We find our past from the dead

June 17th - End of the first week. Another rainy day.

Everything here is quite expensive. A sushi box with a yogurt came out to be 9 pounds.

So I have found my way to the British museum. Should've just trusted my instincts and kept my eyes open. Because it was just right there. Too bad there weren't too many tourists that I could follow.

Found myself lost in the rain. The British are not the most easy people to approach and ask for directions. Good thing the streets are rather close together.

Museums are composed of what people carry with them when they died. It's rather a scary place. Sorta like a protected haunted house for the dead. So many books, so many artifacts, so much history. I would say it was not too much an exaggeration to say the British museum the most well rounded collection of civilization history out there.

The tube was just crazy packed. And I ran out of money on my oyster card already? Too crazy.

So my list of things to do is coming together pretty nicely.
