Let me try to write down some thoughts and feelings about London before they vanish into thin air :)<\/p>\n
The first thing that\u00a0comes to my mind are the cosy little houses<\/strong> of West Kensington. The place where\u00a0Elli and Lukas used to live and where I stayed for four days. Just follow this link<\/a> to make a litte Street View Tour. I just love these little roofs over the windows of the first floor :) and the chimneys!! I already noticed these typical chimneys<\/strong> when the plain was on its landing approach and they reminded me somehow of «Karlson vom Dach» – a film based upon the novel of the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren that I used to watch when I was child.<\/p>\n In London there are many different worlds<\/strong> hitting each other. And through my London friends I was able to come into contact with some of these worlds. On one hand there was West Kensington, a residential district where you didn’t really feel like you’re in a metropolis because the houses are really small and there is a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The scent of flowers growing in the front yards is sweetening the air and you can see mothers taking their children home from school.<\/p>\n Then you have East London \/ Shoreditch<\/strong> – where I did this Street Art Tour<\/a> I already wrote about. An area that reminds me of Ehrenfeld<\/a> here in Cologne. Everything is a bit more rundown and you have a lot of hip Clubs and Bars. Many house facades serve as\u00a0canvas for Street Artists. In some areas – like around Brick Lane – you feel like you’re in a huge open air gallery!<\/strong><\/p>\n And I also experienced what it feels like to go on parties of the upper-class.<\/strong> On the first evening when I went to WTA Pre-Wimbledon Party<\/strong> and on Saturday when Fredrik took us to this new Club called Press Club.<\/strong> The food, the drinks, the atmosphere at Kensington Roof Garden (location of the Pre-Wimbledon Party) was just amazing! And the music at Press Club with these live drummers emphasizing the beats of the music – that was pretty cool as well. BUT. ^^ But I realized again that this is not really MY world. I prefer wearing sneakers instead of High Heels, I prefer places where I can be more myself where I don’t have to dress up or behave in a certain way.<\/p>\n But nevertheless I’m grateful to Lukas and Fredrik for having this opportunity to gain an insight into this world. Because this is what I love: Get to know different people, different places, different worlds!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let me try to write down some thoughts and feelings about London before they vanish into thin air :) The …<\/p>\n
