London
We visited London in Jan 2024. Here is a quick trip report. (Originally posted here)
- Westminster Abby, mostly to check out famous ppl’s tombs; nice site and history too; I quite like the colors from these shots from Ricoh GRIII (first trip with this little pocket camera, very enjoyable)
- Museum scene is nice, we had a blast. The first and second photos were taken in British Museum, it’s a ceramic artwork from @hitomihosono
- A lady beefeater guard showed us around London Tower; crown jewel collection is cool, photos not allowed. (*beefeater: a yeoman of the English royal guard or a warder of the Tower of London.)
- Food scene is great, pretty much every meal was good; my fav is Lima (lima_london); everyone likes Dishoom of course.
- Lots of parks in the city, enjoyed our walks.
- I loved visiting Churchill war room last time, glad to visit it again with my wife.
Book recs for those interested in Churchill
- The Splendid and the Vile
- The power of words (this is a compilation of his speeches but also works well as a biography)
- We didn’t go watch the change of the guards this time (was a highlight last time and I went twice…) highly recommend
- The main objective of the trip was to see Jay Chou - really really happy we did it. See https://www.instagram.com/reel/C26FwABoArM/?igsh=dXp4dXMyd2FseDY2
