Last Week In March

I am very sad that it is the last week in March because that means I only have one month left! :-( My time here is going to fast, it needs to slow down!

Even though I had just came back from a weekend in Berlin, the tourism never ends! On Monday, March 23 I went out with Carly to see more of London! First we went to the changing of the guard. The whole thing is pretty anti-climatic. There are so many people there it is really hard to see anything.

































































But it reminded me of a nursery rhyme Nana use to sing to me so I googled it and found it right away!!

Buckingham Palace
by A.A. Milne

They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace -
Christopher Robin went down with Alice.
Alice is marrying one of the guard.
"A soldier's life is terribly hard,"
Says Alice.

We saw a guard in a sentry-box.
"One of the sergeants looks after their socks,"
Says Alice.

We looked for the King but he never came.
"Well, God take care of him, all the same,"
Says Alice.

A face looked out, but it wasn't the King's.
"He's much too busy a-signing things,"
Says Alice.

"Do you think the King knows all about me?"
"Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea,"
Says Alice



Ahhh it makes me so happy to find this. It really is so cute!

After the changing of the guard we went over the British Museum. The Egyptian, Greek, and Roman stuff is by far the best part. They have a massive Egypt collection and I am pretty sure they stole at least half of the Pantheon haha. One thing I really like was a 5000 year old body, it was so fascintating, I think I looked at it for 10 minutes. Poor Carly, she hates bodies/dead people/ crypts so she had to stand aside and wait for me. We are started to get museumed out though so wed left pretty soon after that.



























































































My friends Hillary and Ashley are trying to get me to branch out on my food tastes so on Tuesday, March 24 we met after work and went to a sushi restaurant near our dorm in South Kensington. It was okay, I think my most enjoyable experience with sushi yet, but its not my favorite.

Wednesday, March 25 I saw Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. It was amazing and so well done! I loved it especially because I could see the orchestra and I love watching the strings.

Thursday, March 26 I went to see "Confessions of a Shopaholic" with Carly and my co-intern Masha. It was such a fun, cute movie!

Friday, March 27 Masha and I went to the other KPMG office down in the "The City" to help at a charity event. The event was a 25,000 meter rowing race! Each KPMG department had a team of 4 people that would rotate the rowing until they had finished. The event was really fun (with lots of free food for volunteers!) and raised 19,000 pounds for alzhiemers. That is almost 30,000 dollars! I really respected KPMG for the event and thought that it was a fun way to get employees involved and raise money in a fun way.

Even though it was Friday, I stayed in to rest up for my trip to Amsterdam the next day!
