London the Rhapsody capital of the world

I have lived in London since 1981 and I have yet to hearing a Londoner or a tourist to complain about the cold in the winter season on their way to visit the Tower of London to get acquainted with its guardians, the Beefeaters and crows. Still, those who did had a good enough reason for doing so, in years gone by, are no longer able to gain support for their plaintive cry. Come here! Lend me your ears and I tell you something for nothing; London is in my view the best place to be at this time of the year. Pubs are open all day in London and Christmas' day is a date worth of experiencing in London. Whatever it is that gets you going London has it tailor-made for you. There are thousands of years of history to discover and all there is to see and experience in just one city. Make no mistakes about it, Yeah!  It will astound you. London offers also a life experience of events of a period far back in time, which awakes unconscious appreciation for fairy tale castles and traditional stories, art and literature of an immeasurable scale. Indeed, it is like living a dream under the magical influence of surrealism but in the presence of real-time circumstances. Certainly, it is very amusing to call a city intoxicating but that is exactly what London is, it is nothing short of mind-blowing and the zest for living and infectious candour of its extraordinary people would beckon you to be part of its continual celebration, and it will, I am sure of it, have you soon drinking from the merrymaking glass of passion for jubilation.  Yeah! London is bursting at the seams with rhapsody and if you don't know what rhapsody is London is the place to find out.  I cannot put into words how wonderful my experience in London Town has been but I can tell you this much, one day I made up my mind that I was to learn British English and came to London on a whim really, and it turned out to be a good move since I am still having a whale of a time in old London.

 

Celts, Picts, Scots, Romans, Jutes, Angles,Saxons, Vikings, Normans, men and women of good minds in Europe and the world all surrendered, in years gone by, to London's magical spell, and its exposure to those spicy fusion of luminous cultures provided its people with great assimilation, buoyancy, forbearance and a playful disposition which delights much the fancy and the spirit of the visitors but it must be said that they have worked terribly hard to put a show for all its guests. Therefore, be assured of being received with open arms by amiable people who would be more than pleased to spare you all the time in the world to making your stay an incomparable one. Come and enjoy in full the experience, the zest and passion for life in London. Having said that London isn't just a wonderful place to visit but it is as well a very fine city to work and live. Nevertheless, what makes London the best place to be in the world right now in my judgement is its great multicultural diversity where many languages are spoken besides English. Be assure of rapturous reception since Londoners will make you feel at home the moment you arrive. Make no mistakes about If there is such a thing as heaven on earth London is it.
