It was the 23rd of July 2005 when I arrived in London for the 1st time . It was only few days after the bomb attack, everybody had suggested me and my friend not to go, but that place was calling us since ever. It was a deserved trip after a long year of study and friendship in Rome, and it was the summer I had to go to live to Danmark for a while.What a better excuse than this to stop over for a couple of days, visit a bit Europe’s capital and then fly to Denmark for a crazy summer in Aarhus… I didn’t know that that trip would have linked me and London forever. Despite we stayed only for few days, I got so amazed by London, that I moved there after 6 months!!!! Even now that I don’t live there anymore ( and I have been living there twice), London remains one of the most memorable places of my lifetime.
This was the page I wrote the day I arrived:
London, July 23rd 2005
I still can’t believe it, I am here since less then 24 hours and not only I already love it, but I feel that when I leave, I will miss London forever.
London took, wrapped and spelled me in 5 hours…and so far I have seen only 2 squares!
Despite the tiredness, I couldn’t sleep at all last night, due to the adrenaline I had, while tonight I feel broken. Together with my friend we are dead tired and tomorrow a new long day is waiting for us. I have seen only few corners of London, few corners of a world that belongs to me since ever. This sensation that cought me unprepared, the feeling of belonging to it. I feel I have found a place I like. And the thought of leaving it kills me. Tomorrow we go to see Freddie Mercury’s house. Here everything tell about him, about his life, of who and how he was.
I feel good and this travel is super cool. In this journey everything is incredibly unreal but also so alive and true. It seems that this freedom I am looking for comes here to rest.
This travel is a free one, like this town, like me, and I needed it because everyone follows what he or she is…
Incredible I am still with no words to describe this feeling. It never happened before.
Have to go now…
