The summer cold die. * Trying to use cold water to have a shower like I normally did in Uni. I almost died. * Didnt know I had to wave my hand for a bus to stop at a Request stop. The bus didnt stop and just went past. I started crying and I thought to myself it was cause I was black. 26 Likes |

I remember the first time I travelled to the United Kingdom. Was quite young then. Whenever the hostesses (Beautiful Creatures) came to I & my sister with the 'buffalo' asking what we would like to eat & drink..... Didn't hear a word of what she said apart from salad & lemonade (though she mentioned other choices as well). Throughout the flight, I kept asking for salad & lemonade for myself & younger sister who was sat next to me. Although it was a day I'd never forget, I learnt one thing though....being bloated from the lemonade (fizzy drinks in general) didn't go well with my flatulence-inducing salad (depending on your bowels).....the rest is history  Sometimes on thinking back after hearing some friends' experiences, you wonder how quickly things have changed.
