London Diaries- I

The below are some observations made by me. Here's my list of ‘You know you are in London when :)

• You spend an evening with your friends in a pub. Incidentally they are from China, Austria, Spain, India, Chile and oh England too
• When you are walking down the street and you can identify people speaking in languages ranging from Russian to Greek
• You can have any cuisine from Moroccon to Italian
• Women will wear summer clothes in what I call a winter like temperature, 4 inch stilettos and walk on cobbled streets. It is called the fashion capital for a reason!
• The weather forecasters call 23 degrees as a warm day
• An umbrella is a daily fixture in your bag
• At any time of the day you will find people jogging along the South Bank
• Everyone’s reading a newspaper or a book in the tube
• Every fifth person in Marks and Spencer is an Asian
• The phone booth is red in colour

Maddy adds:

• Every 3rd cab one takes, it has either an Indian or a Pakistani driver

TiM adds:

• When u look around the high street and dont exactly get to see a Bad Looking person
• When its supposedly raining hard and us indians still manage w/o an umbrella because its a very soft kind of rain here
• When you see the pubs heavily crowded on a Wednesday and on a Friday
• When for every chota sa touch/push people say sorry and excuse me and
• When you see everyone carrying an oyster card

Any more to add on?
