London Diaries, 2nd Impression: The 1st Impression was just the 1st Impression. Its Blooody Good out here!

Well, in the hope of shedding the first impression, I started my London tour by first diving straight into the city. Oxford St, Bond St, Regent St, Trafalgar Sq, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Sq, Baker St. etc. etc....they are all there. There was a sense of childish excitement in me as I was around these places since I knew these places very well from my Monopoly playing days and it was thrilling to actually see them.

Central London is nice because its the part of the city with some real depth...old architecture which is very well preserved, theater, parliament, expensive shopping districts, colleges, museums, concert halls and some lovely places to eat. You just need to start walking in any direction from any point and you won't feel like stopping. There's a famous street at the end of every block or a familiar place after every few steps...so you can just go on endlessly admiring the sights & sounds. The tube system here which probably deserves a dedicated blog entry is so fantastic that it'll get you from anywhere to anywhere in the city without a problem irrespective of how far they maybe.

In that last two days, I also had my brush with the notorious London weather, which can take U-Turns several times during the day. Sometimes, the sun can come out as late as 7 in the evening after a cloudy day and sometimes it might shine brightly for a few hours before being abruptly interrupted by the rain. But it's all 'jolly good'!

There's lots that happening, lots that I am seeing and its probably unfair to try to some it up in a quick & rushed blog entry. Maybe, when I am back home, I'll do more justice to this.
