Travelling

@Mhereforyou7116

I'm curious as to why you felt the need to apologize...for a dream. Kinda makes me sad. 🥀

There are issues and problems everywhere. Maybe not in everyone's eyes, but there's no place on earth where absolutely no one would find at least one thing, be it political, economic, religious, habitat, wildlife, environmental, military, or societal, that'd be seen as unwelcoming, unfriendly, unapproachable, or undesirable.

Just look at how the United States is viewed by many nowadays, yet was once believed as the promised land to the masses. Even with all its issues over the millennia. Such as civil war, political unrest, slavery, Gangsters, mass rioting, crime, poverty, segregation, divisiveness, etc etc.

My point being, dreams are sacred. We should never feel obligated to make rationalizations or justifications for anything we see as having even the slightest potential to enrich our lives.

Well, with the exception of things that are detrimental to others, of course, and which I'm sure you know what i mean. 😉

PS: Keep cherishing your dream. Not sure where you're from, but I'm in the USA and have been all over this country. I've also been to London and surrounding areas and it's pretty cool. What with the Changing of the Guard, cobblestone streets, archeological digs under churches where history of the Roman occupation is unearthed, the squares and circuses, pints of beer available in "yards", (i think they were called) the Tower of London, (sorry, but you'll have to visit Arizona to see London Bridge!)😋 people driving on the wrong side of the street while sitting in the wrong side of the car, the Parks, Bobbies, (cops) the Lake District, Soho, the Palindrome (night club), the Theater district, the Underground, buildings (considered "new construction" there) older than my country, buildings built on top of buried buildings...

OMG, the list is endless. It's definitely a fascinating place. The air is so thick with history it's tangible darn near. I'm sure you'll love it!

Here's a few bits of little known trivia for you, but please keep in mind this was back, over 30 years ago, in the eighties: 🤫

1) 74° F was considered a heat wave when I was there. Several people actually died from the "heat", when all the while i was wearing a sweater! 🥵🥶

2) People looked at me completely dumbfounded when i wore nylons. Apparently pantyhose weren't a viable option back then, if now. They wore tights, if anything.

3) If you like a lot of ice in your drinks, get over it. Three small cubes is considered to have "filled the cup" with ice.

4) People are completely confused if you ask where a restroom is. They think you want to take a nap. Ask for the "toilet" or "loo" instead.

I don't see how anyone could contradict London as being a desirable destination, and I do so hope you make it there someday! 🥰

As they say in London: Cheers!
