London to Amsterdam . . .
In response to the questions pertaining to my posts (you wanna learn what a man whore is, google it):
-Dreamgirls is a pretty good movie. Goes without saying that the music is especially good.
-Europe continues to be a much more religiously-focused land than North America. Thus, many places close on Sundays, whether they be shops, banks, markets . . . apparently even Starbucks. I think we did find one that was open later, though . . .
I think I'm not gonna comment on every single thing mentioned unless there is actual desire for elaboration. That cool? Cool.
The next bit of journal should finish off my adventures in London/England in general and bites into the very, very early period of my European Discovery tour with Contiki:
London (May 14):
- Natural History Museum . . .
- . . . I miss going through my dinosaur-phase . . .
- Victoria & Albert Museum . . . damn, lotsa stuff . . . (changed batteries here!)
- Evidently, Big Ben is bloody big!
- Westminster Abbey? Also quite big.
- Chaucer's Tomb!!!
- Buckingham Palace's guards are a lot more contemporary than I thought . . .
- Enfield SA80 rifles are badass . . .
- Picadilly Circus . . . a.k.a. Midgar from FFVII! (Mouthy old guy here . . .)
- Canada House . . . heh, go fig!
- Trafalgar Square . . . Nelson rules . . .
- "Kentucky Chinese Pizza..." . . . (Heh, Pepsi bottle . . .)
London (May 15):
- Imperial War Museum . . . Greatest place EVER!!! (Didn't mean to spend so long . . . but . . . . . Trench Experience!)
