LONDON LANMARKS

In 'escoge modo de estudio' choose cards and see the pictures of London Landmarks.

What do you know about these places in London???

Find out more information in the internet! google it!

Well, I have to say London and the sites by the River Thames are really beautiful. I went and stayed there only for a weekend... it is not enough time to really see London properly...
However, as you know, I am a big nature fan! I don't like big cities...

Both in London and New York there are...
crowds...
a lot of traffic...

although...
there are many nice restaurants to eat in
a big variety of shops
a big variety of people and nationalities
which is great!

But... you know... the truth is that... I didn't like New York!!!! Yes!!! It's a myth... but I don't like high buildings, I don't like the crowds, I don't like the smell of hamburguer everywhere!
I prefer nature, small cities or towns... so next time I'll visit the USA... I may visit Colorado!
