I have to tell you my first impression of the famous English accent. After living in Ireland I was prepared that everything you've learnt about transcription and pronunciation doesn't exist on the Islands but I still got a bit shocked hearing people speak!!! When they talked about the bus - I was convinced that they meant their bosses and couldn't get where was the lush and posh accent you see in movies) I grant you I knew the language very well but behaved as a loopy cause it took me several seconds to realize what I've just been told. I had to basically repeat it again in my head with my own American accent. It took me some time to get used to it. But my sis loved it a lot, picked it up flawlessly and couldn't get my first weeks frustration ))) (She arrived 6 months after me).
For now I was alone, went to the city on the very first day, I was too tired to check out the city center, Westminster e.t.c , so I just took a stroll in my local area. OMG!!!! Why haven't anybody told me that buses din't stop before you haled them??? I remember standing like an idiot for about 30 minutes and thinking "What's wrong? Am I not fit to get in the bus???Is there smth on my face??? ( haha ).
I found out that there are plenty of parks in London and believe me this is astonishing for a Russian girl cause here we've got just couple of parks for the whole big city and live in a proper block of stones!((( And the squirrels!!!!!!and the foxes!!!!! That you won't see anywhere in the world) There are not a single cat or dog on the street but the squirrels are as good as pets because they behave like the most trained dogs.)))
I also checked out some stores and went to the local Tesco)))) But I guess the food deserves it's OWN chapter)))... to be continued
