On Saturday October 4th, I went to London to celebrate my birthday, which was the day before. It was quite interesting to compare Cambridge, where we are living, and London. The first thing that struck me was that London was almost completely empty of bikes. It was like they had gone extinct in the period of time it took to get from Cambridge to London. Also, the immenseness of the city made me feel more like a foreigner than I ever was. Everybody seemed to know exactly where they were going and when the thing was happening. We were stopping at practically every corner to look at the map. When we finally got home back to Cambridge, I felt much more normal as I sat down at our local pub and had a bite to eat.
