walked and laughed with each other. We’re
definitely grateful for being given this
opportunity to travel to London together.Mr Chan Sau Siong
This is my third time to London
and I was still equally excited
as London offers something very special –
diversity and acceptance. London has many
similar features to Singapore, but it is a more
cosmopolitan city. You could find a diverse
range of cultures, from European, Middle
Eastern to Asian. The range of restaurants
you can find would demonstrate this part
well. In terms of public education of the arts
and sciences, London is definitely one of the
best places as the entrance to the museums
are free of charge and well built for people
from all walks of life. Compared to my
previous trips, Londoners have become
more hospitable and friendly. In terms of
acceptance, London or the UK may be the
few that vegetarianism is so strong that every
restaurant would have a dish for vegetarians.
It is always so amazing to travel to the UK
for a vegetarian like myself. It has been a
great and fun trip!Ms Chia Wei Ling
The trip was very informative
as Ben had planned a very
educational itinerary which brought us to
a number of museums such as the British
Museum, the Victoria & Albert (V&A)
Museum, the National History Museum,
the Science Museum, a City tour of London
and a tour of the BBC Broadcasting House.Cultural heritage is superbly interesting
and the V & A puts it on display better
than anywhere else. Artefacts from every
human era and corner of the globe can be
found here, complimented by gorgeous
surroundings, which are beautiful displays
themselves. The entire building is a work
of fine art, with four different eras of
architecture knitted together seamlessly over
the last century as the museum's collections
expanded and expanded. The Natural
History Museum is up there with the finest
institutions London has to offer. Infinitely
fascinating, and staggeringly expansive, no
one trip can ever cover what you may hope
to see. There is only so much the human
brain can take in within a single day before
it struggles to focus on new topics and
process uncorrelated information - brain
fuzz, is what some might call that limit.
I absolutely love the Science Museum
because of the way it brings science to life.
There are seven floors to explore to your
curious mind’s content. The museum is
divided into wings, all showcasing a broad
range of topics from contemporary science to
technology. The Science Museum is a great
place for all ages and even more so for kids.
We had an excellent tour of the BBC
Broadcasting House and got to see an actual
live newsroom, sat on the famous green sofa
in the One Show studio, had an opportunity
to try reading the news, took part in a radio
play whilst creating very interesting sound
effects! Our guides were excellent and told us
a lot about the building and the history of the
BBC. All this and more thanks to the BBC
