5/23/15 Globe Theater

We started the day off by going to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing the Guard Ceremony. The actual ceremony was not that exciting except that the marching band played Thriller (or at least something that sounded very similar to Thriller) at one point which was hilarious. After that we went to the Globe Theater to watch Shakespeare’s comedy As You Like It. And I must say, I did like it. The cast did a marvelous job of portraying their characters in a funny and unique way.

3/17/15 Free Day

Today was a free day so we could so whatever we wanted. Accompanied by some classmates, I went to the British Museum for the first half of the day. Even though we were there for an hour we hardly made a dent in the museum, it’s so big. After that educational experience, we wandered around Oxford Street (a shopping district) and Piccadilly Circus (a giant roundabout). After that we stumbled into St. James Park and ate a nice picnic in a park. In the park there is a little pond with many water fowl and other birds hanging around. There were so many birds that I have to wonder if the government brings them into the park and/or feeds them. Then we stopped by Buckingham Palace on the way back.
