Pros/Cons

So obviously I haven't been in London for all that long so there's still a lot of time for me to discover things I love and things I hate about living here, but here are some of my initial pros and cons after my first five days.

Pro: Digestives! These little cookies/crackers/biscuits made up like 40% of my diet in Kenya. And I'm so excited to have them again.

Pro: Public transportation! As I haven't had to deal with any major delays or anything yet, I'm still pretty pleased with the transport system. It's great after being in Rhode Island and Vermont all of the last year.

Pro/Con: The British accent. I love it. But half the time, I have no idea what people are saying. I guess when British people are in American movies they cater to us so we can actually understand what they're saying.

Con: Having no place to live. My space in the hostel is literally a cubby with a mattress in it. I bang my knees or elbows at least five times a night.

Con: A lack of American football. I suppose this means I now have to get into the other, more boring football.

Pro: How unbelievably diverse the city is. In five days, I've met and befriended people from the following countries: Spain, Germany, France, England (obviously), Portugal, Argentina, Slovenia, and Norway.

Is it awesome? It's pretty awesome. (Ten points to Gryffindor if you can name that quote. And no it's not Harry Potter; I'm just mixing my references.)
