London

London in some sense just feels like a New York, but not in the same interesting way I found Buenos Aires to be.  Hard to really articulate the reason why.

As with Scotland, there remains a lot of architecture far older than the US as a nation.  When on my own, there wasn't a lot I did particularly of note besides rent a Boris Bike around the city.  Boris Bikes are rental Santandar sponsored bikes under a program implemented by the mayor, named Boris.

Oh and incidentally, the tubes went on strike while I was in town, so I got to experience the double decker buses in ridiculous traffic.  In hindsight, I don't feel like being on the second floor was particularly worth it, as everything worth seeing is on ground level.

Of interest is that a good friend of mine from Kansai Gaidai (Jessica) happened to be in town for a few days too, so we went around to the tourist areas including Big Ben and Tower of London.  Her experience with travelling to/from England is just about as bad as mine, so it's not just me!

I also met with one of my dad's friends (Mihir)/a relative of one of my dad's good friends.  Went with him to get some good Pakistani food, which included some amazing east/west fusion lamb chops.
