My Madrid, My London

Lisa, who was with us last week, has lived in Madrid and now lives in Grasse.  Here is her comparison of Madrid and London.

Madrid and London are very similar.  They are both capitals of countries, and the two cities have very big airports.  The shopping is also very good in both Madrid and London, and a lot of people visit the two cities for business and tourism.  Furthermore, Madrid and London both have a lot of green areas and museums.



The two cities are also very different.  London is bigger than Madrid.  As well as more people, there are more metros/Tube lines in London.  The people in London are also more diverse.  When I walk through the streets of London, I hear Spanish, English, French, Chinese etc.  When I walk through the streets of Madrid, I hear mostly Spanish, English and French.  Also in London, the people start and end their days earlier.  In Madrid, the day normally starts at 9am.  At 11am, they usually have coffee and eat their lunches at 3pm or 4pm.  They have dinner at 9pm or 10pm and go to bed at 11pm or midnight.  How people live in these cities is very different.
