Walk in the rain
[2007.06.27] It was raining in the evening, so I just had a Singapore Laksa near my hotel. Since the night does not get dark until 11pm, I decided to take a walk in the misty light rain.
Along the Cromwell Rd., there are many classical buildings painted in fairly fresh white, make the street a little upscale. I think most of them are apartments. Maybe students at the Imperial College and the Royal College of Music live those buildings. Just walked by two blocks, the Natural History Museum stands on the other side of street. It looks like a typical grand Church, which I guess was designed by Prince Albert. Right next to it, it is Victoria & Albert Museum. Unlike his wife, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert is not interested in ruling, but is a talented artist and architect. He set forth the design and construction of magnificant structures in this Kensington area.
When I got to Knightsbridge, it is getting late (although still plenty of daylight), I took a two-level bus and sat on the upper deck to view the city while going back.
