One thing I've noticed while living here in London - People don't smile enough.
People are too busy, stressed, preoccupied, uninterested, half asleep, struggling, bored, brain washed, disconnected. It's actually quite disturbing. There is so little spontaneous human interaction without concern. For such a desirable and potentially awesome place, there's a lot of sadness. I don't want to be sucked into it but I reckon while you're getting paid minimum wage or a little over, life is a struggle here - rent is too high, you can't afford to do everything you would like, you're surrounded by emotionless or stressed people a lot of the time. .
I have been avoiding the tube - getting the bus is better, it may take longer but you can see the sights, not just a concrete hot tunnel.
Maybe i won't stay here long...
