Hahaha, it's cute ;) I was a tourist once and I have never asked anyone for direction. I tried to do my best to look like a Londoner, probably the effect wasn't satisfying ;]

yeah tricky one. again depends on the mood of the day!

but ive been living here three years now and sometimes now still need a map / ask for directions. london is so big, you can't know everywhere even if you live here!

As a tourist I was coming back from the centre of Ealing to the very end of it on foot. (the fact that I'm only 14 is worth mentioning), a black-skinned man started to follow me, I thought that that's my last moment, that in a second I'll be raped or robbed or killed but fortunatey he just wanted to gimme his number and he buyed me some sweets from Nestle. ;) Cute. ;]

For me the fact of BEING in London was the most exciting and thrilling so I really didn't pay much atention on my activities, I was just doing the same things that everyone else.
Once, I the weekend I decied to go and hang around as many places as I could so I took tube and started in Hammersmith, it was such a chill out time, lovely spent. I wasn't doing anything particular, just walking, dreaming, look at people and absorbing this British climat ;)

It seems good. But walking alone is boring I think. I will come there next month but alone. And also I haven't got a friend in there. How can I get friens in there easily?

London isn't famous for being a place where you can make friends easily. Londoners are very wary of other people and won't respond well to random people trying to start a conversation.

I'd recommend you find some social groups or find out where other tourists are, that's always an easy way to make some friends - you've already got one thing in common.

Have a good time.

Thank you very much Mogwai.
Turkish people are very friendly, so I thougt that I can get friends easily. But I didn't know English people. So thank you again for your comment. I will consider it.

why don't you try the social/dating section of the what's on guide on this site... there are some events for people there who are trying to get to know others - could be a good place to start if you're here for a while?? Good luck :thumbsup:

I hate to be a party pooper but never be off guard. Not just in and around London but everywhere. You cant Im afraid be too trusting. It is not a perfect world. Please take care and do not take risks.
