Five-day tour in London 10.

I have been back for two or three days, but I still can't update my blog because there are too many things. When I was in London, I didn't bring my laptop (of course, I stayed in the guest house on the edge of Zone 2, or the six rooms facing the cemetery. How dare I bring it? _). The only thing I wrote down was a few postcards that I had forgotten. I wrote down many ideas when I queued to enter the House of Lords. Anyway, write down my trip to London while my memory is still there.

Day 1 day: I arrived in London at 1: 30 in the afternoon after a three-hour bus ride (the ticket I booked was 1). Everything costs money in the information center of Victoria coach station. So I gave up, took out my prepared map and started my trip to London. I asked several people to make sure that I was not going in the wrong direction. I passed the queen's stable (which really stinks) and came to Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, it is only open to the public in August and September every year. Pass by St. James Park, see St. James Palace, detour back to websminster Bridge, stand on the bridge and enjoy the London Eye in the distance, because I didn't plan to go. I saw the lovely Big Ben (not stupid). Back in Wit Hall, I found many statues in the White Hall to visit Downing Street 10. Unfortunately, I don't know who they are. 10 Many people are holding signs outside the gate. Unfortunately, I dare not take pictures for fear of being bullied by the crowd. Go all the way along Whitehall and sweep the banquet hall and other scenic spots. I was still excited at this time, and I didn't feel the bag behind me was heavy at all. Go, go, go north. I came to St. jaafar Square. Well, it's famous, but I don't think it's unusual. Passing liecester Square, I saw the so-called soho area. Okay, I'm close to my destination, LSE. Before I arrived, I ate something in M 'Ji, met SP and chatted with him for a while. At 5: 30 in the evening, open evening met pencil, but it was only an hour in a hurry, and everyone separated. I stayed in a friend's dormitory at night, and I felt more than N during the period, but it was a private matter and I was not here.

Statistics: I don't feel tired walking more than 5 kilometers with a load today. It may be very high. I was really excited when I first started to leave. So I can't help calling back to China. The biggest problem with playing alone is that no one shares it when you are excited.

The next day: I left my friend's dormitory and bought a three-day pass (/kloc-more than 0/5 kg is ok). I went to the guest house first and put down my clothes and other heavy objects. The place where I live is really a bit dirty, but it is really next to the subway. Unexpectedly, even if I travel at night, it is safe. And 10 is really cheap for one night. So, not bad ... booming, using the subway to my destination, St. Paul's Cathedral. The church is really beautiful. Diana's wedding was held here. I stayed in the church for a long time, almost three hours. The audit guide here is actually in Chinese, so I rented one for 3 pounds and listened to the story here quietly. I whispered a few words in Chinese in the whisper gallery. I wonder if the people I travel with can understand Chinese. Finally, climb the stone gallery and the gold gallery and overlook the city of London. It was a bit windy that day. At an altitude of 100 meters, I sat in a chair and chewed a muffin and an apple. Let's count lunch Then I left Sao Paulo.

Leave Sao Paulo and continue along the map. Think of it as hiking in old London. After going eastward through many scenic spots such as the Bank of England, I saw the buildings designed by the designers in Pompidou, Paris. It's ugly, and it's a scenic spot (Khan ...). I stopped and saw the fire monument. It was this fire that burned today's beautiful London. However, the previous casualties were also tragic. Cross the bridge (London Bridge) to the south bank.

There are not many famous scenic spots on the south bank, except the East End. But I have my destination. I went to the South Walking Cathedral, the church where Shakespeare worships and works, and passed an unknown open-air market, where I saw what the real locals ate and drank. I went to that place called Lxxxxxxx Market (I forgot the name). /kloc-In the 8th century, China's silk and tea landed in London and Europe after sailing to Wan Li. After turning the corner, I returned to the river, and it was almost dark. The sunset glow here is not as gorgeous as ours, but reddish, and the moon is beautiful. There is a relatively modern city hall nearby, and one of the uploaded photos is an egg-shaped building with a tower bridge. It was almost 5: 30 when the river was completely dark. Walk quickly to London Bridge Station and go to my planned destination, West End.

