Mind the Gap

I'm just gonna say that London is awesome. The first place Chibuzo and I went to Saturday morning was the Science Museum. Initially we planned on going to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs but that queue. Oh my. Minds were instantly changed and it was definitely for the better. The Science Museum was so awesome, especially the interactive part! On the 4th and 5th floors was history of medicine stuff which started from the Mesopotamians and Egyptians and went to modern times. The Egyptian part had little figurines of Imhotep, a copy of the bust of Nefertiti, an unwrapped mummified human head, some mummified birds, 2 cats and an actual mummy. Gotta say I was totally impressed right off the bat. We left for a bit, ate some super delicious fish and chips and sausage, onions rings and mash, shopped then went back to the museum. Instead of exploring the sights it seems a lot of our free time that day was spent in that museum. There was this energy exhibition on the 2nd floor and it was all games and what not teaching people how to conserve energy and how important it is. Anyways, there was this art called "Don't Touch" which instantly made me want to touch it. It wasn't forbidden and you were free to touch it but when you did it shocked you! It was amusing watching people staring at the pole too frightened to touch it while me and this little kid kept going back to touch it. After we played this game which made you Energy Minister of Lectraland for 30 years but for both times we played we ended up fired. Hopefully this isn't some ominous sign of the future.
