Are you a roadman

Do London tings act more thotish than American wimmenz?

Lol nah, I grew up in the hood but I’m not really a street dude if that makes sense.

And it depends. I noticed that over there, society isn’t oversexualized like it is here in the States so London girls were pretty open with their sexuality but weren’t over-the-top with it I guess. They can be a lil ratchet sometimes tho

In summer we get that nice weather with the clear blue skies that remind me of cali.The city comes to life during summer but sucks during autumn and winter.

Summer is all of two weeks tho

How did she look and was she Black?

Lol there were three Black American girls in my group (DC, ATL, and Denver). They were mad cool and they looked good, especially the ATL shorty

Summer is all of two weeks tho

What were the asses sitting like?

I danced with two Jamaican girls with some serious fatties at the Stables Nightclub (RIP) in CamdenTown

Most of the gyaldem had some good looking cheeks. Hell even the white girls had some too and I’m not even into them. Definitely more so than the American white girls in my group

Where in London did you stay?

The Chapter King’s Cross. It’s an Student accommodation hotel on Pentonville Rd. up the street from St. Pancreas/King’s Cross station. It wasn’t really all that but a couple of the amenities were cool. The room were kinda dorm room sized since you had a roommate but the bathroom (toilet as they call it, loo is pretty much old school at this point lol) was pretty cramped.

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

will be there in 1,5 week
any suggestions?

What do you like to do when traveling to a different country or city?

[42 Monks]

any other study abroad agencies you recommend?

I studied with CIEE (the study abroad agency I was with, they’re HQ’d up in Maine) and I was studying International Business Management at their London location in Russell Square on the University of London campus.

I really want to vist, what’s some spots to hit up

CamdenTown (don’t get persuaded to buy them cheap knock offs lol but the markets, restaurants, and nightlife are dope)
Brixton (even though it’s going thru gentrification, it’s the Harlem of Black London)
Shoreditch (good food and people watching if you wanna see some hipster fukkery lol)
British Museum
Kensington Palace
Westfield Stratford City (the malls in London are something else I swear...They make the malls in the DMV, ATL, and LA look minor sometimes)
Brick Lane
Borough Market
St. Pancreas/King’s Cross (it’s a really nice looking commuter rail/Tube station that’s been a featured set in hella movies. Be warned tho, this place is a major bytch during rush hour)
Notting Hill (beautiful houses and dope Caribbean culture, it’s the neighborhood where they be having the Carnival at)
The Breakfast Club (some of the best breakfast food you’ll ever experience)
Oxford Street
Primark (stores all throughout London and Europe, thank me later)
Edgware Road (bomb ass Middle Eastern food and gelato spots, surprisingly I didn’t get much in the way of looks)
The Tower Bridge got some nice panoramic skyline views of the city
London got some nice parks to chill in and it’s always some interesting stuff going on in them especially around this time of year, even in the smaller ones.

Also, if you’re gonna arrive in Heathrow, be mentally prepared for that LONG ass line to get your passport stamped, please get off at the correct terminal where your luggage will be at, and wear some good walking shoes because Heathrow is one giant ass zoo of an airport breh. Also, the Tube is connected to Heathrow so you can ride into the city if you want so long as you got a good amount of money on your Oyster Card. It’ll feel cramped on that bytch since you and everyone else and they mama will be carrying luggage and bags around.