When I came to the West District (located in soho District), I found that even the so-called discount tickets were still very expensive. I took a pamphlet and studied carefully which one to read. I spent half an hour researching and sat quietly on the M-Book for a while. It's so boring, I found that it was actually the last day of BFI London Film Festival. Well, there will be more than 300 movies during this period, which is really good. Many people gathered in front of a cinema because it was said that there would be stars coming. Looking around for a while, the location is not good, only to see the crowds surging. At 6: 45, I went to one of the booking centers and decided to buy a ticket for Les Miserables. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with the computer in the booking center, and I can't find a seat or something. So the man said, go to that theater and buy it yourself. Poor me, it took me 20 minutes to get to the cinema through China City. The best ticket to the theater costs 50 pounds, and I am greedy to give my first musical the best experience. So he walked out of the theatre and stood outside, trying to spend the 50 pounds. As a result, I saw scalpers! ! ! ! ! ! I didn't expect this kind of good thing to happen in Britain. Close the deal right in front of the theater. Twenty pounds! ! ! Stage! ! Middle position! ! ! Well done! ! !

Day 3: Today, I came to Westminster Abbey. People in western countries are very different from us. If we want to commemorate a person, we will never let future generations trample on their places or put them within reach (grave robbers are so easy to mix). The overall feeling of Westminster Abbey is not as shocking as St Paul's Abbey. The overall feeling is gloomy, probably because there are too many dead people. The last funeral that attracted worldwide attention was probably Diana, but she was not buried in Westminster Abbey. In fact, the modern royal family prefers to be buried in the palace. For Westminster Abbey, perhaps I am more interested in my favorite poet's corner. In fact, there are not only poets but also writers. My dear Jane Eyre has only a few simple lines and doesn't even have a picture. Very sad.

Westminster Abbey came out and went to my destination, the Parliament Building. Why not? Just to experience real politics. It was Friday, just in time, and only the House of Lords opened.

The following text is taken from the notes of the day:

Line up in the warm sunshine for 20 minutes, and continue to line up indoors. There is even a security check, and it is quite strict. You have to search yourself, just like a common scene in Hollywood movies. I can't help but wonder, although the person who searched me is a woman, if I am a lesbian, will I feel violated (suddenly remembering the scene in Crash). Sit here and wait, I wonder if we can visit the Great Hall of the People at will? If I were an ordinary citizen of London, would I be a quiet listener in my spare time? On the one hand, I think western democracy is indeed more open-minded than ours. On the other hand, as a consequentialist, I think that all democracy is just a few people's politics, power struggle and the winner's game. However, the voice in my heart is fighting again, saying that with a more sound system, the voice of the people can finally gather sand into a tower and promote social progress. Another voice jumped out of the debate: Who knows that these so-called "voices" are not made by elites with ideological tools? In fact, these questions not only have no answers, but also have nothing to do with myself, my future, work, life and study. Thinking of seeing F in Central Hong Kong. . (a cult organization), the student union community here also saw their figure, and saw the so-called reactionary newspaper at the bus stop in Leicester. I know they are biased, but it is interesting to compare them. Maybe closer to the truth. All right, that's it. You can go in.

At that time, you were not allowed to bring anything in. After sitting quietly for half an hour, you find that you don't understand it very well. I just feel good. National affairs are being discussed five or six meters away from me. The queen's throne is glittering, but the whole house of lords is relatively dark. Without too much light and shadow, maybe all politics is dark.

Coming out of parliament, the sun is dazzling outside. The parliament building and Big Ben are connected together, and I am dazzled by the beauty. This city is destined to make me fall in love with him. The sunshine these days is so beautiful that it makes no sense. What part of London is this? Where is foggy, rainy and gloomy London? Is this London in Dickens' best and worst times? Really? What a beautiful and radiant gentleman, isn't he? Fate, let me this sentimental China chick fall in love with him. In the dazzling sunshine, I walked under the lawn outside the parliament and quickly stepped into the dark subway (in the subway, on the track, I saw the mouse! Unexpectedly, it is understandable that I have worked hard for 100 years. I crossed the abdomen of London and came to my other destination-the National Gallery. More than three hours is close to four hours, which is not enough! Why not drive a little longer? It closes at six o'clock. After that, I went to Picadllity circus to eat Burger King (it's really delicious and expensive, so I'd better remember M) and eat it in front of that small, dark Cupid. Looking at Cupid, I thought of a dear classmate. So later, I specially selected a postcard with picadilly circus watermark and sent it to him.

