First Impressions of London
(the numbers in brackets is me counting words… sry for that.)
First week passed by now.
I really got used to lots of details about London, which in the first days really were exhausting subtly. First the accent of London as compared to the english i was used to before. Second the Pounds with their seemigly random size, with the two pennies coin being one of the largest and heaviest, being such meager at the same time. (85words…) Third the left-hand traffic keeping me confusing. But now i got the feeling for the left-hand flows, also in the tube tunnels. Fifth the crowds of people around everywhere in central London. So many of them. (103)
Vyner Street, near Bethnal Green Tube (6)
Thursday was “Last Thursday Special” or something in Vyner Street, where lots of small galleries are crowded in one area. There were lots of artist exhibiting.
— artist doing painting with lack on metalframes, reminding rothko
— paintings of very realistic hands on acryl & wood, adding a 3dimensional effect. (43)
— even more artists…

Lazy Sunday — last week summary
Sprechen
amerikaner und alle versteh ich echt fast problemlos. doch wenn die hier mit ihrem london akzent kommen… da hab ich das gefühl, ich kann kein english
University of the Arts London
also mein college ist wie ein ganz kleines dorf. beschaulich. und sind gute leute da, auf jedenfall!
und st.martins — ein anderes college, aber auch meine university — das ist ein riesen haus voller artists. wie der unihh campus, nur mit künstlern
London
hier in london ist alles etwas dichter gedrängt und voller leute.
innenstadt, meine bahnstation, st.martins.
und mein college ist recht weit außerhalb. wimbledon ist eine eigene Kleinstadt vom feeling her
Sonntag

Snow in london
resumé 3rd FEB
— Holborn
— St. Martins
— Leather Bottle Karaoke
Main event was going to the st martins college of arts’ new building (king’s cross).
It’s a really huge artschool. never seen so many artists in one place before. drank tea while watching them. then checked out the graphic design studio and the really nice library.
Have to go there again soon.
At night i was at the leather bottle singing karaoke with my flatmates. a rich scala of quality in singing. also including the worst karaoke i ever heard, topped just by another guy also singing that night. it was amazing!
