Nelson, you look fabulous today!(open declaration of love)





...As the whole of London, as a matter of fact.
I would have never imagine that one can so quickly fall in love with a town in just 4 days. Paris was an exception, of course, since I had dreamed of it for years.
With London, it's sudden. And perpetual. You whether love it or hate it. Not much of a sightseeing fan as I am, London still is fabulous. And has marvellous things to show. And to be discovered.
The parks, the streets, the pubs, the clubs, EVERYTHING. (I will not refer to the British, though, as I find them a little too noisy for me-could be also the attraction towards the latin warmth and friendliness that I mostly have in mind whenever referring to people).
London was, for sure, one of the most plenar and exhilarating expereiences I have gone through for months. I can't help sighing when I'm going through this lines, stupid as it may seem. I still am under the charm of the most cosmopolite town in the whole of Europe. Who used to say that "Go to LOndon, and you will hear the least Brotish spoken, out of the whole of Britain" was entirely right... LOndon, I just love you!

The squirrels in St James's Park, the pelicans, the outraging proportion of snubbish people wearing suits on the street, the intelligent ads, the way you can just spit out whatever crosses your mind(in just one day, I witnessed one demonstration against some politician of London), the traffic on the lefthandside. And of course, the double deckers. Plus the red phone booths.
This is London. And a lot more.
