But it is more crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the portion is larger. (Maybe it's because most fish and chip shops in New Zealand are contracted by Asians) The authentic way to eat fish and chips is to add salt and vinegar to them. In addition, lemon can be used to squeeze on the fish, and white tartar sauce is also a common ingredient. In any restaurant.
If you see a "Reserved" sign on the table, it means that the table has been reserved, and it would be considered very impolite to sit there. Their fish and chips are really good, although the price is a bit expensive, but for this name, if you come to the UK, if you just want to try their "proud" national dish once.
It is better to choose a reliable, good and old store like Rock&Soleplaice. The Rock&SolePlaice address: Endell Street, Covent Garden, London, WCHAJ. You can take the subway and get off at Covent Garden Station. I felt a little unwell today, around 3 p.m.
I went home and slept directly. Reply to the post of ...
Located in Russell Square, north of New Oxford Street in London, England, it was founded in 1991 and officially opened to the public on January 2005. It is the world's oldest and most magnificent comprehensive museum, and one of the world's four largest and most famous museums. The museum houses many cultural relics and treasures from all over the world.
The collections are rich and varied, and are rarely seen in museums around the world. The British National Museum has more than 10,000 pieces of collections. Due to space limitations, a large number of collections cannot be exhibited publicly. Take the Northern Line or Central Line, get off at Tottenham Court Road Station, and walk about 100 meters.
Take the Piccadilly Line or Central Line. Get off at Holborn Station and walk about 100 meters. Other subway stations close to the museum include Russell Square Station on the Piccadilly Line and Goodge Street Station on the Northern Line, but you need to walk about 100 meters after getting off. Tickets: Free.
The tour guides are available in Chinese, English, Korean, French, German, Russian, Japanese and other languages. You can rent them by pledging your ID card. The rental fee is £ for adults, £ for those aged 25-30, and £ for those under 18. Opening hours: daily from 12:00 to 12:00, extended to 12:00 on Friday (closed on 12:00, 12:00, 12:00, and 12:00) There is one high, one low and one free in the UK. The high price is high, the low salary is low, and the free museum is free.
Since traveling to the UK and finding that prices are so high, there is nothing to be ashamed of visiting free museums. Visit the British Museum. Start with the reading room. In the central hall of the British Museum there is a famous huge circular reading room [Reading Room], which originally belonged to the British Library. In 1989, due to the overcrowding of the British Museum.
The British Library was officially separated from the British Museum and moved to a new building. After renovation in 1997, the reading room of the British Library has been restored to its former glory and is open to the public. The famous Marx's "Capital" was written and completed in the British Library. The architecture of the British Museum's reading room is full of characteristics.
It was once praised as "a round palace of blue, white and gold". Standing in the middle and looking around, it feels like a circular screen cinema filled with books! Visitors here will be shocked into silence. Many Chinese tourists have read in elementary school textbooks that the diligent and knowledgeable Marx once wrote "Das Kapital" in the famous British Library.
Marx sat in a fixed seat for many years. When thinking about problems, he would pace around. Over time, obvious footprints were worn under the table. Yunluo wants to clarify this beautiful legend. There is no such thing as Marx's footprints. The seat where Marx sat in the reading room of the British Museum when he wrote Capital is still preserved.
Very ordinary seats. The staff of the British Museum have never heard of the so-called "Marx's footprints". Starting from the central hall of the British Museum, find the stairs and go up. The upstairs Hall of the Hall of the Numbers is the most popular Ancient Egypt Hall in the museum. The Egyptian Hall has the most complete Egyptian funeral relics outside of Egypt.
The huge exhibition hall is filled with sculptures of gods and pharaohs, mainly from the spoils plundered by British explorers in the 18th century. As for the most famous Egyptian mummies, there are so many that it is impossible to count them. How many Egyptian mummies are there in the British Museum?
The British themselves said that they have much more cultural relics on display than Egypt. Yunluo has never been to Egypt, but he heard that this is not bragging. If the British robbers could lift the pyramids, they would have lifted them here long ago. Walking through the Egyptian Pavilion, it seems that I have also walked through the beliefs and history of the Egyptians. Facing the exhibits in the room, it seems that I only understand one sentence - death and eternal life.
In the world of mortals, I am afraid that no one can be as thorough and firm as the ancient Egyptians in regarding death as a bridge to eternal life. I don't remember who once said this. For the Egyptians, the opposite of death is life, and the positive of death is also life. If you ask, do people have souls? The Egyptians' answer is affirmative: not only do they have souls.
And eternal. The ancient Egyptians believed that every life is composed of visible flesh and invisible soul - Ba. The soul Ba is like a bird with a human head. When death occurs, Ba leaves the human body, but the corpse remains the basis for Ba's existence. When Ba and the flesh are reunited in the afterlife, the dead will be resurrected and gain eternal life.
