It has been a tremendous 2-day trip in London, back and forth.
At times, I was wondering why I chose to stay in London only for a day before the interview. Mostly, I answered to myself "because they paid for the room for one night only". But clearly, I could have stayed more if I wanted to; and perhaps I know I would never want to leave if I stayed a while longer.
Despite all of expensive living costs and noise pollution, which you will never ever have encountered in this peaceful Exeter, London surely has a lot to offer - from photography to a peaceful walk hiding at some random parks.
And on top of that, there is something else, some unspoken feelings that I always have when I arrive at this magnificent city. This time it was even more with tourist attractions touching every corner of the memories I had back in the day. A chapter was closed but when you read it back after a long time, you still realise that you have read it before. And you take a different lesson, just to know that there is still a secret buried in pieces along the pages.

ReplyDeletethat's like reading again a book you finished long ago. Sometimes it doesn't make you feel the same way it did before, sometimes it does; sometimes you can draw new impressions or lessons out of it, sometimes you feel you're just going in circles. Nevertheless, when you live it again, a limited piece of time gets captured in your hands.. and if the memories are pleasant you have the feeling you're seizing a piece of heaven, you own it, and it will not vanish because it lives in you :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how I will feel when I come back to Exeter. Seriously, why didn't you stay for longer??

well, they paid for my hotel hahaha. To be honest, I will be back in London again very soon so it is not a rush to stay there for a while in one go.
