#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.

This song is from ...
Bingo!
👍 Mongolia was the correct answer. The style of the music tells you it is somewhere Russian or Russianised but the language isn’t Russian at all but sounds harsh as if the singer was Genghis Khan.
👎 Armenia is Russianised enough but the language doesn’t match. Russia may have been a possibility if you thought of the Buryats, an ethnic group living between the Baikal Lake and Mongolia. Belarus was wrong, the language would have been much closer to Russian.