Therefore, properly preserving the body became the guarantee for the Egyptians to achieve eternal life. Thus, there were carefully made and preserved mummies. In the earliest times, the Egyptians used dry and hot sand to preserve the bodies, digging shallow pits in the desert to bury their relatives. At that time, they did not use coffins, but buried them directly in a bent side-lying position.
In the Predynastic Period (BC-2000), people believed in the afterlife. So simple burial objects were placed in the tombs. At the end of the Predynastic Period (about 2000 BC), tombs with mud brick walls and wooden pillars as roofs appeared, and straw mats and wicker baskets were used to protect the bodies. At that time, the museum had mummies on display along with the burial pits, and Yunluo saw them.
Perhaps it is a kind of reverence for the dead. Yunluo did not take any photos. Suggestions for visiting the ancient Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum: If possible, you should first visit the mummies in the Ancient Egyptian Hall upstairs, otherwise it will become more and more crowded as you go back. Among so many mummies in the British Museum, pay attention to this ancient Egyptian mummy in the glass cabinet in the exhibition hall.
Before arriving at the British Museum, this mummy had been buried in the sand for many years! Because of its reddish brown hair, it was called "Red Hair". The pharaohs and nobles of ancient Egypt believed that they could continue to enjoy the glory and wealth of this life in the afterlife, so they buried the items that might be used in the afterlife with themselves. In the British Museum.
You can see many unearthed ancient Egyptian sculptures and cultural relics. Our China Pavilion is one of the most popular exhibition halls besides the Egyptian Pavilion. Many treasures of our Celestial Empire can be found here. Tang Sancai jewelry accessories and weapons from ancient times, small and exquisite snuff bottles and various porcelains are really beautiful. Yunluo accidentally discovered the Qingming Shanghe Tu.
Yunluo was shocked. She didn't remember that our Qingming Shanghe Tu was lost. After carefully reading the description, she found that it was a copy. When she was about to leave after visiting the Chinese Pavilion, she was attracted by the Mayan Pavilion. The Mayan Pavilion exhibited a large number of unearthed cultural relics, replicas, pictures, videos, etc., showing the excavation results of many archaeological sites.
Yunluo and An Chuyu have a better understanding of the history and living customs of the ancient Maya. It is shocking that the ancient Maya reached a high level in painted pottery, murals, sculptures, architecture, writing, astronomy, calendar, medicine and mathematics. The pottery and jade made by the Maya are very finely crafted. The sculptures and murals are distinctive.
The images are lifelike. Many of the architectural projects they built were large-scale, rigorously laid out, and sophisticatedly crafted. The achievements of the ancient Maya in mathematics, astronomy, and other fields were beyond the reach of Europeans. They used the concept of "zero" years earlier than Europeans. The Maya had long mastered the solar eclipse cycle and the laws of the movement of the sun, moon, and some stars.
On this basis, they created a highly accurate calendar. However, the mystery that has not been fully explained is that the once glorious Mayan culture suddenly and mysteriously declined in the early 20th century AD. After the 20th century, the Toltecs who came south from the Mexican Plateau and the remaining Mayans partially revived in the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula.
But it is incomparable with the heyday of Mayan culture. After the invasion of Spanish colonists, it never recovered. The Mayans had a prophecy, the first of which came true. The last one is the end of the world. The Mayans said that after the night of the year, the dawn of the month will never come. According to the Mayan prophecy, Yunluo and An Chuyu now live on the earth.
It is already the so-called solar era. So far, the Earth has gone through four solar eras, and at the end of each era, a thrilling destruction plot will be staged. When passing by the African Pavilion, the black man was playing the woooooosela. The International Hearing Organization conducted a decibel test on the woooooosela and found that its sound exceeded decibels.
It is enough to cause damage to people's hearing. After coming out of the British Museum, I felt a little hungry, so I found a cafe and ate something. There was a small episode. The beautiful waiter asked Yunluo enthusiastically, what kind of drink do you want? Yunluo casually said tea (Yunluo meant green tea or something like that), but what Yunluo got was English milk tea.
Later, Yunluo learned that in the UK, almost everyone drinks at least one cup of English milk tea every day. Here, tea is synonymous with English milk tea. At the entrance of the National Gallery, I met a black friend who was performing to make money. This phenomenon is quite common on the streets of London. It reminded Yunluo of when he was in Paris, there were so many unsettling black thieves everywhere.
The black vendors surrounding you. In comparison, this black brother performing on the street deserves much more respect. Yunluo and An Chuyu wandered around the National Gallery, just for Van Gogh's "Sunflowers". From now on, "Shaun the Sheep" with different costumes and characteristics of different countries will be scattered all over London, such as Trafalgar Square.
