London, United Kingdom
Some time ago, before the whole #brexit shenanigan, I made an impromptu trip down to London. It was a decision made while I was downing 1L of beer at the Spring Festival here. In hindsight, that was probably not the best time to make decisions involving money... Anyway, I literally booked the ticket a couple of days before intended date of departure (which felt incredibly spontaneous at that time, but later during exchange I would make even more spontaneous decisions).
London was one of the first few cities I visited during exchange and it really wowed me. I liked how the city showed a lot of character with the fine and polished streets and the graffiti-filled walls elsewhere. In that moment, I understood instantly why many artists and designers alike choose to be based in this city.
On the flipside, the prices were OUT OF THIS WORLD. I walked far too much in this city where a single ride on the tube averaged at S$5. Ain't nobody got money fo/ that. So on the very first day, I walked for close to 2h from Victoria to King's Cross. After conquering that one hell of a walk, nowhere seemed too far on foot anymore. One day I might even conquer Joo Koon to Changi on foot hmmmmmm
