Recently, I realised that even after 5 years of London life, I still do silly “first timers stuff”.\u00a0Even though I keep pretending \u00ab\u00a0I\u2019m a real Londoner\u00a0\u00bb now\u2026 Well, clearly there is still some work.<\/p>\n

Even\u00a0worse, since I started noting the first one in the list below, \u00a0things keep adding up to the pile…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I often (almost all the time) check if I have to \u00ab\u00a0LOOK RIGHT\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0LOOK LEFT\u00a0\u00bb at crossroads. Proper foreign pedestrian\u2026<\/li>\n
  2. I google every meal or ingredient I\u2019m not sure of in restaurants. Often ends up being an Italian cheese actually. lol<\/li>\n
  3. I take the front seat at the floor\u00a0 of a bus if it\u2019s free. Why wouldn\u2019t you?!<\/li>\n
  4. I still complain about orange tomatoes in the middle of January of other \u00ab\u00a0too perfect to be true\u00a0\u00bb vegetables in supermarkets<\/li>\n
  5. I feel like a teenager when I end up in the city, always fascinated by the city vibe\u00a0and the skyscrapers. (Take the country girl to the big city\u2026)<\/li>\n
  6. I can\u2019t help taking pictures of pretty doors and colorful streets in Notting Hill. Or everywhere else colorful and pretty .<\/li>\n
  7. I jump when an ambulance drives past with the alarm on. How are we supposed to get used to that?!<\/li>\n
  8. Clearly, I am still not good enough at spelling my name correctly. I\u2019m Elodie. E.L.O.D – no D not G – I.E. Always end up being: Melody without the M.<\/li>\n
  9. I always feel the London magic when looking at the views from the hills or the top of one of the rooftop bars or bars with a view. So beautiful.<\/li>\n
  10. I still get lost in Bank Station and Covent Garden. At least one of the 2 is charming.<\/li>\n
  11. I still want to kiss people (on the cheek of course..) when meeting them and really not sure about the shaking hands or hug thing. Not sure which ones makes me the most uncomfortable.<\/li>\n
  12. I still complain about the perks of London life. You know, the rent, the cost of transports, the weather, those kind of things. But I still wouldn\u2019t leave the city.<\/li>\n
  13. I feel pretty chuffed and happy when I think of my little london life.<\/li>\n
  14. And I still feel like moving here 5 years ago was the best thing I have done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
