What main languages are spoken here?:

The main languages that I hear on a daily basis are English, Bengali and Hindi. English is the primary language spoken everywhere, but in East London, it's very common to hear a blend of different languages. 

What type of money is used here?:

The British pound (GBP) is what is accepted. In some tourist places, they MIGHT take the euro, but for the most part, expect to use the pound or a credit card. 

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A bottle of water will cost you around £2, but tap water is always free!

What was the best meal this week?:

My best meal this week was an Ecuadorian dish called llapingachos, which is like a fluffy fried mashed potato!

What music did I listen to this week?:

I actually went to a small performance on Monday, most pubs or bars will have open mics where small local artists perform. I listened to alternative pop music that night. 

What activity was the most fun this week?:

Our school took us to the theater to watch The Lion King! "Theatre", as it is spelled here, is very big in London, and there are many discounts for students. I also went to the Tate Modern Museum for my art history class, which was fun!

What did I read this week?:

Most of what I read was on English common law.
