I remember visiting the Tate Modern when I first went to London. I was genuinely stunned by its beauty and size. It was in 2014 and it was a school trip. I think it used to be a factory and I found it amazing, the way they redecorated the place and were able to turn an old abandoned factory into something modern, original and lively. The exhibitions mostly deal with contemporary art, it was great to admire famous works of art by notorious painters. The most striking one to my mind was definitely Paul Klee's painting, ‘Walpurgisnacht’. At first, I couldn't figure out what it was but after a while staring at it I could figure out that the dark colors represented the night. It reminded me of the series Games of thrones and its various dark settings. 

As a street art piece of work I’ve chosen the elephant-octopus, I don't really know who painted it. It's a mural in Shoreditch where we can see an elephant, it's a bit strange because it has numerous trunks which makes it -in my opinion- an elephant-octopus. It doesn't really convey a social message, it's more of an amusing painting. The elephant-octopus seems to be underwater because the background is blue. The artist must have used a stencil because it's very precise and detailed. I would say it's a rather funny and interesting painting. Mostly because it makes me wonder why the artist chose to mix those two animals but then I think it's not really supposed to make much sense. It's a bit frightening because it's a large work of art, and the octopus isn't a very appealing animal, mostly because of the way it looks. I have to say I wouldn't be comfy around one. The street artist made an interesting choice which I found attractive and modern although it surprised me when I first saw it.

I'd love to live in London because of the special atmosphere there. It's just so reinvigorating and soothing. I love how people feel free to dress anyway they want. I just feel like people do not fear judgment and feel confident about their fashion choices, I think there is a different energy.
The weather isn't so bad, I don't think it's that different from Paris, it's true that London streets don't look like the Paris one's but they have their own charm. 
Turns out I also love shopping, London is the perfect place for that! Moreover, I'm also a huge fan of pubs, I've never been to one but let's say I enjoy the concept. As soon as I go back there, I'll try one out (I'll drink tea of course, British obligations). 
I think I'm fond of everything London represents, I would like to study there, or near London at least so that I can try to live a British life for a while, I'd also be closer to my brother who lives on the east side of London. He's my age (complicated blended family), and we talk very often but we don't get to see each other more than twice a year! I'm sure he knows every 'hype' and trendy place there since he's always hanging outside with his lads. I can't wait to go back to London!
