Wow. Busy day that we had.
For starters, we were supposed to go to LegoLand (A place where there are gazillions of Legos, all built into fancy shapes and stuff.), but it was closed (talk about shit). So what we did was we just went to the Windsor castle (where the Queen and her family stays for vacation, I think. I wasn't listening. =)) ) and it may sound geeky and stuff, but I liked it. It was fun. Oh right, I haven't told you about the audio guide... The audio guide was what made it fun. Really. There's this remote-like thing, that you press buttons in, and then when you press the play button, it guides you throughout the Windsor castle. Amazing. Haha. Instead of choosing the English-Adult Mode, I chose the Family version, just for fun. It had this story of Horace (who's the tour guide) who has lived in the castle long enough to say everything about it. It's really kind of fun. Plus, you don't look stupid when you practically stare your eyes of in the ceilings. My gehd, you should go there, 'cause the rooms there have the weirdest history. For example, the King's bedroom. It's not really his bedroom, he just uses it to make the extra-special guests feel important. Why is that? Because, you really don't just let anyone into your bedroom, unless they're really important, am I right? And the bedroom's ultra complete. With the fireplace and the I-want-to-sleep-in-that-bad-and-feel-like-a-princess bed. Beautiful.
And there's this doll collection, and a dollhouse. It's not your typical dollhouse, everything there is real. It's just the mini version of the whole Palace! There's real gold, and real iron. You have to see it, to get my point here. Too bad we can't take pictures. Hey, maybe google has some pictures. Let me check.
Saw some. Post it sometime, I guess. C'mon, it's almost 12 here, you have to forgive me.
The doll house was owned by Queen Mary, and it was given to her as a present.
After the whole Windsor thing, we went to the Windsor Royal Shopping Centre (or however you call it) and we ate at EAT. Looked around, then went to Matteo's house.
My God, they are soo hyperactive. We even watched SpongeBob the Movie in Italian. Ohye. Haha.

I think that I was meant to live in London. Maybe in my previous life, I did. It's because I feel so at-home in here, and everything is just so fascinating. I find even their radio shows pretty funny, just like the ones here. So much for being patriotic, I want to live here.
Plus, I bought this book about the previous Kings & Queens of England (that's my souvenier from the Windsor castle. =)) ) and I read about Queen Victoria, my namesake. And we do actually have the same characteristics. Terrible temper, easily falls but crashes harder. And when she ruled, it was considered the Golden Age of England. She is a good leader.
And I'm not saying I'm a good leader too; I'm just saying I'm capable of being one.
