Strange London

Before I came to London, I had imagined it quite like shown in the Bollywood movies, with tall buildings, great sceneries n all. But, when I finally came here, things were quite different. Not tht the reality was shocking. London is a beautiful city. But, except for a few commercial places, rest of London (and in fact outside London too) is like a town. Houses are all the same wherever you go. So, tht is pretty confusing coz you can't distinguish one place from another. Also, I came across a number of things that i found as strange (coz these things don't happen in Nepal):

1. Vehicles have number plates in 2 colors. Its white in the front of the vehicle and yellow behind. (I remember my fren n I discussing abt his uncle's car number plate color. He said tht it was white and I was sure tht it was yellow. As it turned out, we were both rite.)
2. Here, people don't blow horns of their vehicles. Since coming here, I have only heard horn blowing once, n tht was quite new to my ears. Otherwise, no one blows horns, even when the vehicles' rite behind you.
3. Pedestrians are kings here. While crossing roads, pedestrians get first priority.

As I come across more interesting things here, will keep on updating my blog. Till then, get to know London a little more thru this post.

• In Chitwan, i remember people telling me not to go outside at nite coz you have rhinocerous running wild re. In London, its normal to see fox near your neighbourhood re. Saw one near where i live too. (Thought my fren was making a fool of me when he said tht it was a fox. Didnt believe him at first. hehe)
