BIG BEN AND LONDON EYE BY NIGHT
There is nothing more beautiful to see the Big Ben and the London eye by night. That is 4:30 p.m if we can call it night already. Although very cold, it was as always it has been the most amazing site. Once again, we had the opportunity of walking from the Big Ben to the Buckingham Palace through St James's park and then through the Green park to the tube station on our way to Covent Garden. Walking is the opportunity to connect the city and begin to understand our way around.
CHINA TOWN
"The area that we know as Chinatown has a long and rich history that stretches back to the 17th Century and beyond".
This is another thing London has to offer: interculturalism. In the middle of the town in a very central area you find a considerably big chinese communitity full of spas, acunpucture treatments, restaurants, supermarkets and shops.

FOOD IN BRITAIN
Talking about food is the most pleasurable topic for me. I'm a person of all tastes and I love to try the new and traditonal dishes that are seved in every country I visit. So, I had our group try out my favourite ones so that they could have the real taste of what it was like to be a Londoner. Here's the result: Fish and chips, pudding, gravy, Thai food (coconut rice, sour and sweet praws), muffins, chocolate cookies(we recommend Ben's cookies), chocolate, traditional fudge in Cambridge, nuts, yogurt with jam and granola, honey cereals, Japanese food (all you can eat), Chinese food, cheese cake from Harrods and the msot special, I'd say was our visit to the well known chef Jamie Oliver where we could have a real taste of Italian food for a very cheap price if you think you're eating at a famous chef's restaurant.
