Yu's diary 11: Politics

Hi! Everybody. My name is Yu, today I'm gonna tell everyone about that today Dad taught sister and I about politics using a real book called Politics for Beginners. And I think the book is really good. I recommend it to everyone who reads the blog.

In the morning, we woke up early and ate our breakfast because today we needed to take a train all the way to feed the pigeons.

There are lots of history about Henry VIII in Hampton Park Palace and I think Henry VIII is funny because he had six wives and the rate to survive is only 50% because three of the wives died.

When it is the lunch time, we went to the Café and ordered some meals. I drank a cup of hot chocolate and a piece of toast. I also ate lots of potato chips but it was not fries. It is like Pringles and that is really hard to find in UK so I think that's amazing.

We also fed the crows. They were really naughty and I don't know why. I don't think I did really scary thing. They think I will catch them but I'm not. So we decided to feed the ducks and the swans. They were really cute and eat everything we gave to them.

When we were home, Dad taught my sister and I about politics. This time we talked about how to argue and not being so rude and there are six tips but I can just tell you one tip. I hope you enjoy!

The tip that I can tell you is you need to be prepared to change your mind. When arguing, maybe you will change your mind. You don't need to keep going and keep arguing. You can change your mind if you want. Maybe next time you can change other people's mind.

I think today I felt happy because today we took the bus and we also fed the crows and swans. The last thing is my dad told my sister and I about arguing and I think the six tips are all good. Do you think the tip I just told you is good? Maybe you can buy the book. See you guys in the next blog, bye-bye!

Yu's diary 10: Royal Observatory Greenwich

HI! Everybody. My name is Yu, today I'm gonna tell everyone about that today we went to the Royal Observatory Greenwich and we saw lots of things about time because people needed to know their location on the sea so they can know if they were on the right direction.

In the morning, we ate our breakfast and then we went outside and took a Jubilee line underground to a really really big station. This time we didn't took the underground all the way to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. We took a bus.

Dad said we could take a 129 bus or a 188 bus. Then a 188 bus came but there were so many people. So we waited for a few seconds and a 129 bus came and it is all empty so we could go up and sit in the front.

The bus was very very very tall and we were all sitting higher than the normal cars so I think that's pretty cool. I shook my tablet on the bus so I got lots and lots of steps. I was really happy even though they're not real.

After that we went to the Royal Observatory Greenwich and the Cutty Sark. Then we also went to eat a restaurant. The chips were yummy.

When we went outside to wait for a bus, a bus came with lots of people. We didn't want to go onto it because we couldn't go up and sat in the front. So we decided to wait for the next bus to come. If that is an empty bus, then that would be good, but if it's not then that's really bad. Luckily, it was an empty bus so we went on it and then went back to the home.

It was really fun because sometimes the bus will went on some little hills on the road. I almost fell down from my seat so I love to take a bus.

I think today I felt happy because today we took a bus to the museum and went back with a bus. I think taking a bus is really fun. Sometimes the tree branches will hit the bus and the noise will be really loud so I recommend all of you guys to sit on the bus and have a nice day. See you guys in the next blog. Bye!

Yu's diary 9: Steps!

Hi! Everybody my name is Yu and today I'm gonna tell everybody about that today I really got lots of steps. I will tell you later because this is a really important thing so this is a secret. If you want to know it, please read this blog.

In the morning, we all woke up and ate our breakfast. My breakfast was a croissant. It was really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really yummy.

Then we went to A very very very very very very big park and we walked a lot so we got a lot of steps and do you want to guess how many steps I earned.

A. 1.  B. 2500.   C. 5000.

The answer is C. I earned a lot of steps so I was very glad. I thought it was just a few thousands, but it is 5 thousands.

There is a place called Kensington Palace. It is a museum. It introduced some kings and queens. It also introduced Queen Victoria.

The museum was very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very large so we went to a Café to take a rest.

We fed the pigeons even though I think their faeces are not really good because maybe you will be sick if pigeon's faeces touches you. Dad said maybe you will die.

We went to the Cartoon Museum and the London Transport Museum. It was really fun. Then we went home. My final steps were 21212 + 5.

I think today I felt happy because today I got lots of steps and we went to a park to feed the pigeons. I think my sister and I are very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very kind. I hope the pigeons had a great lunch. Do you like to feed animals? See you guys in next blog. Goodbye!

Yu’s London diary 8: Line up

Hi! Everybody. My name is Yu and today I’m gonna tell everyone about that today we all woke up really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really early and then we lined up for about 3 hours in total today. I think that is a really big number. I think that is incredible.

In the morning, we woke up really early at 7:30 and we ate breakfast, but I was very tired because I never woke up so early for about the month.

We walked for about half an hour and we went to Churchill War Room. There are lots of people lining up to enter the museum. We have to line up in the really really long line even though we have London pass. That is a really long time so my sister and I was really boring. We played a game called one person one line and I think that is fun. Let me tell you the rule.

