London is soon to be my home. It can be an extremely intimidating place to go; with the thousands of people you are likely to see, the tube stops, the train stations, the buses that accept Oyster cards; it is a confusing and strange place for those people who are used to smaller towns; I can only imagine that people coming in from the countryside would be thoroughly terrified. The first time I arrived I was nervous; I went on my own for a job interview and had the route planned out in my head. I would get into the train station, jump on the tube, then change to a different tube line before walking a short distance to the place. That was the plan.
But it pays to know where you are going exactly in London. After a few visits though I was flying; dodging through the crowds, jumping onto and out of tubes like it was a choreographed exercise. I was going to and fro with the sway of the tube, I looked the part and I looked great.
