A bit of history. Cape Town was discovered thanks to the search for a new trade route from Europe to India in the 15th century. The name Cape Town translates to "cape-city," located at the edge of the Cape of Good Hope. Today, more than 4 million people live in Cape Town. It is a port city in the southwest of the Republic of South Africa, situated on the Cape Peninsula, washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Table Mountain towers over the city, with a cable car leading to its flat summit. From there, you get a stunning view of the city, the harbor where yachts dock, and Robben Island, famous for its museum in the building of the infamous prison where Nelson Mandela was once incarcerated. My favorite activity was going to the shopping mall; you can have a delicious meal there, exchange money safely, and, of course, go shopping. There are 2 large malls in Cape Town: Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre and Canal Walk. I recommend visiting both, and the first one is located by the port, offering a gorgeous view of the ocean. Once, we were lucky enough to catch a Maroon 5 concert at the Cape Town Stadium (the very stadium where the 2010 FIFA World Cup took place)! Also, during my stay there, I managed to visit The Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach (a beach where penguins have lived since 1982), and Bo-Kaap (a neighborhood of colorful houses in Cape Town).

...Although the weather was surprisingly sunny and warm all week that I spent in London. Walking around London is a special pleasure. Tower Bridge is the most famous bridge in London, being one of the city's symbols. Tower Bridge differs from all other London bridges and indeed all bridges over the Thames in the following way: it is the lowest bridge on the Thames and the only one of all the bridges that is a bascule bridge. The bridge got its name due to its proximity to the Tower of London: the northern end of the bridge is located near the southeast corner of the Tower. St. Paul's Cathedral is located at the highest point in London. This largest Anglican church in Europe is the seat of the Bishop of London. The cathedral's dome has become one of London's main attractions. Traditionally, St. Paul's is the burial place of the most famous citizens of Great Britain, including the architect Christopher Wren, who built this cathedral. There is no monument on his grave, only an inscription on the tombstone: "Reader, if you seek his monument, look around you." You don't have to have royal roots, but you always want to see a luxurious palace. Especially if it's Buckingham Palace in London! The palace is unique not only for its grandeur but also because it hosts official ceremonies and events of the Royal Family, and tourists come here for tours. Although, it is almost always closed to the public. There are many museums in London: the British Museum, the Westminster Abbey Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum in London, and the Sherlock Holmes Museum. Admission is almost free everywhere. According to the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr. Watson lived in an apartment at 221b Baker Street between 1881 and 1904. At the time these works were written, such an address did not exist in London. But later, when Baker Street was extended to the north, a house with that address appeared, where the Sherlock Holmes Museum is currently located. Having lived in London for a week, I still didn't manage to see all the sights of this city. Too many museums, too many places to visit, too little time. But my journey didn't end there. Ahead are Liverpool, Blackburn, Chester, and Manchester.

As you all know, London is the architectural capital of the world. A city where you definitely won't have time to be bored) Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster complex with its clock tower, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square filled with pigeons—this is all the capital of Great Britain. People go there to admire the architecture, walk through the halls of the British Museum and the Tate Gallery, shop for extravagant English clothes, and simply watch the fog-covered Thames from a bridge. It took me a whole day, sometimes even more, to visit just one museum. I lived near Hyde Park and couldn't deny myself the pleasure of going there every day to feed the local wildlife (birds and squirrels). Fortunately, almost all museums in London are free, with the exception of places like Madame Tussauds, the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and the Harry Potter studio. You must go see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. But we didn't manage to take a photo with either a Life Guard or a Beefeater. Other entertainment in the English capital hits the wallet hard. A ride on the London Eye costs about 30 pounds (approx. 42 USD). A tour of the Abbey is about 20 pounds. Big Ben, the voice of London, has been showing the exact time since 1859. Construction of the 320-foot clock tower began in 1837 upon the accession of Queen Victoria. At that time, the Parliament buildings, damaged by a fire in 1834, were being reconstructed. The clock designer, Sir Edmund Grimthorpe, an architect and clockmaker, passed away before the 13.5-ton bell was installed behind the four clock faces, each with an area of 23 square feet. As for entertainment... It is definitely worth spending money on a trip to a pub. Surprisingly, the British know how to have fun and relax. And if you want to spend the evening at home, they simply won't let you do it. By the way, hostels are the perfect place for students, especially if you are traveling alone. There are a bunch of other students there looking for part-time work or permanent housing. If you aren't afraid of living in a room with other people, then this is the place for you. If you can't book accommodation online, no worries. You can do it right on the spot. Walking around the city, you will find plenty of offers at a reasonable price. Have fun, guys! http://www.2uk.ru/city/city2

I didn't even think I would be so comfortable in America; everything went perfectly. It was fun, I practiced my English, I didn't get sick, and I didn't gain weight) I earned good money, learned a ton of new information, and traveled. We often went to Boston together. Oh, and what a time that was) I fell in love with Boston so much. You know, it's a mix of a big, noisy city and a calm beach area. It's so beautiful and clean there! So peaceful and at the same time, it has an active pace of life. * I attended a Linkin Park and 30 Seconds to Mars concert in Mansfield. It was my dream; I grew up listening to their songs. And here you are, with a bunch of American fans, rocking out at a live concert, and you just can't believe it all* That's how our summer went, in a work-party mode. But don't be afraid of the work. I didn't witness a single instance of negativity towards the staff. On the contrary, all the guests try to lift your spirits. They look at your name tag and say, "Oh, my name is Victoria too, how cool," or just gesture for you to smile, joke around, or ask how you're doing, etc. In general, they show attention, and that's nice. And our tips were good. Sometimes you didn't even need to cash your pay check. Me and Felix from the Dominican Republic, who lived with us. I love him very much and we still talk to this day=) And that flag with his wishes is sitting on my windowsill in the dorm. *Everyone chooses for themselves how they will spend their time. Everyone shapes their own summer. I met students who didn't like anything at all. I don't know why; either they didn't do anything to make their stay overseas happy, or they were just moody and pessimistic * Below in the photo are the four (the fifth left us after a month) main heroines of this story (the frogs) and our new friends=)

Upon arriving at Gatwick Airport, I must admit I was surprised by the beautiful weather, especially after the torrential rains in Moscow :) Getting to the city center was easy; National Express buses run from the airport to Victoria station every hour, and I took one of them, arriving in about an hour to an hour and a half. The place where I stayed is near the Stepney Green tube station, which is easily accessible via the District line. A single tube ride is quite expensive—nearly 5 pounds—but if you buy an Oyster card to pay for your trips, it works out cheaper; a single ride within the first and second zones is approximately 2.5 pounds. Costs depend on the time of travel and distance; exact fares can be checked on the Transport for London website. I arrived on Saturday evening, while classes at the school didn't start until Monday, so I had some time to settle in and visit a number of places I was interested in. The next morning, I headed to the very heart of the city, where a large number of exciting and historically significant places are concentrated: Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street, St. Paul's Cathedral, and many other memorable and very beautiful spots. This trip is my second visit to London, so it was especially pleasant to wander through familiar places that haven't changed at all over the years. Not far from Big Ben, I met a young man from Moscow who, like me, was walking through the old streets of the city, inspired by the warm Sunday evening. We decided to walk together to Tower Bridge and the City; these are stunning places that I hadn't managed to reach during my previous trip. We finished our walk with a late, hearty dinner at a cafe near St. Paul's Cathedral. It is worth noting that there are 24-hour buses running in London, so you don't have to worry about the exorbitant prices of cabs when trying to get somewhere after the tube closes.
