5/8 Cultured Day

Today our goal is to visit 3 places: Tower of London & Tate Modern Art Museum & Sherlock Holms Museum

On my request list, I requested a castle. So Chris took me Tower of London, which is a castle but not the kind of the castle that I imagined.

Each different section of the castle has an different exhibition: about the prison for the criminals, about the armours, about the crown jewels, about the soldiers, about the church.
My favorite section is of course the bling bling crown jewels :D
All the crowns were kept and exhibited, but unfortunately I didn't get to take any photos.

We spent 3 hours in the Tower of London >.<


Me with weapon


People dressed like the guy in Alice Wonderland

Looks like toy house and nut-cracker

People dressing up to put on a play about treason

Statues of royal horses

Child's armor with lizard on the helmet

Next place is Tate Modern.
According to Chris, it is the biggest modern art museum in the world.
However, I have to say that Tate Modern did disappointed me a little bit.
It could be the largest modern art museum, but it seemed a little out-dated and empty.
I think the best modern art museums are the ones in Roppongi, Tokyo!

Went pass some interesting architectures on the way to the museum

Didn't make it to the Sherlock Holm's Museum...

At night, we had dinner with Chris' uncle and aunt at a fancy seafood restaurant.
yummy~ yummy~ Haven't been to a western seafood restaurant for a long time!
Had mussels for the starter & cod for the main.
