Alex Lai - My First Impression of London

Student: Alex Lai

My First Impression of London

          I have went to many cities around world, but without London; that make me thinking about to go to this city even harder, meanwhile there was a chance for me to take a long vacation, I decided to go to London.

          After a long fly from Taiwan to London, finally the destination was arrived. I got out from airport jumped into a bus to go to where I would stay during this vacation. In the bus, it was moving fast and I watched the sky throughout the window, it was a little cloudy and gloomy that made me feel a little bit cold. Then I watched the street of city, building, cars and people all fill in the city with some kind of order. I looked  people walking through the sidewalk, they walked very fast compare to my hometown, therefore for me London still is a mysterious place. 

Truly, London is a huge and crowd city with cold weather. However, I have three weeks to explore this city; I would like to understand the history , cultures and humanities. I believe that I will find the beauties of London very soon.

Fannys assignment

This is my first time in London. 

By the time I got off the airplane, all I saw was a grand big city lying gracefully in the hub: the buildings were glittering because of their especially designated glassy exteriors, which thus created the changing angles of beams all the time. As we passed by the streets, I simply couldn't take my sight out of these kind of bustles and hustles flowing from this city: this was solely a sense of fashion, mixed up by the old traditions and modern perspectives. 

First day in London we got a quick look over Leicester Square. We guys had a dinner in China town, but I literally made an excuse for exploration of the spots nearby. I wandered around the square and surprisingly got into a circus with white and tall buildings around, which later I knew it was so-called Piccadilly Circus. At that moment, I just stopped. I just awed. I just too stunned to say any single word. May be it so new to me; may be it really a great place ever. In turn, I would say I'd never known the meanings of art till I met London. 

The following day we went visit the Westminster. As the time we arrived, the gothic style of church standing still under the clear blue sky gave me a sacred honor in the air. Again, I was so that stunned. The mosaic windows with vivid paintings on them projected the great sun shines outside. The sculptures on every single site in this church were all well treated and elaborated. Nothing is out of the place even though it has already been though a long long time passed. I had no idea how I was so impressed. I truly wanted to cry, deep from my heart. Luckily, it was a sunny day, the temperature was freaking low that day tho. Alongside the Thames, I saw the London eye but it wasn't that which made my breaths taken off. It was the Thames. I felt confident; I felt serene; I felt tranquil by this sunset on the river. Truly, no any adjective could give London a precise description. That is to say, everything in London is beyond description. 

And the my trip keeps going on.
