Friends will be friends

Now that we have the stage, let the actors come in!
It's well known that it's very hard to make friends in London, everybody can tell you that, especially londoners themselfs. During my second week in LDN, I met a nice chap on the street, we laughed about a mad woman driving and singing aloud. We spent three hours talking and we ended up having dinner together in a local restaurant. His name is Jon, tall, blond, blue eyes, and as a perfect English gentleman, he is very polite, quite formal, agrees with Her Magesty, drinks hot black tea with a drop of cold milk, shakes hands to say hello, uses words such as "bloody", "indeed" and "lovely"  and of course, he loves his city. When we ended dinner, he gave me his phone number in a piece of paper that says "if you need a friend in London, text me". So I was lucky, but that's kind of an exception actually, and let me tell you that in spite of that, it is very hard to contact him, and when I do, there's always a formal and rather cold answer at the other side. That's just the way they are, polite, friendly, formal and private. That's why it is hard to make friends in LDN, and Jon was the first one to teach me that, a 100% pure Londoner.
So, what can we do about it? An Indian told me: "This is London my friend! there're lost of other things out there." He was talking about restaurants actually, but it applies to many things, such as nationalities!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you to my first friend in LDN Town: Archy Than, a very nice, sweet and friendly girl from Thailand. We met at the family house and "pegamos onda" from the very beginning and we've been going out couple of times since then. NO, she is not my girlfriend! She has her own business going on, we are NOT dating, and we'll NEVER be a couple. Stop those gossips! We are just in the same situation, foreigners in the same city, we've been here for the same period of time and for the reason I already explained above about friends in LDN, we share time in pubs and chat about living here, getting used to different stuff, looking for work, etc.

You can see I'm not alone here, in fact I have good company indeed. And even if I was by myself, I could never feel lonely with such warm, beautiful and lovely letters you gave me before I left, and all your emails and messages in FB you send me every day. Thank you very much indeed. I always think about you and I wish you could be here to share things and moments that remind me of each of you every time I pass by a theatre, a comics shop, a book shop, a restaurant, a museum, etc. And I think to myself, "oh, x'd like this" or "uh if x was here he/she would enjoy it so much!" or "mmm x should try this...".

I love you my dearest friends. See you soon.
