Things I like about London - Top 10:
1. All-year-round musicals & shows.
2. Architecture.
3. Different kinds of markets.
4. History.
5. Convenient public transportation.
6. FREE galleries and museums!!
7. Great and easy-to-get desserts with ceramics in supermarkets.
8. Boots.
9. Many many many artists.
10. Top Shop.
Things I DON'T like about London - Top 10:
1. TOO CROWDED!
2. People don't line up for bus/tube/train.
3. People are rude and mean and selfish, e.g. few people would yield their seats to those in need.
4. BAD food.
5. Everything's bloody EXPENSIVE!
6. Absolutely NO customer service.
7. Banking system/public transit system/ticketing system/airline system are unreliable and stupid, e.g. you won't get your money until 3-5 days after you deposit your cheque; the staff blocked the entrance to the platform and you missed your train.
8. Classified society.
9. Dirty environment.
10. One pound is very heavy.
Like I've told many people already, I think London is great for short visits, but not ideal for living. Perhaps it was because working in London was so stressful for me, you may think that I have bias towards London. If I was studying there, maybe I'd love it more. However, I still valued my 8-month stay in London. It was a completely "超越自我" experience. I have seen a lot. I have learned a lot. I would still miss my time in London.
I love London, but I love Vancouver more. That's why I chose to come back.

How about Taiwan? If you ask me...I love BOTH Taiwan and Vancouver :) So I might end up living in Taiwan in the future ;)

Excellent!! 這篇文章讓我能夠想像在倫敦的生活~~ People have to struggle for life!
"Absolutely NO customer service" 很好笑。是不是歐洲的步調比較慢呢？

candi~
只差你不想留下來 :"(
永翠~
以倫敦來講, 它的節奏是非常的快, 比台北更快, 所以作服務業的面對那麼多顧客應該比較講求速度而非態度, 只不過是他們效率大致也很糟!
小N~
謝啦!!這次的TWFF場面更大, design可是要由比較 pro 的人來做, 那就是你啦:D
＊我發現這樣的版面還真 girly...

The more I look at that deer, the more I love it :) Can I use it as my logo? I am starting to think using an animal for logo makes a lot of sense...
