Inside Buckingham Place
This is truly magnificent. All about being royal. The queen of England definitely has a much more elegant and healthier lifestyle than any of the emporers of China. The banquet hall is huge and the tables are arranged meticulously. The 4-course meal (meat, fish, pudding and dessert), which is considered the highest ranking one, doesn't sound so impressive, though, compared with the 8+ course meals that the Chinese are used to.
The London Bus
I love the bus in London. You pay 3.5 pounds to buy a day pass and you can ride on any bug at any time for as many times as you want. So we don't have to worry about taking the wrong bus. Just hop off and hop on another one. If I had the time, I would take random bus rides to see all parts of London. Those double-deckers offer very good views.
A Vegetarian meal
We were getting very hungry and were trying to find Chinatown for a good meal. For some reason we wandered off in the wrong direction and ended up in the Soho district. There was a buffet place at a street corder which looked pretty inviting with good prices. We went in, failing to notice all the "veg" signs. We took a bunch of what looked like meat, only to be greatly disappointed when we got the unexpected taste. Too late to escape. The other dishes are tasteless, too. Well, at least there were a lot of vegetables. After eating eggs and bacons for breakfast everyday, this was a very healthy change.
Olympics at Trafalgar Square
There is a huge TV screen at the square show the Beijing Olympics 24 hours. The 2012 Olympics is going to be in London and the Londoners want to get warmed up. Trafalgar Square is famous for its large flocks of pigeons, but apparently they evacuated due to the big screen, the louder speakers, the the big audience at the square.
