15 THINGS WORKING IN LONDON HAS TAUGHT ME ABOUT THE CITY

For the past month I've been interning at Cosmopolitan Magazine in London. I had such an amazing time, everyone was so nice and I am so glad to have had this opportunity. It was my first time working in London so there were many things I found out about the capital city that I had no clue of before.

1. Oxford Street is not a place you can rush through
People are just EVERYWHERE.

2. On that note, neither are the tube stations
You think you have enough pace and speed to get your train on time and then some confused and lost person will slowly walk in your way.

3. People are either really rude or really friendly, there's no in between

4. Oxford Street is a magical place
The Disney store is especially wonderful.

5. The floor is un-even. I've learnt from personal experience
I've also got the bruises and scabs to prove it.

6. London prices aren't really that much different to prices everywhere else
When people say "oh it's London so it's going to be more expensive." They're lying. I didn't see any difference.

7. People stand in front of the yellow line in the tube station and it makes me nervous
I've heard enough horror stories to stay far away from the lines.

8. The street sweepers in London don't have the easiest of jobs
See number 1.

9. Deciding on where to eat is a chore in itself
There are just SO MANY places.

10 . London is just not for me
Falling flat on my face, dropping my iPod down the side of a train door and getting lost (multiple times) but kind of proves that, really. But that doesn't mean to say I won't be working there again. I just hope I'll come back in one piece.
