London-checked.

Big Ben (inside the clock tower)
I was able to finally put a check mark on the list of cities to visit for London after all these years. I guess my earliest impressions of London would include: red double decker buses (like the ones on this one keropok packaging, if you know what I mean), every child's play song "London bridge is falling down" (which I found out was partly true because the London bridge--not the Tower bridge--did spoil and had to be repaired), the movie "Parent Trap" (all the white buildings, streets bustling with taxis, zebra crossings...), River Thames, and the royal family.
It was a lovely visit with my mom and grandma. London, I will be back. :)
