    Just touched Down in London Town

    Just want everyone to know I made it safely to my flat at the Queen Mary Campus. Here are some first impressions.

    • London is very scenic and old looking.
    • Pubs are on every corner.
    • The cars are driving on the wrong side of the road.
    • Public transit is unbelievably clean.
    My flat is a 9 bedroom facility, each room is equipped with a built in desk, spacious closet, mini-fridge, a very small bathroom/shower, some extra storage space and personal climate control. It's a little small but I am happy with it. The kitchen is new with shiny aluminum appliances, a large dining table and chic fake granite counter-tops. In the basement of my apartment is a cafeteria style restaurant with a built in STARBUCKS (how European!).

    So far I have only met 2 of my roomies, both Minnesotan girls.

    The campus is very nice, everything appears to be close together and much calmer than the U of Minnesota campus (however everyone is on break right now). The staff has been quite helpful with the move in process.


    Alright, off to dinner I will update some more later on.
