Here I am in London. I spend time sitting at my window in my room on the 15th floor. I sit on my bed and look out really big windows at night. I switch the light off and look at all the city lights. It’s one of my last days/ nights in this room. The view is wonderful. The lights are beautiful. I love this city. It drives me nuts. I never have any free time anymore. I love London. Both because and despite itself.

I have never been to another city that is so me. Ok, I absolutely adore Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is beautiful. It has the perfect weather, it has beautiful beaches, it has amazing views and wonderful people. I love it and feel at ease. But Tel Aviv is what I would like to be, not what I actually am.

London is saturated. It’s full. It’s overflowing. Overflowing with good and bad. With beauty and ugliness. Its so ad hoc. There is no plan to its growth. There is no structure. There is, but one that grew ad hoc, that can’t really carry it. It can’t really carry itself. It’s too much for itself to handle. But it still does, has always done, will continue to do so and do so succesfully. It loves itself. It despises itself. It nurtures itself. It mutilates itself. It sarves itself. It feeds itself. It feeds on itself. It loves itself both because and despite itself. I love London.

Ok, yes I’ve been very neglectful (if that’s even a word?!) and I really need tp pick up all the blogging again. But all is good after some tensions on the home front and we are ready and set to blog away again :)

I’ve had my friends David & Sina over which was lovely and I can only hope they enjoyed it as well. Obviously I was working and they came durig the week so I didn’t have too much time to hang with them but did manage to get a meal/ drinks in every night. Then the BF’s mother was in town for a few days (and she is absolutely lovely – I was so scared of meeting her and yes she is very impressive and potentially quite intimidating but still a very impressive and lovely lady), then I had a super stressful week (last week) with many ups-and-downs and now I’m back! :)

I’ve also been updating my other blogs (my many many fashion blogs) – FashioNoa, ShoeNoa, BagNoa and my very brand new YesNoa. All were heavily neglected in the meantime and really need a brush up. I realised that over 80% of my wardrobe is of South Korean origin in the meantime – the remaining 20% being from vintage stores here in London. Sooo, I figured I might as well do an Asia-Fashion blog as well, oh well, lets see how it goes.

I was also out with friends a lot and also went to the Red Bull Air Race which was quite fun and very impressive as well. Currently I’m considering a week in Tel Aviv sometime in September – work/ friends/ weather/ bank account permitting of course, then potentially maybe a few days in glorious NYC at the end of November to go and see Danny…lets see. Originally I was going to fly to Munich for a weekend in September for the Octoberfest but then flights were £ 200+ and for £ 260 I could also fly to beaches and sunshine in the Holy Land and my favouritest city TLV (so not much of a difficult decision as you can understand). But, all out in the open still so lets see when I go where if at all.
