Welcome to London!

This morning at 12:35 a.m. Central Time, your humble bloggist arrived in London Gatwick International Airport to begin his study abroad program for the next month.

We arrived in London in a little over 7 hours and after no sleep and walking out into London's streets at 6a.m. their time I was already exhausted. But we had to make our way to Regents College this of course meant dragging our bags through London in the early morning. For the most part this was not too difficult, but a few did make a scene when we blocked the Tube gates with our luggage... It was kinda embarrassing. Then when we boarded the tube I specifically heard a man tell his girlfriend "Oh god we are sharing the tram with Americans" which kinda took me back... I guess it is true that Americans are not to well liked.

This is the best picture I could manage while we were rushing our way through the British Railway system.

Anyways after the whole Tube debacle we finally came out at Baker Street, which was as expected decorated with Sherlock Holmes paraphernalia everywhere (even the walls had Sherlock Holmes profiles on them.... I 'm going to get my picture with that wall someday.)
However, I couldn't manage to take many pictures here, because well its kind of hard when your pulling a 45lbs bag and fighting your way through crowds (I mean after all I didn't want to look to much like a tourist...)

After we made it out of Baker Street and walked a quick 5 minutes around the corner we approached what would be our home for the next month, Regent's Park. It was something else, because of the excellent weather we were having (I was expecting the rain as this is usually the case in England.)
And at last we made it to our new home Regent's College, where I will be keeping you up to date with what is happening in London for the next month. Seeing as how I have never been here why don't we discover this place together.
