Early impressions the U.K.

21 de mayo, 2010

“Do you want to see the world? Do you want to see the wooorrlldd?” Yes! I do…I daydreamed about my time abroad to this Kooks song in Hines 436 freshman year. Vicki, I miss you! Though I’m not in the London airport anymore, thank God, I feel waking up from my siesta to the kooks is still appropriate being in the U.K. T.V.s not working to check out the Irish accent, so the Kooks’ll keep me awake’til breakfast. Soo happy to be in a tea culture…had a giant cup of peppermint tea this madrugada in Stansted. Makes climactic sense though. The sun in the south of Spain doesn’t make hot tea very welcoming. On the contrary, I left Sevilla in tirantas (spaghetti straps) and by the time I got to Cork, I had another long sleeve short, a turtle neck and long rain jacket on, still a bit chilly. Why not warm up with some tea up here in Northern Europe? The smell of the air outside of London Stansted airport was very sweet. And outside of the small rural town of Cork was green, green, green, on either side of the runway…very humid smelling. Welcome to Ireland! Love the accents. Miss all the opportunities for eavesdropping on spanish conversations L. Sevilla I’ll be back for ya, my love!
