Julia's Mexico City

Now that I'm a commuter in London, I am using an Oyster card. I ride bus #19 from Clerkenwell to Soho and it's quite pleasant. A little more crowded in the mornings than in the evenings, but very convenient. Very refreshing to live/work in a city with great public transport. I was going to use the tube, but it is MUCH more crowded (and a lot dirtier) than the bus. The tube is more fun when you are a tourist and not traveling at peak hours. I read about the Oyster card on the Metroblogging London website.

Yesterday, my first full day in London, I had a celebrity sighting -- Annie Lennox.
A great start to my stay here.
