My Neighborhood: South Kensington

South Kensington, London
South Kensington, my neck of the woods for the next few months, is known to be one of the poshest neighborhoods in all of England. And I must say, at first I did feel rather "out of place" living in this area. When does a naive college student ever feel "at home" amongst diplomats and businessmen? Regardless, I absolutely adore the neighborhood. When I'm not passing by immaculate and grand row-homes or foreign embassies, I'm walking around prim private schools for uniform-clad children. Every afternoon there are always young students skipping down the Mercedes-gilded streets.

And to top it all off, some of the most beautiful and world-renowned museums in London are just a couple of blocks away. I'm very much so a museum geek, so I can totally imagine myself spending a quiet day at one of the museums, just enriching my mind while simultaneously taking a breather (which I think I will need quite often here).
