d`amour is beautiful with all its bridges and incredibly sophisticated buildings, but to be honest, that`s all. I was actually quite happy to be back in London, as to me London seems much more cosier and cleaner. The underground system in Paris is utterly unhandy. It`s quite easy to get confused and the doors of the trains have to be opened manually, which I found rather shocking. In addition to that, people there are quite rude. They would step on your feet without even saying "pardon" and push you here and there. I`m not even talking about waiters. I was in the middle of my meal when the waiter came to me and started asking me to pay the bill in a very persistent way, as if a was some tramp or something. These little things kill the romance at its roots.
The Eifel tower was amazing, though. So impressive and fascinating.
I very much liked Musee D`Orsay. We`ve been to Louvre too, but for me it was a bit boring, as I am not very much into classic art. I prefer impressionism with its bright colors and interesting concepts.
Another thing worth mentioning is men.Paris is full of really handsome men. I mean it. They are everywhere and they all stare,which makes Paris quite different from London, because staring at strangers is not something Londoners would do, unless you`re in Walthamstow, Seven Sisters,Brixton or other pictoresque areas of the capital.
You might not agree with me, which will be totally understandable, as we all human beings and we all see things from different angles. Maybe you were lucky to go to Paris with your boyfriend or girlfriend and had an opporuntity to enjoy the romantic spirit of this, undoubtedly, breathtaking city.
