My Trip to London
There is an old Chinese saying – a good thing starts with many difficulties. (Forgive my bad translation if you know what I mean.) The trip to London wasn’t easy at all though it is 4 hours away by train. It ended with a 10 hours trip since I left my apartment in Rotterdam till I reach the UK MC office.
For some strange reason, Schipol airport claimed that they found a bomb left from 2nd world war thus most of the flights got either cancelled or delayed. The Dutch are just funny people!
I really loved the time I spent in London and here are my feelings of London:
1. London is a true cosmopolitan:
I was born and brought up in Shanghai. I always thought I loved quiet little towns. After 1 year in Beijing and 4 months in Rotterdam, London provoked my ‘cosmopolitan’ DNA. I loved the dynamics of the city – fashion, art, chilling out, sightseeing. I don’t think I’ll be bored at any time. It is so busy, so crowded, so energetic.
2. Girls are not wearing the same:
In Rotterdam, girls all look the same. This season is tight jacket, short skirt, black stocking with a pair of boots and a big cross their body. If AIESEC countries are like Dutch girls, there will never be any misalignment in directions. ;-)
Here in London, fashion is a lot more dynamic. At least I think girls are prettier since they know what fit them better or what they want to wear.
3. Juice is not popular:
I was having a Chinese lunch buffet with the UK MC, celebrating Harmandeep’s birthday. I was quite surprised when I could only choose between lemonade and coke – where is fresh juice, my friend? How come London is so different from the rest of the Western Europe?
