L o n d o n ! Yay! Let's talk about my favourite place in the world... -some suspense here- ..... LONDON! Haha I've been there just once, when I was 14 years old, instead of having this big party, Latin America people are used to celebrate for 15th birthdays, I decided to make my biggest dream (which, by then, was going to London, England) come true. The whole experience was absolutely amazing. I travelled with my mum, who has no idea of English, she doesn't even say "Hello", imagine that! So comunicating with everyone was on my shoulders, and I was only 14, my English wasn't that good in that moment, and due to that, we got lost several times (my favourite "lost experience" was when we caught the bus from Victoria -I think it was that one, I can't remember clearly- and we were there, on the bus all the way to Brixton, we had no idea where we were at, and I was too shy to ask the driver how to go back to the City. My mum went nuts. And basically we spent nearly 3 hours on buses until we were able to come back!! It was fun!). I loved every inch of what I visited, everyone was so kind with us, that was unexpected for me, because in my country (where not everybody likes british people) I've always been told that in the UK people are cold and really unfriendly. My experience has proven me not. I came back to Argentina, with tears in my eyes - I really wanted to stay there forever!- but completely delighted about the trip I had done. And now I'm willing -and I will do it, for sure- to travel again to London, but with friends this time. So I can share with them this amazing city.

Yay! Let's talk about my favourite place in the world... -some suspense here- ..... LONDON! Haha

I've been there just once, when I was 14 years old. Instead of having this big party (which Latin American people typically have to celebrate their fifteenth birthday), I decided to make my biggest dream (which, at the time, was going to London, England) come true.
The whole experience was absolutely amazing. I travelled with my mum, who cannot speak English at all. She can't even say "Hello!" So, communicating with everyone was up to me, and I was only 14... My English wasn't that good at the time, and as a result, we got lost several times (my favourite "lost experience" was when we caught the bus from Victoria -I think it was that one, I can't remember clearly- and we were there, on the bus all the way to Brixton, we had no idea where we were at, and I was too shy to ask the driver how to go back to the City. My mum went nuts. And basically we spent nearly 3 hours on buses until we were able to come back!! It was fun!).

I loved every inch of what I visited. Everyone was so kind to us, which I did not expect because in my country (where not everybody likes British people), I've always been told that in the UK people are cold and really unfriendly. My experience disproved that. I came back to Argentina with tears in my eyes: I really wanted to stay there forever! Still, I was delighted with my trip.

And now I'm determined to travel again to London, but with friends this time. Then I can share this amazing city with them.

Yay! Let's talk about my favourite place in the world... -some suspense here- ..... LONDON! Haha

I've been there just once, when I was 14 years old. Instead of having this my big party at 15 (in Latin America people are used to celebrating the e for 15th birthdays), I decided to make my biggest dream (which, by then, was going to London, England) come true.
The whole experience was absolutely amazing. I travelled with my mum, who has no idea of English, she doesn't even say "Hello", imagine that! So communicating with everyone was on my shoulders, and I was only 14, my English wasn't that good then in that moment, and due to that, we got lost several times (my favourite "lost experience" was when we caught the bus from Victoria station(?) -I think it was that one, I can't remember clearly- and we were there, on the bus all the way to Brixton, we had no idea where we were at, and I was too shy to ask the driver how to go back to the City) (haha, the missing parenthesis, after a long digression!).  My mum went nuts. And basically we spent nearly 3 hours on buses until we were able to come back!! It was fun!) (ah! here it is after all!  but you started in mid-sentence!).

I loved every inch of whatever I visited, everyone was so kind with to us, that was unexpected for me, because in my country (where not everybody likes British people) I've always been told that in the UK people are cold and really unfriendly. My experience has proven the opposite to me not. I came back to Argentina, with tears in my eyes - I really wanted to stay there forever!- but completely delighted about the trip I had made done.

And now I'm willing - and I will do it, for sure - to travel again to London, but with friends this time. So I can share with them this amazing city.

 

I think you overuse dashes and parentheses, and make the sentences a little too convoluted; but then that's just my impression.

Hello Florencia! My name is Irina. I live in Russia. I liked your story about the trip to London. My younger son went to London two months ago. He is 16 years old. He received a lot of positive emotions and saw the sights of London. I would like to go to London, too. I hope my dream come true.

I can't figure out how people can hate that city, and with people I mean argentinians. Haha
