How come every time you come around my London London Bridge wanna go down like London London...

We going down like London, London, London.

I am going to London tomorrow. I have a dozen maps printed, tons of bus schedules highlighted, and my tour booked marked with stickies to the max. Of course I still feel quite unprepared. London is one of the biggest cities in the world, and I am going there. By my self. Sometimes I feel like such a child, but I'm actually a grown up, or close enough to one that I don't look totally out of place wandering the streets of London alone. Hopefully.

I have read about London and its landmarks in so many books, and taken a handful of University courses that revolve around the city. I almost thought that I would never get there, or even as if the place didn't exist at all. The famous imaginary city. Where everything from the past has happened; coronations of many fantastic kings and queens, battles lost and victories won, the home of both many poor and many rich throughout history. An adventure awaits.

I can feel it. Can you feel it?
