Moving around in London (KEN'S VERSION)

Last Wednesday’s activity was quite interesting, it was a surprise from Miss B, and we were told to explore London without actually travelling to London, instead, we had to search through the web.


To be honest, I didn’t know much about the city, but it has that historical vibe that makes me want to go there someday. The web quest helped to confirm my wishes, as most of the places we were supposed to go were historical landmarks or museums, and they were only a part of what London has to offer.


Going through the places’ websites was quite fast and easy. Every page had a link that gave directions to get there, that says a lot about what they think about tourism. They want people to visit London in every way!


The most difficult part was wrapping my head around the subway (or tube, in British) system. It’s quite huge and I had to download a tube map from Transport for London’s website, and learn how to move around using it. One thing I thought was “if this is so overwhelming, I can’t even imagine how complicated the bus system must be”, but then I realized that maybe that wasn’t the case, and I’m accustomed to using a lousy bus system (coughTransantiagocough).


To sum it up, I liked the activity because it gave me the chance to learn about such a great city as London, and I know virtual visits are nothing compared to the real thing, so I can’t wait to actually go there!
