Houses of parliament

The ticket office of the houses of parliament is disconnected from the actual buildings, located across the street. I took me sometime to locate where that is because there was no direction signs for it.

Out of all the rooms that I  can enter, I can only take pictures in two of those halls.

It is very interesting that they make the opposition parties sitting across the room. Instead of making the room circular, most of the meeting rooms were rectangular. Opposite parties sit on the long side of the room, and the ones with no affiliation sit on the short end. In certain rooms where the king or the queen participates, he or she would sit on the other short end to watch, but he basically has no right speaking lol

Chinatown
I was trying to look a tour to Stonehenge and I know for sure that Chinatown always has better deals. Well yes it was just 26 pounds but it was already full. The next available one is next Saturday, which I can’t make it. The only option for me to go see the Stonehenge is to go with the English tour, which is twice the price without going to bath as a stop.

I really like British museums. They are so educational. Even though everything is designed for kids, but It is still very interesting to visit for adults. They have an exhibition about space exploration , which is basically all from the us, but I  couldn’t find anything alike in the states haha how embarrassing

I can’t believe British people close everything so early. I arrived there at around 8:15pm and it was already close! So disappointing! Most of them are fancy clothing stores anyway.

As I have no place to eat, I decided to go back to Chinatown for food as I know Chinese people don’t close their businesses that early.
Ten pounds for a main course, a boba  drink, and a dessert
Sounds like a great deal in the UK
The dish was okay, but the drink and dessert was awful…
