▶️ Please take a look at the following placeholder text (=meaningless text, esp. for design):
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

❓What’s the problem?
❗️ The two paragraphs are marked by both indents (=space at the beginning of a line) and line breaks (=empty line). Choose one style only!
❗️ Indents are used in books and magazines for long, printed texts. They help us save paper. Online texts usually have line breaks. We can say that indents are a little bit old-fashioned nowadays.

#50 Travelogue UK: Night-seeing in London
People who don’t travel much dream of sightseeing and taking photos in front of famous landmarks. I find it more interesting at night when you don’t have to share with so many tourists. Check out London by night:
• Big Ben and Houses of Parliament
Big Ben is actually only the bell inside the clock tower. The Houses of Parliament is the seat of the British government.
• Westminster Abbey
Britain’s most important church where all the royal weddings are held.
• Buckingham Palace
Where Queen Elizabeth II. lives.
• Trafalgar Square
A busy square full of tourists and pidgeons with a statue of Admiral Nelson who died in a victorious sea battle against France and Spain.
• The London Eye
The big Ferris wheel built for a celebration welcoming the year 2000.
• Piccadilly Circus
A big road junction with iconic illuminated advertising.
• Oxford Street
London’s busiest street for shopping.
