Exploring London: Day 4
And we are still walking.. today we made two important steps:
1) The British Mueseum.. wow, so many, actually too many, things to see in one day. And we only visited the Egyptian, Greek and Roman, and Europe sections, looking carefully at each piece as we started and then ending up skimming through things. I am defenitely going there again. It has an impressive collection of everything from the tiniest piece of thousand-year old rock to the huge statues and parts of temples. The Egyptian section is especially great, although many times I found myself wondering how in the world they managed to get all those treasures from Egypt till Britain. But when I saw the Rosetta Stone, I was just thinking "hey.., that's ours, this belongs to Egypt, it shouldn't be here".
And from the museum's gifts shop, guess what I bought? A book entitled: "How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs" :) This will certainly be fun. I have always wondered about that and hope this book will give me some answers. I will keep you up to date with my Hieroglyphs learning process. Oh, and I had to get something wit the Rosetta Stone on it, so I bought a folder. I know I can't get this cheaper in Egypt.
2) Harrods.. and again wow, not just about the quality of things there, but the prices. But don't worry mum, dad and marwan.. I am defenitely buying gifts for you from there, I just need to go many times more to figure out what exactly I can afford. :) Actually, what I could afford to buy today is food.. The food hall in Harrods is a mouth-watering section that you can't resist, especially if you have been suffering with food for almost two months like me :)
The weather today also cloudy, so our plans for tomorrow depends on how the weather will be like. The only sure thing is the theatre. Looking forward to seeing THE PRODUCERS.
