Going Home
Posted on 07.08.08 to Travels by Joan
It’s time for me to bid farewell to this quaint English city. While I arrived feeling underwhelmed, the old-fashionedness and Monopoly road names gradually grew on me. It was only today, that I started feeling a little more at ease in this wet and windy place. I guess one would have to live here for a while to fully appreciate its charm.
I’m almost all packed and ready to go. I severely underestimated the amount of shopping I would do. I came with a medium sized bag which can now barely contain everything that I’ve stuffed in. (Who can resist Petit Bateau outfits on sale!) I’m rather afraid that the zips would burst when the luggage handlers toss it about later.
I can’t wait to get home to my family. I feel a flu coming on. I hope it doesn’t develop into something bigger!

Yeah, I was talking to my friend who lives in London about this after I’d been there for a few days last year, and we decided that it’s the sort of city that one grows into — not a love-at-first-sight place like Paris.
Safe travels!
