Knoxville to Bloomsbury: Benjamin Davis

I have had the time to get settled in and become aquatinted with the city, seeing how I have been residing in the Bloomsbury area for around two + weeks. I have had the wonderful opportunity to see some awesome things. Here goes nothing.

British Library:

• All of the original sacred texts from Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jewish, and a few other things I have never heard of. Yes, I got to see many of the first Bibles ever discovered and it was amazing.
• Shakespeares, Beowolf, hobbit. (Original Texts)
• Rough drafts of many of the famous Beetles songs.
• Magna Carta
• Bethoven original compositions. 
• And countless other scientific figures works. 

Needless to say, this has been by far my favorite place I have visited.

A few other places I have been that were interesting.

• Platform 9 and 3/4 at kings cross ( Harry Potter )
• Tour of Llyods of London (Its worth taking the time to look up)
• Saw the original copy of all recorded ship wrecks, which is still being updated today.(Llyods)
• British Museum: Original Rosetta Stone ( Not the program )

I have also planned out my spring break. I will be going all throughout the UK via Brit rail way. I will be visiting Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Ill be leaving from England. I will be taking this expedition with a friend of mine and it will just be us two.

Life in London is really strange. I live in a very ritzy part of London (Bloomsbury) where there are lots of extremely old buildings (1000's of years old). I must say growing up in the country and being thrown into this concrete jumble is a shock. I can accept this shock for now and learn lots of things but I could never live in a city like this. All in all though i am having an excellent time and making wonderful memories with some great people.
