Section 1502 Moon White
I had to apply for a visa for the British Empire, but LG had always wanted to go to London, firstly, New Zealanders had a plot about the British Empire, and secondly, his aunt's family was in London and wanted to visit them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Rice Flag, The Sun Never Sets, Great Britain, you have a lot of symbols. The city of London, some say it's ancient, some say it's stylish, some say it's modern.
Some say it's full of charm. Yunluo thinks it has something to do with everyone's hobbies. Every traveler has their own expectations and understanding of the city they are about to arrive. Everyone's tastes determine that he pays more attention to it when planning his trip. Seeing a city in all its aspects is not a task that can be completed in a few weeks.
The UK's individual tourist visa is a document visa, which does not require an interview under normal circumstances, and if the visa officer has doubts about the materials you submit, he will call or interview. After sending the materials to Manila, Indonesia, I was told that I needed to wait for at least a week, and three weeks later, Yunluo checked the approval progress online.
Yunluo was worried that it was too late, so he called Indonesia across the ocean, hoping that they would speed up the approval process, but was politely refused, and in desperation, Yunluo canceled Yunluo's visa application and asked them to send Yunluo's passport back to New Zealand as soon as possible.
It didn't take long to receive an email saying that Yunluo's visa application requirements had been cancelled. After that, Yunluo has been arranging the itinerary of Austria, and the hotel has been booked, but fortunately there is no train ticket! A few days before departure, Yunluo received Yunluo's passport and was surprised to find that the passport was labeled with a travel visa for the British Empire!
Yunluo was messy for a while, Yunluo didn't know if Yunluo was wrong, or the British Immigration Bureau was playing Yunluo, so he immediately called to confirm that this was a real visa before he was relieved. Yunluo is a person who likes to follow the goals and itinerary plans of Yunluo's booking, and does not adapt to and likes this sudden change, so he cancels the hotel reservation immediately.
When I went to the UK this time, I found that there are still many different feelings from other European countries, and the standard London accent is also comfortable to listen to, perhaps because Yunluo can only speak English. Unlike in non-English-speaking countries such as France, Germany, and Spain, you don't know what you see in German, French, and Spanish, and you can walk on the streets of England through different signboards.
Notices and so on, unconsciously already in the details of the understanding of the country. So to better experience the culture and life of a country. It is very important to master the language of the country first. In addition, it may be because I experienced the legendary Sherlock Holmes Museum, Egyptian mummies in the British Museum, sunflowers in the art gallery, and so on.
Upon arrival in London, Yunluo first bought an oystercard. The "OysterCard", also known as the Oyster Card, is a London city bus card for travel in London.

In addition, for the OysterCard in London, you can also buy weekly, monthly and annual passes, which can save money. However, when purchasing, you are reminded to decide which package to buy based on your actual situation.
Using an OysterCard is almost half the price of buying a ticket with cash. When boarding, you only need to touch the card lightly to the subway or train station gate, or the card reader on the bus. When reading the card, the passenger should gently place the card on the yellow circular surface. Oystercard can be purchased and topped up at convenience stores in addition to subway stations.
Just keep an eye out for roadside convenience stores, such as the blue oystercard logo and lettering on the gate. This means that you can buy and recharge your bus card at this store.

Big Ben was affected, with measurements showing that Big Ben was tilted about half a metre to the northwest. Big Ben was built on the day of the year and is the largest clock in the UK. The tower is feet high (about meters) and the minute hand is feet long (about meters).
Big Ben uses artificial clockwork. When Congress is in session, the clock face glows and strikes the time every hour. Every year, when the time is changed between summer and winter, the clock is stopped, and parts are repaired and replaced, and the bell is tuned. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, the London Eye take half an hour to make every turn.
There were already long queues at the place to buy tickets and the place waiting in line to get to the London Eye, and Yunluo estimated it in his heart. It will take at least an hour to wait for Yunluo and Ann's turn to meet for the first time. And the ticket price is not expensive, in the spirit of poor travel and not wanting to queue, Yunluo gave up going to the London Eye. In fact, this kind of Ferris wheel is everywhere, and it is not only in London.

There are many free and easy little animals growing upside down in Hyde Park, and I met a few Chinese literary and artistic youths pulling erhu. The weather was nice that day, facing the lake, lying on the grass.
I took a nap for dozens of minutes. Sherlock Holmes is a world-renowned detective who leads readers to solve countless crimes with his assistant Dr. Watson.

Because they were staying at their aunt's house, Yunluo and An Chuyu couldn't go home too late, because they were both waiting for Yunluo and An Chuyu to have dinner, and Yunluo reluctantly said goodbye to Yunluo's dear Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

Due to the fact that Buckingham Palace was not open to the public, Yunluo and An Chuyu only watched the handover ceremony of the Queen's Guard soldiers. Looking at this angle, you can know that Yunluo and An Chuyu did not grab a powerful position. There are too many "paparazzi" on site.
Yunluo couldn't see what was happening at all, only the various whistles and the various sounds of walking around. This commander has a full sense of camera, and he does not hesitate to cooperate with Yunluo and An to take pictures for the first time. In order to take these photos, Yunluo spent a lot of time on his old nose. The uncle in front of Yunluo was nearly a meter tall, and Yunluo could only bend over.

This is the best time to press the shutter. % of New Zealand's population is white.
They or their predecessors were immigrants from England who brought the traditional food called ishandchips to New Zealand. Whether in New Zealand or the UK, Friday night is the traditional Ishandchipsnight, Fish and Chips Night. It was also the busiest time in the store. It is worth mentioning that in ancient times.
People eat and carry fish and chips wrapped in the Times of the day so that they can eat national food while reading the newspaper. But...... Such oily food, coupled with dripping newspapers...... How nervous and unsophisticated do the British people have to be to do this...... But now it's been replaced with blank paper and lunch boxes.
When Yunluo learned that there was one of the oldest fish and chip shops in London that had been in business since its years - Rock &Soleplaice. Decided to try and compare the difference between British and New Zealand fish and chips. Come to think of it, the British stomach is also quite pitiful, and the "quintessence" that is so famous that it has entered the teaching textbooks of various countries is actually fish and chips (ish &chips).
It is said that Britain is rich in "dark cuisine". However, compared to eel jelly, as well as blood sausage and haggis, fish and chips are weak. At best, it's too rough and shabby, and it's lackluster. Chinese people pay attention to color and fragrance when eating. On the other hand, the overall color of fish and chips is single, the aroma is greasy, and the taste is ...... Well.
There's no taste, and you need to manually order salt and vinegar, so, you know, this dish can be served with zero points. However, the fault is not how simple this dish is, but the "fault" is that it has been put on the title of British national dish, which shows how the British eat it...... Well, really worthy of sympathy. Although it is the quintessence of the country, the price of this old store is really expensive.
What could be done for a few pounds in other stores is tripled here. It is worthy of an old shop, and the style is indeed unique, especially the fries. Instead of being short and thin like the one that is popular now, the potatoes are cut into long square strips in the British tradition, which is also different from what is sold in other shops in the UK. The taste is similar to that of New Zealand fish. To be continued.
