Book List



This is what's keeping me from updating lately. It's not as bad as I previously thought but it does keep me busy, especially when you're asked to crank these out all in five weeks. Three papers and did I mention a performance at the end of the semester?

I've just planned out my finances for the rest of the trip. I already told some of you but I lost my wallet in a cab on the way back home last Sunday. It's funny how it survived London and got lost right when I was dropped at our place in Cambridge. Oh well, I moved on...

On a much lighter note, we're planning our trip to Scotland next week!

London in 3 Days

Thursday
We started off with the Maritime Museum in London to check out some maps, navigational devices and a lecture from the Curator. Then there was a walk to the British Museum through Trafalgar Square, Covent Gardens and River Thames.

Our last stop was Shakespeare's Globe Theater with a production of A Midsummer Night's dream.


This is how it looked inside. I was amazed how physically small and intimate the place is, yet felt fully grand in all other aspects. Maybe because it is the Globe after all.

Thing/s that changed my life that day : Seeing the Rosetta Stone.
