This weekend I got the chance to visit the Imperial War Museum. Now, I would have to say it was a museum that was never on my list of "must see" in the city. However, my friend Jess said the
museum was very good so we meet up on Sunday to visit the place.
Inside, there were a number of different exhibits featuring different wars which
Britain participated in (most of them). The museum also had many weapons, planes, and tanks you could look at. The U.S. Department of Energy has provided a replica of one of the bombs we dropped on Japan. How nice of them!
Almost all of our time was spent on two exhibits, genocide and the Holocaust. Talk about a downer! However, the exhibits were really good and while Jess and I were almost in tears by the time we left listening to video after video of horrific accounts, I was glad that I visited the museum.
After the museum, we walked around South London and I got to see the door of Bridget Jones! If you have seen the movies, she is featured coming out of this door (below) multiple times.

Ohh, is that a Mini in the corner of your picture? I heart Minis.
dude, I went to the equivalent of the Imperial War Musem in Athens four years ago. Lots of weapons, guns, and some tanks & shit. Lots about the battles with Cypress. You know, nationalist stuff. Must say, not exactly my fave... I, too, though, was very interested in the World War II section.
