There were just tons of people on the streets and a majority of them were tourists from all over the world.

Like me they too were getting a feel of the city. For me it was reliving the three visits I’ve made to London in the past. For them it probably would be what their new life would be from then on.

Don’t be surprised if I were to tell you that there have been occasions where you almost land a smacking accidental ‘kiss’ on a total stranger who didn’t even appreciate it.
