Don't Spread Yourself too Thin!
by eahayden
As with any big city, there's a fine line between wanting to see all there is to see, and seeing it all but exhausting yourself. I've found that, if flying from the US or another far flight, don't feel guilty about sleeping that first day! If you don't catch up on your sleep, you WILL be exhausted the whole trip, But you have to make yourself stay up until about 9pm that first day or your sleeping schedule will be hopelessly off. It's better to not be grouchy and tired and miss a few things that weren't terribly important than to do it all and fight the whole time! I'd make a *tentative* itinerary, with the things that are least important last in the day. save one day where there's not much to do, and do anything that didn't get done in previous days that day if you feel the need to do them.
The British Museum is...

The British Museum is something that you should not miss! Even though you are not a person who likes museums, I am sure it will fascinate you! It's great to go and see all the things from Ancient Greece, for example. You can really feel the Greeks' sense of beauty and their way of life! When I looked at a piece from one of the seven wonders of the world at the British museum!
Allies in Old Bond Street
by alucas
"Allies" is a well-known statue in Old Bond Street. It is much photographed by tourists, posing with those two great politicians. This picture wasn't posed, just a candid shot from the other side of the street.
The bronze is by Lawrence Holofcener and depicts the leaders of the allies of the Second World War sitting on a park bench. Winston Churchill is even holding his trade-mark cigar and is relaxing and talking to Franklin Rosevelt.
Where am I?

In the streets of the Indian and Chinese areas the namesigns are written in the original language of the indian/chinese population. At some places there is even no proper English sign; only the Indian one.
Be polite. Say 'thanks, sorry,...
by Cutypie
Be polite. Say 'thanks, sorry, yes please, no thanks' etc. I heard a friend telling me, how some Finnish guy ordered a beer in the pub and didn't even say 'please'- word and the bartender punched his nose. Well, I heard this before my trip, so I was aware that if I want to have my cute little nose on its own place, I better say that one important word....
