Reading - turns out it's a London suburb. You can get there by metro and train. Following old British tradition, your metro card doesn't work for the exit only, fuck, in Reading, you need a separate ticket
Train goes about 40 minutes, fine. Lots of people, sit down early because the train goes to Cambridge (or Hogwarts? Don't know, where the smart kids are). There were many Indians on the train, talking loudly on the phone with video, of course. A Brit sitting near us reading a book got up, went to deal with it, said they were - extremely annoying. Textbooks say Brits are very patient and never say anything directly, that's - in the 18th century. Compared to French, where speech etiquette is really mandatory (if you don't want to come across as a gangsta), British English - it's like in CS:GO
Reading is dull
Seems like the same London
But people are fatter and there's nothing in the city
At the museum (free) discovered cuteness
Historical materials
And the best love confession - a frame made of cookies
Height of gastronomy
I'm home!
Former prison
Current prison
Banksy!
Life's irony: I've been dreaming of walking the Camino for like 15 years, and technically I started it here, in Reading
And the city itself, overall, is nothing special
Half a day, no more
