London Tower was the one castle I visited in the United Kingdom. The king and queens once lived here, as well as a lot of royal families.

Apparently, there are a lot of killing happened in the castle. Many innocents were killed in the private killing site because the king wanted so.

One thing that is pretty scary was that once there were two little prince brothers living in the family, and somehow the king was dead, and the throne was going to passed to them. There was another brother who was next in the royal line wanted to be the King, and he locked up the two little brothers in a box, and they were only be discovered after two decades in an old stairway in the castle. Pretty scary.

It’s a huge museum and it really has a huge collection that I wasn’t able to see because I ran out of time.

SOHO

Soho is boring on a Sunday night. Everything closed.

Finally, first pub I went in London, or in my entire life haha. I ordered a pork belly and a British beer. The beer was good, but the pork belly was just exactly like the Chinese ones.
