Trip back

So this is it. I am sitting in London Heathrow waiting for my plane home. This last week was really strange. The whole trip felt so surreal that reality didn't sink in until the last night. Everything was so alien to me when I first arrived into Leuven. It was my first time in western Europe, I had absolutely no academic background in any of the classes taken, and no impressions of the people and now it is coming to an end. This week I said my good byes at work. We finally had the ice hockey exhibition. On tuesday I had to stay until 8:00 but it was worth it because I got to meet Yari Kuri, and touch the Stanley Cup. Thursday we took our last final and had a banquet dinner to celebrate our time there. On Friday I flew to London and spent the weekend there before departing today. London is absolutely beautiful. It is one of my favorite cities I have visited. It has a certain New York City hustle and bustle vibe with a European twist. Since I was really only there for one full day I didn't get to see much. I went to London Tower, the Tate Modern Museum, saw Westminster Abby, a few Cathedrals, and Buckingham Palace. Today before leaving we went to regency park too. On Friday night we ate some of the best Indian food I've ever had. It was a great way to spend my last weekend in Europe.
