North Greenwich: Symbolizing the location in London giving direction to where I was going, a system known as THE TUBE.

Today we visited the British Music Museum for the purpose of connecting the dots between the Rock of Ages in North Greenwich, which is a very beautiful town. Having the location of where the Olympics took place, it took my breath away.  I really enjoyed the museum. I liked how the information could be recorded according to specific things in the museum. I got to see how the clothing was in each time period. It was interesting to see if change, but also some similarities. Rock music seemed to be so powerful and I found to see how they’re clothing that they wore, really reflected that rocking power that was being portrayed. In comparison to other artist who weren’t rockers such as Adel, was wearing soother, down to the knee attire or fancy dresses. My favorite part of today was when my roommate and I got to dance the Macarena and it be recorded on my little card with a chip. I am glad I’ll be able to have this back in the states.

Later this afternoonwe were able to catch a bite at a pub in Greenwich. It’s interesting to see how the names of the food are different. For examples chips are actually fries. And if you want to take something to go, instead of saying “I would like a to-go box” you have to say “take away”. Also the feeling of walking into a pub without having to use my I.D was a good feeling. I also noticed that food comes in smaller portions, I must say that is something different to getting used to as well. Today, I finally felt like I was adjusting well and being familiar with the tube, finding my way back to the hotel, and knowing where I was going, gave me a good sense of pride in myself. Can’t wait for the more adventures to come.  Jenny

One thought on “North Greenwich

  1. I’m delighted that you were able to visit the British Museum. It’s one of those museums that one can go back to over and over again and still not see everything. You sound happy, adjusted, and Tube savvy! You’re absorbing and learning, and I hear the excitement in your words. Michele
