The first few paragraphs of this chapter are very interesting to me. The author discusses the many different people he encounters throughout the day; all who have different ethnical backgrounds, but are still considered Londoners. I think that this is amazing. I know that this is what America is supposed to be, too, but I have not encountered a whole lot of very different people in my life yet. Most of the people that I have met have been from English, German, Norweign, and Irish decent. I'm greatly looking forward to going to this large city with it's huge melting pot of culture. I can't wait to dip my toes in it, so to speak.
I also had no idea about the number of riots that took place around the city in the 1980s. There was a lot of racial tension throughout London and the topic of immigration was often to blame for these numerous riots, injuries, destruction, and deaths.
