My other cousin lives in London with her husband and four children. I went up and visited them, as well as a friend of mine, James, who lives in a suburb on the edge of the city. Life in London is much more congested and expensive than the coast. I loved it when my friend took me on walks through his neighborhood and local parks. I just adored seeing the little shops and strips of houses with colorful doors that filled the sides of the narrow streets near his house.
People tend to support the same team their whole lives.
I never know which team to cheer for since I have such a diverse influence from my family and friends in England. My friend supports a team called Chelsea, my cousins support a team called the Tottenham Hotspurs, and my other cousins support a team called Arsenal. Everyone in England supports their chosen team with dedication. I had lots of laughs witnessing the debates my English relatives would have with one another over which football club was the greatest. In the evenings London becomes a very colorful, energizing place.
