London

London is definitely a hot spot for travel but the down side is that everything is so expensive there because the exchange rate is about 2US dollars to one pound. So basically everything is double the amount of what it costs in the US. It was a bit drastic change in that sense coming from Africa where it's pretty reasonable and cheap. I spend 5 days in London and spent 400 dollars in that amount of time. With the same amount I spent in Africa for 5 1/2 weeks!!! crazy! London is a city full of beautiful architecture and is very classy. Shopping is wonderful over there if you have tons of money. I really enjoyed the museums the most: National Gallery, Imperial War Museum, and the British Museum. Site seeing is way fun because there are many castles, gardens, cathedrals, etc. There's a Chinatown in London! Hooray! I also love the diversity
there.
