The way you described the traffic reminded me of my trips to Mexico. Seems like all the traffic rules are more like suggestions! A big nerve racking to say the least!

Amazing story, Merissa! My favorite part was when you realized it was "cold." It reminds me of my cousins from Florida who come up every November. Especially that time one of them only brought shorts and crocs when he knows that he's always freezing and getting a cold when it's only in the 60s . . . .

Also, where did you get those shoes?! They're so cool!

Thank you!! Haha, yep! That's so my family, too! It's so funny how cold we get 😂

Ooh so they are Converse shoes. I went to a physical location and there they had an embroidery machine where they customized it the way I wanted. I had to pay double the price though 🤦‍♀️ anyway, I think you can do it online if there isn't a physical location near you!

Literally the best purchase I ever made!

Reading this reminded me of how I first felt when I moved to London when I was 19. It's a while ago now! I ended up staying in London for 17 years! I'm going next week again for a week. It's an amazing city but quite hectic and tiring after a while ✨

Aw, thank you for reading! Wow! Living there? That's amazing! Though I'm sure it does get tiring. But I would definitely love to visit there again sometime. The history of their culture really inspires me.

Ooh, how fun! I hope you have a very lovely trip! ☺️
