When in London

10 days in London.

My wife was summoned to go to London for a work trip. She joined a new team earlier this year and her new colleagues wanted to have an offsite to get all together. A great chance to join her. I've seen London before when I was 15, but can't remember much. Maybe just all the Big Macs I was able to eat while my parents were not around me.

Coming back.. yeah, so I decided to join her.

Because I had a lot of remaing PTO days, even from 2024, i thought it was a good chance to spend them. So I did.

Besides visiting all the main touristy things, I walked around very nice parks (love regents park), drank cheap, but decent coffee from Pret a Manger, drank expensive but not amazing coffee. ate a lot of shit - tbh missing so much the gym i was able to work on my own projects like at least 6 hours per day - which maybe in very empty weekends i was able to do remembered of Asia Uniqlo - but it doesn't even compare what I beautifully surprised about how clean london is (not only in the city centre) - but for me (or my routes) it was much cleaner than Paris, Rome or Bruxelles would come back - when? when i'd want to work, eat food and most importantly drink good bears late at night without caring that my fellow bushkas see me in my apartment building oh yeah, i also bought a notebook - couldn't help myself
