=) The Russian version of blah-blah-blah is being read by Luna Lovegood! For real! =)) I'm on a plane with an Englishman. Cool, huh =)
A beautiful sunrise in Moscow, everything is great. And it's a good thing I don't have an iPhone, or I would have tweeted my whole feed! He-he.
Ok., rolling towards the sky...

Oh, am I a silly fool or what?!! I'm not me if I don't have some kind of extreme situation when leaving for somewhere. And the further I have to go, the more extreme the situation gets before the trip 0_0. OMG...
Well, that's it, I'm sitting on the plane. Looks like a Boeing 747. Cool and all that. Both flights gave me some stupid seats. Apparently, window seats are only for first-timers =)
Well, sooooo! They actually let me into London!!!!!! A-a-a-a!
It's amazing and I am, naturally, in love forever. Oooo =)
I had to fill out a paper, I talked to three whole employees, explaining that I want to see their beautiful country, that my things are on another plane somewhere, that I'm flying to the United States and I have Work & Travel there. And the last gentleman even asked how much money I have. I don't know how much they need, but I had $300, and my answers satisfied them =)
Wow =) Already on the way to the subway I was insanely happy about this event.
I bought postcards and water at the airport to get some pounds. Then a ticket for the subway for 5 pounds. A woman advised me to go to Piccadilly Circus. Well, that's where I headed =) At first everything was as usual, but then the subway went outside. Result - a bunch of photos of little houses from the window and a stiff neck on one side =) Heh. An hour ride. There are other ways, but they are more expensive, like 3 times more. In general, that's it.
I'm getting out of the subway! I just can't contain my excitement!!!! A-A-A- I'm in London! A-a! In short, I stood there and spun around in puppy delight and amazement. It's just that the place is such that everything around is really beautiful. Everything-everything! A huge fountain, pubs, cobblestones. I took pictures of the beauty, then decided to capture myself too for history. One smiley woman offered to help, I didn't refuse. Result - the first cool photo of me and London =)))
At the exit from the plane, I took a useful little book with all sorts of events, places, a map of the subway, the city, and a detailed center. And a list of places that are famous and must be visited, since you've dropped by the UK. I studied it a little bit in the subway, roughly marked where I would definitely go. But when I got out of the subway, I just went somewhere, because a) everything is beautiful everywhere b) everything is within walking distance.
I ended up at Trafalgar Square with the National Gallery, with another cool fountain, lions and... police officers (Getting ahead of myself: I spent a long time circling these cool policemen or whoever they are with their cool helmets?)
<<<It's 18.20 RU now. I walked around London, subtracting 3 hours from my phone>>>
I spun around there, I don't remember the exact order anymore, it will be possible to restore the chronicle from the photos, but I repeat: who cares! everything is cool everywhere (!) there! Yes-yes-yes - these red telephone booths, buses, typical cars...
I saw Westminster Abbey. And in general, it was funny to end up in an English textbook and a postcard at the same time! It was all so unrealistically cool!!! The only downsides were the weight of my hand luggage - a huge backpack, a bag and a package + a camera around my neck (at least it's not a pro one =)) I'm not complaining about the short amount of time in principle.
So how much pure time did I get? 9.30-13.10 (really? I'm probably confusing something... 0_0 no, that's right! I did and saw all this in that much time?! Well, really Harry Potter, nothing less.
Checked all the necessary boxes - take a photo with officers √ take a photo with a booth √ buy souvenirs √
It would be nice to ride a double-decker bus, and I still haven't figured out where the famous postcard bridge is. Somehow it's probably in a completely different place.. That's for next time =) and I'd also like to see the guys in the hats (you know who I'm talking about?)
And so I wandered around the center, took photos and got photographed, went into cute courtyards, even ate some cute treats a couple of times. Walked along the embankment, even watched a performance by one cool street guy for a bit. I laughed sincerely =) Across the bridge, through the park, saw the Gherkin (would have liked to see it closer too), demonstrations with tents and without for various reasons.
So many different people in London =) People-people-people =)) And the boys are cute by the way, how everyone dresses, hairstyles... mmm=) pleases my creative eye... (the other one too)
what else... I highly recommend it! And thanks again to everyone. A-A-A-A!
upd: And yes, financially - it seems $70 was spent
