It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door

I ventured out again today! Some of us went and bought oyster cards for the Tube, and later we took the tube to an Ikea (okay, not that culturally different).

I'd never ridden a subway of any sort before, so riding the tube was kind of exciting just in its novelty. The announcements at the stops remind me of the beginning and end of a rollercoaster ride, but the ride itself is rather uneventful.

We're all starting to talk about the places we want to go and the things we want to see. There will be more pictures soon, because some of us are planning on going on a doubledecker bus tour.

I've never been much of a city person. They always seemed dirty and crowded and dangerous to me. London is crowded, and fairly dangerous, but this is a beautiful city. The green of the grass blows my mind, there are actually big trees along some of the streets, and the architecture is beautiful.

These are a couple of pictures from the balcony at my room, and then a few pictures of the sunrise from the airplane.
