I bought a weeks worth of London travel for when I was working in Regents Park so on Monday I went to the British Museum for free. The British Museum is the best museum in the world, at least according to this book anyway. When you go into the main entrance you come to a massive doughnut shaped hall with the museum library in the centre. I`ve been here before but it`s too big to see all at once so this time I looked at some Korean and Japanese stuff, plus a couple of other things.


The British Museum is so cool because it has lot`s of things that have been plundered from around the world, like this guy who was taken from Egypt. Apparently it`s o.k because it was a long time ago, but I bet one day they`ll have to give it all back.


I always look twice at this building when I walk to and from the underground station. It`s part of London Metropolitan University. I think it is quite an impractical shape for a building.


I inherited this little guy with my new house key. I feel a bit sorry for him though, because the key is so big.

He's so cute. And I like that "Give Way" sign. I'll assume it means "Yeild" but it sounds way better.

Nice building.
Remember that time we went to the "Treasures of the British Museum" exhibit and saw the mummy? That was cool.
