London-Studienfahrt

London… a few words? Impossible!
First of all, I have to say that I really enjoyed our trip to London.
The country and especially London city left an enormous impression on me. Although it wasn’t the first time I’ve visited England, it was the first time that I recognized the complexity and immense possibilities for the youth.
Monday was one of the most impressive days, which will definitely stay a long time in my mind.
After being on a sight- seeing tour with another group of students, we set out to discover the
City of Big Ben, Westminster Abbey etc.. Personally, it reminds me of Lady Di so, there will always be something magical around London.
The next step, where we went separate ways, was a feast for the eye of every shopaholic. We found our way to the legendary Oxford Street with its huge complex buildings and various shopping possibilities for all ages. Unfortunately, for our purse, it was very expensive and luxurious.
Also as we strolled, we noticed the British with their extremely good taste in fashion. I really liked the open-minded and friendly behavior of the British. They didn’t seem to have xenophobia at all.
But the coronation of the day was the fabulous musical “The Phantom of the Opera”. I was looking forward to this event, since we knew we were going. Indeed it exceeded all expectations. The singer of the opera did an amazing job! The stage setting was made with such an effort and love for detail, which lead to an exciting evening.

We ended our day in a fancy club in London, called “Tiger Tiger”: the queue was pretty long, but it didn’t take us too long to get in. The crowded place showed us how much fun the London-night life makes and we had such a great time.


All in all it was an amazing travel experience for all of us and I’m very thankful for that.
I realized the beauty of the city and I can absolutely imagine spending more time there.

Our trip to London

It’s hard to decide what I liked most about our trip to London. First of all, our sightseeing tour on the second day was really impressive. As I’ve never been there before it was very nice to get a first overview and to see all the important sights at a stretch. It was amazing to see the town’s landmarks like Big Ben or the Tower Bridge, which you know from TV or postcards in reality. Moreover it was very interesting to visit the Westminster Abbey and not only to regard it from the outside, but also to enter as we did on our last day. I have to say it’s beautiful and it’s great to be there and to have a look at the graves of the former kings and queens. And what impressed me a lot in general was that the old buildings and the modern ones with their glass fronts and interesting architecture were at a good fit, in my opinion. Despite the great difference in their age and of course the style I would say there was some kind of harmony between them after all – something I haven’t noticed so much in other cities.


In the evening we have been to the musical “The Phantom of the Opera” and it was stunning. I love musicals and I’ve always wanted to watch this one, because I had already heard many of the songs (not only the most famous one) and I found them absolutely beautiful. Altogether the music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who composed it, is great. Besides the stage design and the special effects were marvelous. That’s no wonder since all (or at least many) of the musical-theatres in London are built solely for one special musical. The best was that, as we were in Britain, it was the English and therefore original version and not a translated one. The story was so touching and the actors played and sang excellently.

All in all, the trip to London was both informative and entertaining and I am really glad I’ve taken part in it.
