London is an interesting city. The shear amount of history imbued in its streets, buildings and art is overwhelming. \u201cOh look, here\u2019s a building that\u2019s 500 years old, no biggie.\u201d and \u201cThere\u2019s another one that\u2019s been around since before my country was a country.\u201d Or even \u201cI wonder how many people stood in this exact same spot before me?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite the feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found that the population density is a stark contrast to the one back home, and that\u2019s clearly reflected in the public transit system. The London underground is a magical teleportation system linking all the neighbourhoods in the city. The fact that pretty much anywhere in the city is within walking distance from a station is mind boggling for someone who comes from a city with a single, new train line that works only when it feels like it. I found the maps and signage to be very clear and easy to understand, and when paired with Google Maps, you can zip around like there\u2019s no tomorrow. It also makes a great subject for photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
