~Another day in an insane mind~

Went to the British Museum on Thursday, hoping to be able to see the terracotta army expo that’s been going on for the past few months….

.

Happily took the trains over to the city, and was among one of the many others who, I guess, had the same intention…. While walking through the main door amidst the sea of people, I went past 2 guys (British, maybe?) who saw me and suddenly stopped, bowed at me, said "konichiwa~!!" (FYI, that’s good afternoon in Japanese) and then walked off.

.

I stood there and gaped….

.

Unfortunately upon arriving at the ticket booths, we found that the tickets were sold out for the day and needed advanced booking! No online tickets were sold anymore either…..

.

It’s a good thing we had a plan B…. just spend some time wandering around the Museum proper and then go shopping~ *grins*

.

We went to the Japanese section, then to the Egyptian wing, and the European….

.

When our stomachs started grumbling, we attempted to find our way out towards the hotdog stand located right OUTSIDE the museum…. after several wrong turns, dead ends, unsure puttering and more stomach growling later….

.

Bliss~!

.

Scoffing down the hot dog with mustard, we went browsing in shops, had starbucks coffee (ice caramel machiatto for me~) and a blueberry cheesecake in a bookshop, and headed off home just in time to beat the traffic….

.

And the perfect ending for this day….

.

We watched Night at the Museum during dinner~
