On this trip I got to experience Piccadilly circus, Trafalgar square and Madame Tussauds. I remember struggling to remember the name of the man who was statued at the top of the column in Trafalgar Square - Horatio Nelson. At Madame Tussauds, I dared to go to the horror section. I remember being very skeptical about going near a figure that was lying with its intestines out. I think the exhibit was added to Jack the Ripper's time. Otherwise, this trip was the first time I was aware of outliers and that they were part of the cityscape.
We were staying near Picadilly Circus. Around the corner from where we lived, there was a small shop selling simple food. There I was allowed to go alone to buy breakfast. It was some baguette-like stuff and chocolate milk. I got on well with the man who worked there, Malek.
