My summer 2014

This summer I was accompanied by the most wonderful, sweetest cousin of mines from Norway. So I spent my time being a tourist and guide!
Believe me it was fun.
But there were ups and downs.
Some hillarious days, and some rainy days (But that didn't stop us)

The ups (+)

-I live very close the heart of London so getting around was fairly easy, and I pretty much knew all the hotspots.
-The weather was lovely most of the time
-We got discounts (students) almost everywhere
-During summer there were so many events and opportunity
-Food just tastes much more savouring during summer holiday
-Being a tourist meant PHOTOGRAPHY! (YAY)

The downs (-)
-Travel costs are ridiculous for tourists (Tfl need to sort something out for them)
-Central London don't have enough Halal restaurants (frustrating because fish gets boring after a while)
-The weather had bipolar
-Not enough mosque's or prayer places in Central!
-It's always fun to be tourists as a group rather than just a few, but nonetheless it was amaze.

Here are some pictures that basically sum it up! xoxo- Comment and tell me about your summer!

Bus driver and stress!

It was a rainy day, early morning at 8:25, and I was near by school on the bus 3 stops away. Annoyingly, there is a train strike so more people resort to transport via Cars. Which means more traffic on the day of my exam. Stress!

I dreaded doing this, but I had to for 2 reasons. One reason simply because i was too short to reach the emergency open door button. Two, because no one else on the bus out of all the students who had a exam seemed to care as much as I did. So, I approached the familiar and friendly looking Asian man and asked him if he could open the door, the traffic wasn't moving, and I am really in a rush. Instead he ignored me. Pretended I wasn't there. The bus was pretty empty i guarantee you he saw me. I felt humiliated at his disrespect. I asked him repeatedly if he could kindly open the door instead he literally opened his passenger booth door. Then he turned his face from me and said no, fixating his face unto the road. Uh, it's not like the traffic was moving why wouldn't he open the door!!

I assume it's because of my attire. Blehhhhh. 

I eventually reached the next stop and ran to school, fortunately I made it just in time before the exam began.
