Excursion to Tate Modern


Yesterday we were on a trip to London to learn about art. In the morning, I thought it would be an atrocious day because I was so tired and I had not slept much because one of the guys in my room snores every night. It is annoying. But after I got on the bus I was in high spirits because the others were so awake and full of energy. The bus trip was fun but also exhausting.
I can not remember that I have ever seen a city with so much soft dirt like London, maybe Paris, but I am not sure. Very curious. In London, after we got out of the bus, we crossed the millenium bridge and went straight to the Tate Modern. The access is free and so we entered in quickly. It is an impressive museum. There are so many works of famous artists shown, so
I could not see all but I tried to see over all. In one room, there is an exhibition about sex and violence where they have used force to demonstrate art. Really strange but also interesting. We spent two hours in the museum and than we walked along the Thamse and went to a shopping mall where we could buy some food and tourist stuff. Paul and I attended the strangest restaurant in the world. In the countries where I live, it is normal that a steward brings the menu and asks for orders but in this one, we had to do all on our own. I was really surprised. We had sadly not enough time to eat in there so we took a small lunch in a fastfood factory.
