I want to take you to foggy Londontown...

What strikes me as the most interesting about London is how everything is a mix of very, very old, and then again quite new:

I've been here a little more than a week now, without internet access, in various hotels and a homestay in Southport, near Liverpool. I'll do some backdated entries in a bit, to catch up, but right now I have classes to register for. Thrilling!
