London


I loved London. The city had great food, great sights, and great history. I felt very comfortable there. First, I could understand and communicate with everyone around me. It was nice being able to explore a new city without having to point to things or ask if people spoke English. Second, the food (including what is served in restaurants and what can be found in grocery stores) was quite similar to what I am used to back home. They had beef jerky and cream cheese to name a few of the things that are hard to come by in Paris. This being said, I didn't really feel like I was in a foreign city.

Atif's friend John came with us to London.
