My first week in
London has definitely been a wonderful experience thus far. However, the far
most interesting/strange new experience for me has to be “The Tube”. It isn’t
strange because of how fast paced everything is, or even the multiple ways to
get lost. The most interesting thing about the tube is the amount of different
types of cultures you see while taking it. Earlier this week I hopped on the
tube the last second; and in the process my jacket got stuck in the door. Several
people immediately jumped in to help. One man who couldn’t speak English tried to
pull my coat free from the door. A Muslim woman moved from her spot so I had a
place to stand. And a British man told me that the same thing happened to him
once, then proceeded to help tug my coat out of the door. Despite different cultures, race, gender, religion, ect. It seems that
everyone was willing to help the American. If the tube can be so peaceful in this way, then why cant the rest of the
world? This is what I truly love about London.
