Fiver, tenner (with Charles Darwin on the back), penny, tuppence, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, and one pound. There's also a two pound coin, but I haven't got one.

Fire Action sign in my room (26/09/10)

Notice that, if it's safe and practical to do so, you can attempt to fight the fire before exiting the building. And the meeting area is outside the bar.

Can I climb on it, Mum? (26/09/10)

The British Museum (26/09/10)

After the Camden Market, I figured I'd drop by the British Museum for a little while. It's quite close to UCL.

the Rosetta Stone

writing on the Rosetta Stone

Egyptian statue

Egyptian hieroglyphics

broken bits of marble, also known as the remains of the west pediment of the Parthenon

the east pediment is in better shape

I liked this sculpture particularly.

What if I pretend to be blind?

The Camden Market is about a ten-minute walk from my residence hall. It's got an alternative, edgy scene that isn't really my taste, but there's a lot of good food and cool stuff to look at. It's situated right along the canal.
