Terorist bombings become so much more personal when you've been in the affected city and taken those subways and buses.
We'd leave our hotel after eight in the morning and stroll to the nearest tube station, South Kensington to watch the tail end of the rush hour crowd before we boarded.
You'd see beautifully dressed men and women looking rushed, carelessly dressed people looking less rushed and lots of mums hurrying their kids along. The little girls wore blue and white checked pinafores and the boys wore the usual grey trousers and white shirts.
The double decker buses were as crowded as humanly possible and everyone seeemd to have a purpose as they rushed along.
No matter how hard they try those cowards will never destroy the heart of that city.
