london 2018

(disclaimer: this post is long so read it when you’re pooping or have time to read it)
previously on traveling, I went to new york! flying to london from new york was cheaper than flying directly from sfo/oakland because london is right there on the same coast or whatever (look, i’m not a geography expert, okay?)

dublin, ireland. may 2018
we arrived at london-gatwick airport only to walk on over to our check in gate for our flight to dublin, ireland! surprise! to summarize my trip to dublin; it is a beautiful place that i’d love to go back to. i need to read more, my only adjectives are literally “beautiful”, “cute”, like bitch what the fuck, you went to college get it together. comment your favorite adjectives.

after our short trip to ireland, it was finally time for me to be in the one place i’ve wanted to travel to for as long as I can remember. y’all ever heard of one direction? if you haven’t, this isn’t the place for you, i’m sorry. stop reading this and watch this video of my favorite british dweebs

so, they’re british. there are many places in the u.k that I will definitely explore if the Lord allows me to, but my choice was London. if you know who one direction is and you’ve watched their One Thing music video then there’s my logic behind it, okay?
immediately, I was in love because i’m fucking blown away by accents and looks apparently. congratulations, ruth, you’re shallow! the young man who was working security at the airport was gorgeous. I couldn’t deal. america who?
we stayed in a flat in islington which was about an hour and a half away from the airport. all I remember is falling asleep and snoring on the 1 hour bus ride from the airport to where the tubes are? tube is their version of bart, except cleaner, runs more frequently and doesn’t shut down, unless it does, but never experienced it while we were there. 
the flat was really close to the tube so that was cool because we were going to rely on public transportation to get around since we didn’t have a car. this trip was so long ago in my poor little goldfish brain that I don’t remember what happened day by day so just enjoy these pictures of me living my best life.

here I am next to this statue by buckingham palace. the amount of times sam ran around to get this picture is ridiculous because this was high up and she’s really short. was this the day I tried nandos? I wouldn’t be able to tell you cause I have shit memory. but I will tell you, nandos changed my life. if you don’t know, nandos is a restaurant chain that does peri-peri styled(?) chicken dishes. it was life changing. the moment I bit into the chicken I teared up because it was so damn good. I can’t even explain it. I wish I could virtually feed all of you this chicken. 

this is me before I got wasted (don’t tell my momma) yes, before. we bar/pub hopped after this and I guess the cider really is stronger there or i’m just weak. 

if you know me, you know i’m a friendly drunk who starts talking to everyone. so the stranger in the uber, was no stranger to me apparently because I started making fun of him saying his tinder date stood him up. fast forward, sam and I got off our uber with him. queens of being smart amirite? 
his date ended up being real and he left but sam and I encountered some british kids in suits??????? we thought it was prom. turns out it was some dinner banquet with some important people, i’m not too sure because  I was drunk. what I do remember is meeting a young fellow named tang. for the purposes of this blog his name is tang. tang was a snarky, haughty, posh british boy who I spent the night walking around with because I love putting myself in dangerous situations apparently. tang apparently according to my fan fic, was the love of my life because i’m good at telling fan fics about myself that apparently come true. 
that’s the end of this blog because I have a short term memory. 
comment, like and subscribe and let me know your favorite adjective.
