London isn't so different... there are a lot of differences, but over all- its pretty similar.
The people have been really nice, it's very diverse, the style is better, obviously they drive on the opposite side of the street (not only that, they walk on the opposite side, and the escalators are on the opposite side), it's expensive, the cars are completely different, the city is really clean, and the cars are different.
Its interesting... There are SO many people here in London but the space is actually very small... when looking at the map it looks so far, and the tube stretches all over- but when you walk it, you realize how close everything actually is!
So far I've seen Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Picadilly Circus, Big Ben, and various parks (huge beautiful parks), there is some more to see- and tomorrow night I am going to the Thames River Festival! I tried to visit the Queen ;) but apparently she holidays in September/October and the Palace is empty.
Photos soon..
It's too bad that the queen is away on holiday. I think she should have canceled her holiday and instead had you over to the palace for tea and crumpets. It sounds like you are having a great adventure so far. Enjoy every minute and take care. For now I shall simply say...
