Despite the numerous places I have travelled along the years .. for many reasons , I begun to grasp the fact that I am essentially in love with Enfield .. yeah , London !
We complain about the shitty weather ..
Yet we put on thick coats and have an ice cream with a different setting in mind..
Yes , we complain about the prices of many things eg. petrol and high taxes ..
Yet we compensate by drowning our sorrows at the local pubs ..
After a hard day at work .. there's nothing better than to go down your local and quench your thirst with preferebly a pint of lager :) Or Guinness in my case ..
We pay a high price to live in this city although the same money we spend in a day in living costs would pay for an awesome villa in Asia for a week :)
Yet there is something magical about this place ..
The place where we always start off by speaking about the weather just to strike a conversation ..
'The weather is shit innit' ? Yes , I know it is shit but we really don't need to remind each other :)
In the last year ..
For 6 months I woke up to this .. 10 minutes from my home !
My 4 month stay in Sweden .. This was the view from the room I was living in !
I know it is awesome ..
But at the same time , how did you feel when you watched this scene for the first time ?!
I am not trying to say that London is associated to this in anyway ..
But there are some movies that portrayed England to be this sorta place ..
Grey .. dingy .. wet .. raining .. dark .. depressing .. on and on !
In reality ..
This is England ..
There is something we can all take from this post ..
It's the people that actually make a place ..
Regardless of all the shit the people are put through .. the people don't fail to smile :)
Unlike this miserable bunch ..
It's all about what you make outta what you have ..
Don't simply bleat about something beyond your control
In London - I got wonderful friends ..
My parties are sick ..
When we party .. we either get the pigs or the council but hey ..
We never gave a fuck ..
If you were young and vibrant , you'd love to be my neighbour ..
Unfortunately , they were all senior citizens - Still think they loved my rock and roll :)
We got awesome festivals ..
Amazing countryside retreats ..
Ermmm.. okay beaches !
I don't really find the common tourist attraction eg. London eye / Big Ben , blah blah .. stimulating in anyway so if you are a fan ..you can count that in too but I am not gonna bother mentioning a place where people prefer to click their cameras then to actually sit and feel the place
