Writing Journal 1: My visits to the United Kingdom

    I think I was sixteen years old the first time I visited the United Kingdom. It was the place I had always dreaming about visiting, maybe since I watched 101 Dalmatians as a kid (I had a tape of the one where Glenn Close played Cruella, and I think it was in English, actually). Since that first time, I've been to the UK at least six or seven times, once or twice a year before COVID, because my father moved there five years ago, and now, my younger brother lives there too. I've been to London, Cambridge, Stonehenge, Peterborough... but London will always be my favorite city in the world. 

    Although the weather is usually awful (one day it hailed, rained, the sun shined... it was absolutely crazy), I always enjoy walking around London and sightseeing. One of my favourite things are the museums, as an historian, I absolutely love the British Museum and the Natural History Museum, to name some of them (because there's a lot). Nevertheless, I think the thing I like the most might be shopping, not for clothes or things like that, but shopping in Waterstones and in a shop called Forbidden Planet (the first time I saw it I almost jumped off the coach). There's so many books and comics, and they're so much cheaper than in Spain... Usually, I arrive at the airport with hand luggage and then I leave with two big suitcases because I can't help but buy a lot of books, merchandise, CDs, vinyls, posters... it's heaven.
