British Museum

This Museum was amazing.  It is huge has all sorts of artifacts and is free to the public.  It is crazy how much history is in this place.   I spent about 3 hours here and just covered the 1st floor.



































Fish & Chips / Spitfire Ale

Had the obligatory fish and chips while in England at the Bloomsbury Tavern.  Did not expect it to be one large fillet.  It was great!




London and the Underground - First Impressions

Complicated Tubes and Hot Trains are the story here.  It took me a while to figure out how to transport myself around here.  Once I walked around a bit it was fairly easy.  These tubes are not as fancy and clean as the ones in Asia, but they were very efficient.  People seemed nice and everyone seemed pretty happy.

Few things I noticed so far.  There is hardly any homeless people.  I actually just saw one and took his picture.   All the cross walks ask you to look left (thanks London for caring about foreigners), and if you are in a phone booth you can definitely call for some company. 

All in all a very nice place.
