went to london, wanting more

i spent all my money on food as per usual and have eaten 
most of it but i discovered a zest for life

i am now back at home after exploring london. i miss her. i'm starting to hate her less, with her stupid stupid technological progression. why can't the rest of england be like london? good trains, good public transport? i will never know. everything is expensive there though. not as in trinkets, there are many designer places so it is to be expected, but just to live. i did like walking around though, people treated me like i was a local. i kind of liked being ignored in a big city, it's not like i'm invisible but i just didn't stand out. i missed the greenery though, not enough birds or trees. it feels like the world is ending sometimes in a big city. everything is juxtaposed from eachother and unexplained but you ask whats going on and it all seems so normal. i saw a low flying world war two plane between the buildings and nobody looked up. i met many kind strangers. in the harrods perfume section i asked so many questions and they were accomodating to me. i now know so much about perfumes now. they were mentioning detailed terminology but also willing to explain what it meant. now i know what an accord is. i really did try talking to people but i got a bit fatigued at one point. this lovely lady in selfridges helped me find my chanel match though i was very awkward. one lady in the steet with this beautiful orange and gold sari with a tuning fork shaped stripe of gold over her forehead and nose said that my dress looked pretty. i wish i could have thanked her properly.
