London, England can get expensive very quick. Especially for a college student, like myself. So my second day in London we woke up and went to breakfast at McDonalds. McDonalds is everywhere in London and I think it tasted better than the United States ones. After discovering how awesome the London Tube was on the first day, I remember us deciding that we were going to use the Tube instead of walking as much. When you go onto the London Tube listen for the guy saying “mind the gap”” (watch my step on and off) when the tube arrives. It is pretty funny. It was very easy to use, and I recommend using it while in London for all of your travel needs. I liked how the tube routes were color coded and how they announced the name of the next stop. I guarantee your confidence with using public transportation will shoot through the roof, like mine did because London is huge and getting around it easy is really cool. After taking the tube to the Mall we went to the Buckingham Palace Parade. It was really cool to see the Parade and how it's a tradition in England. We saw the changing of the guard. I recommend you plan out your day to see it because it is really cool. I remember us then visiting the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square, the most famous square in Britain. Trafalgar Square was cool because it had huge sculptures and a huge ship in a bottle. I remember noticing that most of the paintings within National Gallery were of nudity. I thought it was interesting because it is very different in the art galleries in America. After the National Gallery, we went to Harrods. I thought Harrods was the coolest shopping center I have ever seen. Harrods is the largest department store in the world and you can get pretty much anything from there. For example, I remember learning that you can order a tiger or an elephant at Harrods if you wanted to. It was interesting how Harrods had pretty much anything a person can want. If I was a billionaire’s son, I would go there on my birthday and Christmas. I highly recommend you go there when you are in London. That night we went to an Ice Bar. I recommend you go to it. It is called Absolut Ice Bar. Everything is made of ice, I remember saying that I have never seen anything like that in my entire life.
