Dear London,
Indeed you are one of my favourite cities. Perhaps I love you so due to the fact you we’re the first place I visited with my hard earned money when I was just 11. Knowing my idol, Arwah Ki was also the High Comm makes me love it even more. Ayah spent his high school and uni days there too.
My recent trip to London however was a bitter one. My heart was so heavy to leave, I fell sick while I was there and an incident happened that changed me. It made me the person I am today.
I’ve been to gloomy London a few times and yet, it feels like it is never enough. There are still many places I have yet to visit and explore.
I miss sipping amazingly smooth, sweet and fruity coffee in beautifully thought out coffee joints. Walking slowly in art galleries and museums. Awing endlessly at the architecture of churches. Mesmerized by culture. Strolls at the park. Ahhh, let’s not forget my shopping while I’m there.
I told myself this year I’d travel more and explore other countries. But a lil piece of me says pop by London. Ensure it is in your plans too.
Indeed I want to do London again and explore more places.
