Money

Its strange how diverse and divided things are. You see it some back at home, how the fancy old houses near Brookside fade into well, the projects. But nothing prepares you for the disparity you will see here. Since most of our travel is below ground I guess it never really hit me, but got lost riding home last week, half of London was closed for a triathlon or parade or something, that's not the point. Anyway ended up riding through knightsbridge, past the $100 million apartments, and designer stores. Literally five blocks away is a Council Block where people are living for free. The amount of money spent in the shops in a couple of minutes is probably more than the entire council block makes in a year.

This is an example of the craziness. As a waited in traffic in the span of five minutes saw, two Ferraris, a Lamborghini, and this monstrosity.

Apparently owned by Yazeed Al-rajhi, some super rich bank owner' son. Just one of the 4 or 5 cars he brings to London in the summer to escape the heat. Knightsbridge has to be just about the only place in the world where you have to paint your Bentley bright pink to not blend into the crowd.
