Trips to London
I've been back from trips to London for about 2 months now. But as long as I saw news about London, it refreshed my memories.But it also mad me sad as most news are about teariest attacks, accidents.
When I first arrived in London, what impressed me the most is its diversity. I saw people from different backgrounds, cultures and races living peacefully together. Tho their accents vary, which is not as what i expected to be like what Londoners speak, but they all speak one language - English.
I saw all these famous landmarks, Big Ben, London eye, Thomas river etc, but this is not what I am gonna talk about. I love all these new things I saw during that trips.
The first time I know what it feels like to be fooled by the so called British humor ... We were in the Victoria Station, and I felt so lost and not sure where to go, so I tried to find Metro stuff for help. I saw one old guy, which seems pretty nice: Hi Sir, Can I ask you one question ? That old guy: Ok miss, for Monday, I only answer one question. What is it ? Me:... burst into laughter
There are some propaganda of falungong out side the British Museum, which we would never seen in Mainland China.
Also we had the experience of rush hours from downtown to airport, that we almost missed out plane. But luckily took the advises from a young lady, changed our plan from by couch to by train.
It was also outside the airport, where I was shocked by a strong smell, which turned out to be the smell of mariguna...
Bought a book "handmaid's tale" in Waterstone bookstore for my friend, as a gift. I was glad she loves it.
Surprised that all public toilets are chargeable, so be prepared with all those coins if you plan to go to London. But you could also go to the rest room in Pubs for free...
SOHO is full of those young white coller workers. It is also my ideal place to work at.
In some restaurant, take-out food is cheaper than eat-in.
Tried the number 1 ranked restaurant by Yelp in London - Burger and Lobster. Damm good !!!
‘’Trafalgar Square‘, I could not say it right, no matter how many times I were taught... so I stop trying, hahah
...
And there are still a lot of pities that i didnt have enough time to do, so I wish I could go back someday.
I wish everyone in London is safe. May the world peace.

Do any of you still send and receive Postcards nowadays ?
Saw a project online, connecting people from world by sending and receiving postcards, which I found quite interesting. And would like to join the project.
With technology develops, most ppl from different parts of world can get in touch with each other right away, but how many of still are enthusiastic for the old-fashion way of communication ?

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Just finished reading George Orwell's 1984, which made me really depressed. I feel sad for Winston's experiences of being controlled in the ridiculous ways.
Also I am impressed by George's writing style, such a master of sarcasm ! The book was written in 1948, but it foresaw a lot of THINGS happened after 1984 in the world.
When I first started the book, I can't help but thinking of the special period back in our history, but later it reminds of today's world, aren't we being monitored too ?
It is a tragedy that Winston compromised to the "BIG BROTHER" , and became a copy-paste walking-dead.

Why would I say that...
It was super awkward this morning when I said "you are welcome" when my boss from Australia answered my greetings "I am fine, thank you !"