National Gallery:

This is the first museum, art gallery and other buildings I visited here. It's just a special exhibition from Monet to Picasso that makes me wander back and forth. The National Gallery is very big. It is hard to imagine that such an art gallery with thousands of paintings has the ability to give each painting a multi-language audio tour for five to ten minutes. I'm not happy to find that there are Japanese but no China people. What a huge project it is. Besides, it's free, but I suggest you donate three pounds. It's really interesting to think about the history of the National Gallery. At that time, all countries in Europe had galleries, but Britain didn't, which really hurt the country. So fundraising was established, and the initial fundraising relied entirely on state donations. Now, stand here and accept the worship of my little girl. I only know a little about fur, and I just pretend to appreciate it in this "elegant hall" because I read some books on art history in my original elective course. I can't help feeling that people who grew up in London are so happy. The infection of art to a person often comes from your unconscious edification. This is the meaning of aesthetics. Thinking of my little uncle who studied painting since childhood, I can't help but feel very lucky. If he has a chance to come, he will jump with excitement. I chose a Venus &; Postcard, a famous painting of Mars, for him, because it is said that the West used to like to hang pictures of Venus and Mars in the newlyweds' rooms, which hurt my little uncle the most. He intends to get married at the end of the year. Hehe, I feel that my choice is very interesting.

Here, my feet are very tired, and my brain is also very tired, because it is not easy to concentrate on listening to the highlights, although the speed is not fast. Every time I see those paintings I know, I'm really excited. All original works! ! Monet, needless to say, I love him. Van Gogh, the sunflower is standing in front of me. However, what I like best is the picture "Wheat Fields with Cypress Trees". The whole world is changing, and the ruthless wind seems to want to tear everything apart, even the pale blue mountains in the distance are vacillating. This is fate, right? Even if you think many things are rock solid, the world is still changing. This hurricane can change everything. This is the state of my life now. I don't know where the wind is blowing.

Day 4: I went to the Tower of London for three hours today. Personally, I think it is the worst place in this trip. I've heard those stories for a long time. Those conspiracies and our own history books are more exciting, so for me, the Tower of London is a boring place, super boring. Such a shabby place is also the birthplace of the British royal family. There are more people than people and more dead people. Was our prosperity beyond their imagination? Seeing those fat crows, my only thought is, do you know they are delicious? If roasted, will it be as delicious as squab (God, I miss squab so much). Royal jewels are the only thing that impressed me deeply. Those sparkling diamond crowns are really beautiful. But what's the use of these? It's not as good as a delicious pigeon, or may flower cheese lobster (I chatted with an Australian today and found that they don't eat lobster very often, so I bought them all for us, lol).

V & the Tower of London came out and went to a museum in V &. The interesting thing about this museum is that there are many articles for daily use and handicrafts. The purpose of origin is more practical. At that time, Queen Victoria's husband Albert wanted to promote the development of industrial level and founded it after the then "World Expo". In this museum, I listened to a teacher of the Royal Academy of Art (she is a volunteer tour guide once a month) introduce the history and story of this museum, touched the vase of the Tang Dynasty (yes, some exhibits can be touched for visitors to have a more personal experience), watched the outstanding cartoons made by Galeries Lafayette for the church (actually, I think they are painted tiles), compared with the imitations a hundred years later, and saw the authentic official kiln of the Song Dynasty. V & As usual, A is big. As usual, you can't browse carefully. I went out from the inside, but I didn't go into the nearby Natural Museum and the History Museum (God, the building of the History Museum itself is very beautiful, a 300-meter-long Gothic Cathedral). I walked along this road to see what IC looked like, and then I came to the Albert Hall and Albert Memorial, which Queen Victoria built for her husband after his death. Nothing, I'm just looking. How can I put it? The name itself makes me think. The Victoria and Albert Museum feels like a couple's restaurant with a deep warmth.

