Well, yes, but I won't be wasting my school trip to London surfing the net when I can spend the time going to concerts and getting drunk with my classmates.
Not even newspapers?! Not even the free ones?! ... oh wait, high school student...(!!) =P
So, what'dja do in merry ol' London?! ... apart from go to concerts and get drunk with your classmates, that is?!
Oy now: I'm not a high school student.
I'm 19, and a folk high school is nothing like high school at all. It's more like community college or something. I live in a dorm and I spend my days playing music with people.
As for activities in London: The main purpose of the trip was going to concerts. I'm studying music, you see.
We also went to St. Luke's church, I think it was, to have a workshop with Gamelan and electroacustic instruments.
I really liked the whole Gamelan deal. The instruments sounded nice.
We went to the science museum as well to see an exhibit about electronic music / the first synthezisers, but to be honest that particular exhibit was crap.
I had way more fun walking around looking at the other exhibits; particularly the maths room. Klein bottles man. When I grow up, every cup in my house is going to be a Klein bottle.
And of course I was drooling over the Ripley scroll in the alchemy exhibit. Why can't the people at the souvenir store carry a bloody replica? I want it so bad.
On one of the days that I felt like I'd spent way too much money though, I and some friends went sightseeing, seeing how it's a free activity.
We started off at the Marble arch and went from there through Hyde park to Westminster abbey via Buckingham palace and St. James's park.
Oh, and of course we took a day off to go fooling around in Denmark street. The bastards at one of the stores had a blue 1970's Rickenbacker 4001. I wish I could have bought it.
Plus, I went to this fun place called Hobgoblin where I bought a Katho.
We also took a trip to Hamley's, where I bought a Hexbug starter set and a "flying mystery ufo", because I'm a child inside and there's no way anyone can keep me from getting excited over robot pets and magic tricks.
