Finding stuff to doIn these past two weeks I have gotten a lot more adjusted to the culture and weather out here in London. With that, it was time to explore the area and find more stuff to do. There's honestly a bit too much to mention, but I'll go through some highlights!
We went to Westminster Abbey for a class field trip with our Resident Director and Professor Dave. Its a religious place that holds many ceremonies throughout. You can't really take pictures there unfortunately but its really neat to check out the older styles of architecture as well as the graves of many significant scientific, literary, and royal figures throughout history. A few days later we went back to Westminster, but to the parliament building and had some high tea. We also went to Hampton Court Palace, which had some neat recreations of old time activities such as eating quarters. There were also many murals and portraits that depict scenes in history or even royal figures themselves. Outside the many buildings were beautiful and elaborate gardens that you'd just have to check out for yourself (they're like Alice in Wonderland level gardens). The highlight for me however, was seeing some geese. I guess the final thing I'll mention is that the Hawai'i students ventured off on our own to Brick Lane Market where we found some graffiti and had a look at the various shops all around, it was like a swap meet except larger and more expensive. The food was good though!
