Nis has hit it spot on in his walkthrough of some of his ‘best and worst’ experiences while studying in London:

The best is getting new friends and remembering that friend-material is constant all over the world – you make friends with the same people here as you would have there. The worst is that all the same chances pass you by whereever you are – the things you don’t do here is the same things you don’t do there.

True, true.
