This wasn't my first trip to London, but every time I go back I discover some new place to eat, some little street, something new about the city, I feel like it's a never ending discovery... The one thing I have learned from going traveling so much is that the best thing you can do is to avoid the tourist trap restaurants. Whenever I go somewhere I always try to eat as local as possible, and I don't mind to pay the money as long as the quality of the food is worth it. One of the most fun meals, which I wish I would have experienced more often is afternoon tea. There is just something so appealing about it. While in London Chanine and I did go for tea at this really nice close british brasserie near the hotel, where we had tea, and home made sandwiches, and cheese, and the most amazing scones every. I do love scones, and I haven't been able to found such good ones at in London. I also got to try the famous fish and chips, sausage and mash, mushy peas, and so many other delicious foods. I was also able to go to some fine dining restaurants, Oxo and Seasons, that were really good and reasonably priced for the quality of food that was served and the service that was provided.
In regards to culture there are so many aspects of the British culture that I enjoy. Their kindness, their willingness to be helpful regardless of who you are and where you come from. I thought that the US had plenty of great hospitality traits, but the UK is not too far behind.
