On the third day the
German delegation explored the roads and sights of London in the morning.
The best idea the English ever had, was to
introduce the zebra crossings. We all knew that the traffic was organized differently
in Britain, with people driving on the left. But still, we wouldn’t have been
able to cross the road safely without this support or the written reminders
next to the curb stone.
Picadilly Circus was the first famous landmark we saw.
After that we we were very impressed by Trafalgar Square with Nelson’s Column. Also, our delegation had a lot of fun taking pictures on the lions in front of it. As you can see, it was very tricky to climb on the big and smooth animals.
At noon, we met the other delegations and had a picnic in the park by the River Thames in front of the Tate Gallery.
A cultural highlight we very much enjoyed was the musical “Blood Brothers” by Willy Russell, which we all saw in the afternoon.
We finished our day in London’s Chinatown in Soho where we had dinner together in a Chinese restaurant. There, we learned again something new, namely the difference between soft and crispy noodles. The crispy variation is a little bit undone. And this is not necessarily to everybody’s taste, which we found out on this occasion.
