The black taxi painted in red and red phone box which lots of tourists thought it was best for pictures than for calls. I never really saw anyone making a call in there....
I tried to take a decent picture of the London Eye at night but didn't have my tripod, so this is my best shot...
The Big Ben, which I have to say is impressive, and the architectural design of parlament is awesome ...
The London Bridge is nice in architecture too....
The London Tower and the Crown Jewels, which by the way was awesome to see how they shine...
The double decker red bus (old and new) crossing in front of St. Paul's Cathedral...
Really nice Nothing Hill and the many many usless but interesting things you can buy at the Portobello Market...
Hyde Park, by the fountain, across the yellow flowers - I think this is a NYT's pic, in my humble opinion....
Oxford Circus and the many young people just hanging out pretty much every single nigth, most likely on their way to the clubs around Leisester Square - I can almost guarantee it...
Then there was the Rosetta Stone in display at the British Museum... If you want a picture, google it. I can only say it is really nice to see such a beautiful thing. But the pic from above at the entrance of the museum is nice...
And then there are the standard black, gray, white and beige colors of the city, aside from the redish/brownish brick buildings in Mayflower and the muilticolor buildings in Nothing Hill, plus some other I am sure I missed all around London....
On the last day, when I actually had some time to walk around after 10 days of working, I went to the local pub near my hotel for dinner and a rugby game - England vs. Ireland. It ended 27-9, England up, which apparentely was really impressive given the two teams are just as good.
Early during the week I had met some interesting folks and we met on Sat, and while watching the rugby game, these guys tried to explain how rugby works, and I totally can see why it is an awesome game. They told me "football (soccer for you in the US) is a game of gentelmen played by hooligans, while rugby is a game of hooligans played by gentelmen", which I got. They also tried to explained what England, UK and Great Britain really mean, and I was still lost. Then I saw this video, and now I think I got it.
This is a fun video, and there are some more at http://blog.cgpgrey.com/, where the intention is to explain the inexplicable.