The app we used to play this game is Note. If you have an iPad, then you would have this app if you didn’t delete it. So check your iPad or iPhone. You need two or more players. First, you need to create a new note. Then, press the button at the right slide bottom. One person can only draw one line a time. When you think the picture is good, then a game ended. There are two game modes. I will tell all of you guys later.

The first mode is that there is no any topic so the picture will be really creative. All of the people might draw different things, so maybe the picture will be really crazy.

The second mode is that someone will think about the thing and tell everybody. The thing will be the topic that everyone is drawing. This will be easier and the picture will be normal, but it will not be very creative.

I think today I felt happy because today I introduced a game called one person one line and the reason we made this game is because the waiting line is so long, and that is just really boring. So we want to have a game to play together. See you guys in the next blog. Bye-bye!

Yu's London diary 7: Royal Mews!

Hi! Everybody. My name is Yu, and today I want to tell everybody about that today we went to the Royal Mews. There are lots of carriages inside and they are all for the royals.

This carriage is for carrying the crowns from the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace.

This is the Glass Carriage. It got the name because there are three windows on this carrier and this is why it got the name. It is really beautiful because there's lots of gold and glass on it.

This is the royal car. The queen will sit on it.

This is the most fancy carriage in the whole world because there are lots of gold on it and I think it will be really expensive. The two men in front of the carriage are the sea gods. The carriage is made in 250 years ago and at that time, United Kingdom had the most powerful navy in the world. There are three kids on the top of the gold carriage but unfortunately you can't see. One kid is England and the another one is Scotland, and the last kid is Ireland.

After that, we went to see da Vinci's drawing and he learned the thing he wanted to learn and I want to be like him.

I think today I felt happy because today we went to the Royal Mews, and we saw lots of kind of carriages and some are really awesome like the gold carriage. Gold is expensive so maybe the whole carriage will be really really really really really really really expensive, but that really looks good. There are two sea gods and there are also three kids holding up a crown so I like it. See you guys in the next blog, bye-bye!

Yu's London diary 6: Towers in London!

Hi everyone! My name is Yu and today I'm going to tell everyone that today we went to two towers in London. One in the Tower of London, and the another one is London Tower Bridge. So let's get started!

In the morning, Dad woke me up. We ate our breakfast and I drank a cup of milk. I think it is yummy. Then I started to shake my tablet to make some steps. I just got 500 steps this time.

After that we went to the Tower of London. When the staff is checking my backpack, she found my friend Squirtle and she also asked me if Squirtle bought a ticket. I think it is funny.

We also saw some lions so I think it's really cool.

This is where the king sleeps.

This is where the king sits.

This is the toilet in the Tower of London. If you defecate, your faeces will just roll over and over, at last, it will land on the field so I think it is a pretty good design. I think the person who built this is really smart.

Then went to the most famous bridge in the world called the London Tower Bridge. Actually, there are two towers on the bridge. One is the north tower and the another one is the south tower.

This is the picture I took from the east bridge. Do you think this is really high?

After a while, we went down the south tower. We also went to the place that the tower bridge opens. If you are not careful, maybe your phones will drop from London Tower Bridge all the way down to River Thames. So please be careful if you want to take a photo of it.

I think today I felt happy because today we went to the towers in London and I took lots of pictures and I showed them all to all of you guys. See you guys in the next blog, bye-bye!

Yu's London diary 5: Going to lots of places

Hi! Everybody. My name is Yu and today I want to tell everybody about that today we went to the Old Operating Theatre Museum. There are two quizzes. They are like adventure games. It is really fun. I love it.

In the morning, we woke up really early because we are going to the Shakespeare's Globe. We thought the tour guide starts at 11 o'clock but it actually starts at 2:30. When we went there, the staff said we need to wait until 2:30. So I took a very good picture of Mom. The picture is cute.

Then we went to the Millennium Bridge. I took a picture of Walkie Talkie. It is the picture below. Dad said London people think it is the ugliest building in London. Do you think it is beautiful?

When we were going to the monument to the great fire of London, we saw some police officers riding horses and I think that is cool.

After that we went to a pizza restaurant and then I think that is really yummy. We ordered two tiramisu and we ate it really fast. It is really tasty. Then we went to St. Paul's Cathedral.

Next, we went to the monument to great fire of London. We also went to the Old Operating Theatre Museum. There are two quizzes and you need to find the number in the whole room. There are hints and I think that is fun. There's also a white quiz but this quiz is harder so we worked with Dad and Mom.

Finally, we went to our last stop today which is The Shard. We saw lots of different buildings. We saw London Eye, Tower of London, London tower bridge, and even our hotel, so I think it is amazing.

I think today I felt happy because today we went to lots of places and I think today is a really fun day because we play the adventure game and finding buildings game so I love today. See you guys in the next blog. Bye-bye!
