A DREAM COME TRUE

June 16, 2009 - 4:23 pm

Two weeks ago (I can’t believe it has already been two weeks!), I went to England—a trip that has been years in the making. And it truly was a dream come true, as corny as it sounds. I loved every minute of it (too bad I only had four days to spend there) and even though I knew a lot about the country, it still took my breath away.

The landscape is absolutely dreamy (as anyone probably will tell you) and the countryside outlandishly beautiful. As soon as you step off the plane, you are emerged in the British language and culture (and surprisingly, my own British came back to me instantly). And although the Brits themselves can be slightly aloof, the people seem very nice in general.

Contrary to the popular belief, English food really is pretty tasty. And if you’re not up to tasting the British specialties, there are plenty of international cuisines to choose from. And of course, one cannot forget about the never-ending pubs that dominate any English town or village. There was one that stuck in my mind because it was quite unusual. The pub was located in the remnants of an old church and it had this unique feel (and smell) to it. Now, that’s an idea!

And of course the best place for the taste of the best night life is London. So many things to offer, one would actually have to have days to spend in London itself just to be able to sample it all. And since I was actually visiting a friend living about two hours away, I only had a day to spend in this world-famous city. So if anyone tells you that you cannot have the London experience in a day, you can. Trust me. This was London in a pill but at least I got to see and experience the best parts of it. And I will definitely come back. One day…
