Hi! Me and Fabrizio just wanted to write a few lines about our trip to London.
We don't need to repeat how much we enjoyed this beautiful city. It really is a special place, with so much to see and to do.
However what really impressed me were the people. It's one of those cities were you really see people of very different cultures live and work together on a daily basis. Our first morning we were just strolling around a park and we hardly heard anyone speak English! There were so many strangers (not tourists, residents) that you just couldn't understand where you were. Actually, the first words we heard were: "Stanna shweia!" "Fisaa, fisaa!"; it was a group of Tunisian girls that were buying some bread near our Hotel. Isn't it incredible?
Another thing that we liked very much was how much English people are kind and sympathetic to animals. Fabrizio is a vegetarian and for the first time he didn't have to struggle to explain his position or to find good stuff to eat. For example, in the grocery shop where we used to buy lunch, every sandwich or salad that didn't have meat in it was marked with a "V" - "vegetarian". It was so much easier and faster to buy lunch, because we didn't have to read all the ingredients of a product like we usually do!
And English people are also really kind to strangers. Every time we asked information about anything, they would do their best to help us out, and with a smile on their faces!
In general, I felt that people in England are both open minded and welcoming, two beautiful qualities that are not often found together (for example, I don't think Romans are so polite or kind towards strangers).

We're hoping to go back to London soon, the only downside is that it is soooo expensive!!! T_T

Bye, see you in class!

  1. Hi Lisa and Fabrizio!

    Glad you had a great time in London.

    I like the photo,showing typical things connected to London:the red telephone box,the red buses and Big Ben.

    It was strange you heard those Tunisian girls,like you were still in Tunis.

    Well,London is a great city with many things to see and do!

    Like you say it's a pity that it's so expensive your money goes so quickly!

    See you in class.
