Day 1 – 1/1/2009 – London

The worldwide recession doesn’t seem to be affecting London much. We could barely even make it through Piccadilly and Oxford Street because of the throngs of people flowing in and out of the clothing, CD, and trinket shops. High end shops, low end shops they were all bustling we people carrying three to four shopping bags from various store. I did hear a number of different languages being spoken, so maybe it was just the tourists coming in to shop – but one would think even that would die down.

Walking around London shows me where much of the inspiration for DC. The buildings aren’t very tall and it looks very stately. I was surprised though at the trash – there were cigarette cartons, fast food wrappers, and plastic bottles everywhere, pretty shocking indeed.
