My name is Mikhail Emmanuel. I have come to London in the past to visit family, but this time I have been able to partake in a fresh experience living here with my friends in GLS. Though we have only been here for a week, each day has been packed with excitement.
Yesterday we went to the British Library where I saw sacred texts that were over a thousand years old, as well as scraps of paper that were covered with original lyrics to the songs "Yesterday" and "A Hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. Two nights ago we saw a hilarious play about the formation of an Irish band called The Commitments. Over the weekend we went on a bus tour around the city (which I happened to be asleep for, whoops) and ice skating at the Somerset House. The ice skating trip was where I captured what was probably the best selfie ever taken...some of you may have seen it:
Thursday and Friday consisted of sleeping, exploring the city, and making stops at some of the coolest pubs we could find. I have made plans to visit many other places of Europe in the coming weeks including Amsterdam, Munich, Prague, Krakow, Budapest, a few places in Belgium, and hopefully some more. Keep checking in for updates!
Mikhail
