NAME: I JI HOON 7.21.( MON) Tired and happy day Today is tired and happy day. We take an aeroplane for a very, very long time. I’m so tired and sleepy. But we go to Greenwich park. It is a good park. I’m happy today. England is a good country. I eat the pizza and fruit. It is so delicious. I go to England market. Many, many things in the market. This market is Tiem’s dad’s market .Tiem’s dad is very kind. He gives me the watermelon. This watermelon is very big. We eat the watermelon. And we meet cookie, asia and sinba. They are cats.

Lots going on still! Sadly there are no pictures allowed in the King Tut exhibit, the Tate Modern, or the Lion King production. Thusly, the pictures for this blog are limited!!! Monday was just a class day, then catchup on homework day. Tuesday we had class in the morning, but I got out early, around 1. James and I hopped trains to the 02 dome down by the Thames in North Greenwich. They have the "King Tut" exhibit there, and both James and I are interested in Egypt.

I tend to forget to tote a book around, yet my camera is usually with me, and when bored or feeling uncomfortable I take out the camera check settings, take a few pictures, review the photos, change settings, and take some more pictures.

The photos in this ... read more

I spent a very pleasant weekend with the Miles-Kingston's in the Greenwich area, having been picked up from North Greenwich - another chance to check out the Millenium Dome, sorry O2 Arena, which had plenty of staff milling around - I think for the Prince concert - he's not "Squiggle" any more is he? We had a few nice walks around Greenwich Park... although the second ended with Sebby falling into the boating lake which wasn't so pleasant - all safe now though. I just had a thoroughly nice time, chilled out, and caught up on some sleep (and yes, sorry Tal for falling asleep on the Saturday afternoon... think the 4am internet sessions are catching up with me!).... read more
