What main languages are spoken here?:

The main language spoken here is English, but London is an international city-there are people from all over the world here. During the week, I hear people speaking French, German, Italian and Norwegian. I even heard people speaking Welsh just last week! 

What type of money is used here?:

The United Kingdom uses the pound which is funny because one pound is actually pretty light (that was a pound pun!).

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A bottle of water costs about one pound which is equivalent to about $1.30 in U.S. dollars. And no, a bottle of water does not weigh one pound (another pound pun (that makes two puns about pounds)!).

What was the best meal this week?:

Oo...my friend from Norway makes this dish with sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and chickpeas, with honey, soy sauce, salt and pepper. I tried it and it immediately became my go-to food this entire week. Yum!

What music did I listen to this week?:

Have any of you heard of Jacob Collier? He's a British singer, pianist, guitarist, drummer, mandolin-ist...the list goes on. He's such a great musician! I bought a ticket to see him in April, and I'm beyond excited. 

What activity was the most fun this week?:

This week, I'm competing in a music competition!
