It just hit me today that I leave for the states in less than a week! Craziness!!! As I realized this, my mind started to look back on my experiences. I put all my experiences in the "miss" or "won't miss" categories and this is what I came up with:
I will miss . . . . .
1) The availability of incredible theatre
2) The diversity in the London population
3) Primark (a super cheap and super awesome department store)
4) The area around the Globe and National Theatres, next to the Thames
5) All the outdoor markets including: Portobello Road and Borough Market
6) Paella
7) Bread
8) Almond Croissants
9) cupcakes
10) Gelatto
11) Chocolate. In particular: hob nobs, digestible biscuits (a lot tastier than they sound) Green & Black chocolate bars, Buttons, Bubbles, Flake etc.
12) the tube
13) the gorgeous green country
14) the awesome music playing in department stores
15) all the different accents
16) the architecture
17) Hyde Park
18) Pubs
19) accordions
I won't miss . . . . .
1) all the smokers
2) porn in the telephone booths
3) unfriendly Londoners
4) all 94 steps it takes to get to my flat
5) crappy electricity
6) sun rising at 5:30 am
7) lack of bathrooms (seriously though)
8) lack of trashcans
9) lack of drinking fountains
10) always having to be on the look out for psychos, pick-pocketers, drunks, scamers, and terrorists (no joke).
11) the cigarette buts on the street
12) People driving on the wrong side of the road!!!
13) Having to look both ways 5,000 times before crossing the street
14) lack of air conditioning
15) smelling BO
16) the weird hammy stuff they call bacon.
17) Not so great service in restaurants

I think I saw Green and Black chocolate at Target, where all their fancy chocolate is. I'll have to double check.