Then he killed the British Museum:

Writing the British Museum in red is a bit ambivalent. Yes, it's beautiful. But don't forget, this museum was originally a symbol of British conquest of others. The Parthenon should be built on the blue Aegean Sea, not on this magnificent altar. The ridiculous British Museum also printed some small leaflets introducing the Greek government and their disputes. It's a pity that it has been finished for others, otherwise I would have seen it. Egypt Pavilion is equally beautiful. It's a pity that I'm not so interested in mummies, otherwise I would be very excited. The only thing that makes me happy is that China's things are not the treasures of the town hall, which shows that we are not miserable. The voice guide of the British Museum doesn't have Chinese, but the words please donate are marked in Chinese. This makes me a little uncomfortable. The National Gallery can ask for donations. Why are you a robber? Do I have to pay to show off stolen things for a visit?

Coming out of the British Museum, it was already dark. See if there's still time. Take the subway back to IC, because I'm going to Harold's department store. This is one of several places in London that specialize in expensive things. The window outside is different from other homes, but the inside is more magnificent. Egyptian antiques are displayed on the first floor, followed by Diana's portrait. It suddenly occurred to me that, yes, it was the son of the boss of this department store, the one who had an accident with Diana. Their photos are put together in a department store (I think his father's idea is a bit strange), but they are not side by side. The man pushed back a little 20 centimeters (I don't know why). The only regret is that you are so rich anyway, you should change flowers every day. How to use fake flowers? Harold, the contents are really expensive. A thousand pounds of clothes are hanging on anyone's hands. I don't have the courage to wear it. Just looking. A chair on the first floor of Mai won my heart. This is a chair made of bears. Very cute. Generally speaking, the things sold in this department store are expensive, but the food is not. A little arrogant. Take your backpack in your hand, don't carry it. The decoration is masculine. Those beautiful cars advertised in the window are very 007 style, and they are all from a male perspective.

Day 5: Continue the unfinished British Museum, and then go directly to Victoria Coach Station 1: 30 and take a bus back to Leicester.

Generally speaking, the trip was a great success, except that I broke the special cup I used to make tea in the hostel on the last night (you can't buy it here), and everything else was beautiful. Especially, it is a wonderful enjoyment to buy the best seats at the price of 20 pounds to watch the opera. This is my first time to go out to play alone. It is rare for me to have fun while paying great attention to safety.

The cost is about this: 2 pounds for a round-trip ticket, 30 pounds for a three-night guest house, 8+3 pounds for a voice guide in Sao Paulo, 0/2 pounds for the Tower of London/KLOC, and 6 pounds for Westminster Abbey.

Musical 20 pounds, subway 2/kloc-0 pounds (a three-day pass plus the last day ticket, all used on the first day), and other miscellaneous things, totaling about *** 1 10.

After reading your replies, I want to add one thing. I wrote this myself, not reposting it (of course, on my own space). For the first time, I posted my personal feelings on an idiot. But this travel book seems a little messy, which is caused by it, so I'm sorry if you read it in a mess.

Partial supplement: This is the first time that I have posted my own writing on bbs (not counting questions, oh, I have written visa materials before), and it is also the first time to refine it. It's interesting to find people you don't know here and discuss with them.

As for the ticket, I came by bus. Nationalexpress.com or England, I don't remember. Call the fundfare ticket, there is no handling fee. So it's 1 pound against 1 pound. I booked it three weeks in advance. There is a lot of time to choose from, and everything is fine.

Guest House: I made a reservation in hostelworld.com. The name is hostel639, get off at kenal green subway station (on the left of the traffic lights, just cross the road). It's a little dirty, but it's cheaper (10). Yha is not that cheap, and there is no price increase on Saturday. I live in a female room with six people, and there is a place to take a bath in the room. Breakfast, bread and milk, unlimited. If you eat too much, you can eat an apple or something at noon (it's really expensive to eat in London), and you gave it to 1 when you ordered it. 1 1 pound. I made a reservation in hostelworld.com.

Figure: I won't count the changes one by one. I hate things related to technology. But you can see many photos in many places that are much better than those taken by my poor technology, so I don't lack one, haha.