They can be found in the Tower of London and other places. This is the first sheep Yunluo found, in Trafalgar Square, in front of the National Gallery. Yunluo did not go looking for sheep according to the sheep map. Yunluo likes to go with the flow. Just meeting this sheep by chance means that Yunluo and this sheep are destined to be together. Today is the museum day when Yunluo and An meet for the first time.
Resting on the grass in front of the Natural History Museum in London. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not go home for dinner tonight. Yunluo and An Chuyu have been in London for a few days and have not taken photos of the night scene of London. Tomorrow night, LG's cousins and their families will gather at my aunt's house. Tonight is Yunluo and An Chuyu's last chance.
Fortunately, the night view did not disappoint Yunluo. Yunluo and An Chuyu used to call this bridge London Bridge, but London Bridge is not the one in the picture. This bridge is Tower Bridge. The real London Bridge is actually a very ordinary bridge. The second lamb was found on Tower Bridge! Barbecue Party There are many reasons to fall in love with a city.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Its scenery or its people; a movie scene or a romantic story; a legendary hero or perhaps a period of history. There are many reasons why people fall in love with London. You can find the corresponding one in this city. However, among all the reasons why you fall in love with London, there is no way that food is the reason.
This is the biggest flaw of this city and even this country. Yunluo believes that anyone with a normal sense of taste would never think that British cooking is delicious. A few years ago, I was chatting with a German sitting next to me on a plane. He told Yunluo: British cooks everything, but not taste. Yunluo now understands.
This is the truth. If Chinese tourists want to have a delicious meal in London, there is only one place, and that is Chinatown. Chinatown, the Chinese gathering area in London. Also known as Chinatown or London Chinatown, it is located in a prime location with very convenient transportation, only a stone's throw away from Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives.
The Chinatown in London has a history of more than 200 years. There are archways at each of its main entrances, with words such as "London Chinatown" and "Peace and Prosperity". The archways with ethnic characteristics have become one of the three scenic spots in London's Chinatown. London's Chinatown is not very large, consisting of a main street and several side streets.
There are nearly 100 Chinese restaurants in London's Chinatown, which is a good place for Chinese tourists to have a good meal and also attracts a large number of international tourists. The third sheep with Chinese characteristics was found in Chinatown, and it is also the last sheep found in London this time. The early Chinese basically came from Hong Kong. Chinatown has a strong flavor and has been lived in for many years.
Yunluo has long been accustomed to the morning tea culture. Unfortunately, the place where Yunluo and An Chuyu chose to drink tea was average and did not have the atmosphere of morning tea. Yunluo and An Chuyu's theme yesterday was museums. Today's theme Yunluo and An Chuyu chose open-air markets. Speaking of open-air markets in London, of course the first choice! The first recommendation! It must be this "garden" located in the city center.
Perhaps the reason why this is the "most lively" is that it is located in the most prosperous area of London. Generally, people come to Piccadilly Circus, walk to Leicester Square, and then go directly to Covent Garden. Among all the open-air markets in London, Covent Garden must be the most "convenient" to go.
Covent Garden is mainly composed of Apple Market, Jubilee Market and East Colonnade Market. The stalls in the market mainly sell antiques, handicrafts, various decorations and tourist souvenirs. In addition, there are a variety of small shops around the market, selling clothing, tea sets, jewelry, toys, and picture albums.
Another attraction of Covent Garden is that it is one of the largest gathering places for street performers in London. Every day they present various interesting street performances to tourists. In addition, there is an "Apple Store" that is known as the largest in Europe. Among all the street performers, this little black guy is the most popular.
The humorous language, exaggerated body movements, and interaction with the audience won warm applause. In the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu came to another market---Portobello Market Covent Garden, a small apartment painted in various colors. Portobello Market is one of the most famous and largest antique open-air markets in the world.
Its "famous" status may be due to a movie, "Notting Hill" starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, which was filmed in this lively antique market. The nearest subway station: Notting Hill Gate is said to be a paradise for food, but Yun Luo has no appetite when he sees it.
My aunt is a lovely old lady. Before arriving in London, she was worried that Yunluo could not speak Cantonese and didn't know how to communicate with her. She didn't expect Yunluo's Cantonese to be quite good. Yunluo and An Chuyu had a very good chat. Thank you for the warm hospitality of my aunt and her family, and thank you for my uncle's good cooking skills. I am not used to the food in the past half month.
Yunluo and Anchuyu had a serious fever, sore throat, cough, mouth ulcers, etc. Thanks to the old-fashioned soup cooked by my uncle and the delicious Cantonese cuisine, Yunluo and Anchuyu recovered quickly. I have been taking the subway in London for a few days. Today I wanted to take a red double-decker bus to travel around London, but I have never experienced the double-decker bus, a special feature of London. (~^~)
