We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
Tate Modern The other day our group had the opportunity to visit the Tate Modern Art Museum–it was aight. I understand why some people are really against modern art but some of it was pretty cool. I was a fool who did not take any photos of the art plaques so I do not remember …

It is my third day in The United Kingdom, and I went to go see the Tower of London. I’ve never seen the Tower of London before. I was expecting one large tower but instead, I saw a palace that was at least 1,000 years old. There were multiple buildings big and small that were …

The Tower of London was absolutely incredible. I am sure others will talk about the ever-impressive codpieces on the suits of armor so I will refrain from discussing that. I think that I spent more time having fun with my friends than I did letting the history of the tower absorb into me. It is …
Yesterday we went to the Tower of London and let me say it was very educational (like legit). One interesting thing I learned about British culture is that, it is known if the ravens at the tower leave “the crown will fall with Britain with it”. Which is why they hold them captive in the …
The other day we had the opportunity to see the play Dancing at Lughnasa at The National Theatre. I… did not care for it. I think the set of the show was absolutely fantastic but the writing was uuuh I did not care for it. The stage was like a small world and I was …

Last night we saw our first show at the National Theatre. The theater was smaller than I thought it would be. Also the color of purple that the seats were so cool to look at. The seats were also comfortable which was a plus. I also really appreciate how cold they kept the theater during …
Alright, I have got some hefty choice words for the child I was sitting next to on the plane ride to London. This kid took off his shoes and was kicking the seat in front of him like mad (the kicking did not affect me personally but it still made me angry because he should …
After that horrendous 9-hour flight from DFW, I finally made it to London. Although I was extremely jet-lagged and exhausted, that didn’t stop me from noticing London’s beauty. When my new friends and I were trying to find a place to sit down and eat, I was mesmerized by the old and detailed buildings that …
We finally made it to London! After traveling for what feels like a lifetime we made it to Central London. The trip from DFW to here wasn’t so bad, the air condition on the plane was amazing! We were served dinner around eleven pm and I decided to get the chicken and rice. It low-key …
