Dear family and friends,
Living in London at the times of the Olympics is very exciting! Since two weeks I am part of this special summer in England. During this time I have been working as a volunteer for the Olympics and enjoying my days off with meeting people, strolling through London, going to the theatre, going to church (hihi, that’s a pub) and getting to know different parts of London such as Muswell Hill, Golders Hill Park, River Lea or Campden Market. I am having a great time!
I wish you all a very happy summer.
Monika
