Last thoughts...
As it turns out, today is my last day in London. Tonight I fly back to Australia. Whether this is a permanent arrangement or a temporary one I will find out in a couple of weeks, so it is probably worth making a list of…
Things I will miss (in no particular order):
Things I won't miss so much (again in no particular order):
So it will be over and out from Paul in London. And over to http://paulincognito.blogspot.com
Things I will miss (in no particular order):
- The weather. It has been fine and mild, and as the leaves are now starting to fall it looks all rather pleasant. I will be returning to Australia (Brisbane in particular) where it is hot, sticky and glaringly bright. When I tell English people about this they look at me and say "Oh yes I can see how you just can't stand the prospect of returning…"
- Public transport that sort of works. Actually even with its problems it is still by far the most civilised public transport I have encountered in all my travels.
- The parks the greenery and all that goes with that
- British Television. Series three of Little Britain is about to commence. Darn.
- Marks and Spencer food. By far the most edible and doesn't taste like they made it with their feet.
- My gym. Even by London standards it was pretty "out there".
Things I won't miss so much (again in no particular order):
- A fried chicken store on every corner with that lovely aroma of week-old vegetable shortening wafting out of it
- Sandwiches that appear to be soaked in mayonnaise.
- Hard water
- Being accosted by beggars and Big Issue sellers (wait a moment, that will happen in Brisbane too)
- Shitty coffee
