living in London!
I love love love Los Angeles, but I've been dreaming of living in London for as long as I can remember. :)
I know I will always probably go back home to Los Angeles, but it would be amazing to see what life would be like studying and living across the pond...
This dream of mine has been heightened even more by all the fantastic celebrations that went on in London these past two years -- the royal wedding, Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, and the London 2012 Olympic Games! :)
*Sigh*
For now though, I'm just gonna have to live vicariously through photos of London on Pinterest:
I can't wait to see Big Ben in person, take the requisite tourist photo at a telephone booth, and ride a double-decker bus!
The London Eye
I love this photo! :)
I can only imagine how awesome shopping in London is!
I know it's almost always raining in London, but I love rain and I love gloomy weather -- that would be a nice break from the bright, California sunshine (which I also love, of course, haha)!
*Sigh*
It's just a dream for now, but I'm sure one day this will become a reality!
And when that day comes, all my new adventures will be documented here on my blog, of course. :)
What about you, if you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
If you live in London, how is life like there?
Which are the best places to live in? The best places to go?
Tell me your favorite London stories, I'd love to hear about them! :D

ReplyDeleteI always love it when I get chance to go shopping there :)
i'm sure i will love it there! :D
DeleteLondon is great :D i´ve only been there once on a 5 days "vacation" .. Loved it there (y) going back soon ^^
ReplyDeleteLondon is great but honey stay in California, believe me you do not want this weather!! There are so,e great shops and streets you can spend hours in. Camden Market is great too! It can get so busy and claustrophobic though, I hope the Queen doesn't cut my head off now for dissing her city a bit and not being patriotic, whoopsy! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteaww, haha! i'm sure the Queen won't mind! ;)
DeleteSounds spectacular, but I wouldn't want to live there nor L.A. It seems everyone I know wants to move to Portland these days. I don't think I'll be going there, either.
ReplyDeleteLovely Post!
i heard portland is pretty fun too, i'd love to visit. :) where do you live, btw? :)
DeleteGreat sceneries! I love everything here! Great blog dear! I am now following you! Follow me back please!

ReplyDeleteIsland Girl Insights ♥

yes, i would definitely love to travel to all parts of europe too! :)
DeleteI enjoyed London when I visited but LA weather is just unbeatable. : )
ReplyDeletei think i am definitely going to miss LA weather, but i really do love rain. :)
DeleteI've been to London and I really love it. I remember thinking it would be so easy to live there because the language is the same, the scenery is great and the shopping is spectacular. Love that photo of the London Eye too.
ReplyDeleteyeah, that's exactly what i was thinking -- it's like you get the best of both worlds. :)
DeleteSeeing these photos of London makes me really want to go there too. There's lots of places that I wish I could live in, LA, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei and London of course. I hope I will get the chance some day.
