Allure, unexplained.

It's no secret that I have fallen in love with this city. It's frustrating to discover that I can't accurately describe what makes London so great or properly summarize what the city means to me.

After a few fruitless attempts at trying to describe this great city, I decided to resort to the words of Samuel Johnson, a man far more eloquent than me:

“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life;
for there is in London all that life can afford.”

Though he was speaking about London in the 18th-century, things haven't changed. If anything, his words are more truthful today. I do love London. I will miss the city itself more than anything else. Maybe I'll attempt to write about this amazing place when I’m not so overwhelmed.

Haha, that's from my guidebook. Also, if you can view this, watch this trailer of Sofia Coppola's new movie...it's weird and awesome:
