I have the smartest cousin in the world! Really she is going to do great things! When I told her I'm a few hours away from Paris by train she was like "what? Isn't Paris in London?".... Ya... That's my smart cousin.. I promised I wouldn't tell who she was so no one would think what a complete and total moron she is.. Don't worry Taya Scherger, your secret is safe with me.
I got 2 new roommates, they r 2 older ladies from Poland and don't speak a lick of English! They are here visiting the one ladies daughter who lives here in London. The daughter was here helping them move in so I got to meet and talk with her for a bit. She must have told them my name because last night the one lady said "Taylor" and I look up from my bed and she had a bottle of wine and 3 glasses. I laughed and nodded. So the 3 of us drank wine in the room, me not knowing a word they are saying. But still how nice to offer a stranger something to drink at their expense! Just proves that we all drink alcohol in the same language!
I went to St Paul's Cathedral today, my grandmas are going to be so proud that I went to church. The inside was cool, the architect of the church walls and ceilings are incredible! But my favourite part was going to the top and looking out over the city! More than 400 steps to the top but I made it. At the top its 345ft in the air, looking out over the city and you can see a lot of the main attractions from this view aswell. Tower Bridge, London Eye, The Shard, River of Thyme, Big Ben, etc.
Getting to the top wasn't the funnest climb. Steps are very steep and very narrow. And at some parts where your climbing up the hallways get so small! I'm not really Claustrophobic but those spaces are so tiny even I was having a little bit of a hard time with it! Once your at the top it's great, minus the wind! Very windy up there, but makes sense your 345ft in the air what do you expect.
After that I went to a store called Primark, just a clothing store to buy stuff for my trial run. I got a pair of pants, 2 shirts, a pair of shoes and a bracelet for only 30 pounds! (60 dollars) that's Insanely cheap! In Canada it would be double that! But it's crazy because everything in London is so expensive yet this was beyond cheap!
I saw someone famous today, not a clue who she was. But I was standing on the street on my phone trying to figure out where I was and she was walking on the street and stopped right beside me and just started posing for the dozens of paparazzi following her. It was awesome because I looked so good today. Uh not! I was also looking at my map very confused and then this rando walks beside me and starts posing so I think I gave her the biggest WTF look in the world. Not kidding you I looked at her like she was on drugs. Well that was until I realized she was posing for cameras. So I swear to god if that ends up in the paper or in a magazine I will jump off St Paul's Cathedral because it will be her looking all sexy and seductive and me looking like a homeless confused person.
I get the feeling that my family totally misses me. Like I'm sure I am all they think about! Well for starters you have Keifer, oh what a guy, I messaged him almost a week ago... Still hasn't responded to me. Oh but wait then there's Laine who I know misses me! We have the same heart bracelets to represent our sister love for one another and I wear mine all the time.. She told me today she hasn't worn hers once since I have been gone and thinks she actually may have lost it... At least Connor misses me. I never get to talk to him unless it's over Skype, I Skyped home the other day, mom and dad were in the living room skyping from the tv. Connor sat on the couch and was on his iPod the entire time, and then after about 5 minutes I think he figured this was boring and went to his room. And now that I think about it I'm pretty sure he didn't even say hi to me. Wow, what a great bunch of siblings I have!!!!
