London Calling

Here I am again - incredibly tired and exhausted, but also quite content and full of new impressions. It is always refreshing to breathe the air of a big, busy city and dive into the anonimity of a place with more 7 mio. people.

Radcliffe Camera; The Bodleian Library (Oxford)

Oxford wasn't nearly as exciting as London, but still I quite enjoyed it. Even though the local High Street is small, shopping there is splendid, calm and nowhere near as exhausting as in London (hello 50m queues in front of the changing rooms in Oxford Street Primark). Studying there must be so great (or well, not so much studying, but being distracted from studying by all the exciting things to do and places to meet people)!

Next to all the visiting museums and castles and guided tours, I also got to shop quite a bit (I would have been quite devastated if I hadn't). I'm completely convinced that every other country has better stores than Germany. You have no idea what I would give to have some of the shops here in Germany that people in the UK and and USA get to go to.
Anyway, I paid visits to Primark which is to some extent the British equivalent to Forever 21, at least in terms of prices (although Primark might be a tad bit cheaper even), New Look (only good for shoes and when they have a sale), Urban Outfitters on Oxford Street (quite disappointing, if you ask me) and of coure I went to Camden Town where I had a creepy encounter with some Goth chick.
