With backpacks for a one night's stay, 19 students, 1 student intern, 2 US counselors tried as best we could to keep up with our fast-walking Scouser-talking group leader. We saw the historical, political, cultural and the every day at the turn of every corner. From protests against the Iranian elections, Hare Krishna parades of people dancing in the streets, impromptu (thanks to Twitter) and illegal memorials of the recently departed Michael Jackson, to those enjoying an easy Sunday morning.London easily holds more than the touristy snap shots of BigBen, Parliament and Buckingham Palace.

London is a global city - seemed like out of every ten people we passed, seven spoke something other than English. London is also super efficient with its busses, tubes and ferries transporting the masses from this way to there.Note to self: This holds true, until there is a delay. Then, watch out, near pandemonium! Photo above is of people waiting on delayed trains in London due to Wimbledon 2009 in Wembely.
