Before going to England, Itaskd heard a lot about it. Some things in London were as I had expected. English people are considered to be reserved. That’s true. I laughed when I went on the underground and saw people sitting and reading newspapers. I couldn’t understand why no one talked or smiled. But some things were not as I had expected. I had seen beautiful photos of tourist sights, like Piccadilly Circus* and Buckingham Palace,* but I hadn’t seen pictures of ugly parts of London. To my surprise, in London there are dirty streets. British people surprised me too. I hadn’t expected London to be so international, with so many people from different parts of the world. I couldn’t understand the Scottish and Irish people that I met. I couldn’t always understand the Londoners. The family I stayed with was another surprise; the children spent a lot of time indoors watching television or playing with the toys. They didn’t go out alone. Their mother took them to and from school.
