Yesterday morning we went to the Royal London Hospital. Joan said the hospital was brand new. I was very impressed on how the hospital was built, it had some interesting architecture. We then took a tour of some of the historic aspects of the hospital. Our guide showed us some of the old tools they used for operations. These tools had wooden handles, which lead to infections. He also said they did many techniques that gave people infections, but they thought they were useful at the time. One particular subject I found interesting was The Elephant Man. He was a man that was born very disfigured and wore a big hat that covered his head. Our tour guide said that his head was as big as his waist. One of his hands was as small as a women's, but the other was abnormally enlarged. After the museum, me, Seth and Alex went looking for a few shops. We were looking for a store called Holland & Holland, which is a very famous outdoor sporting brand, only three stores in the world. We also went to a store called Cult, which is a Japanese clothing brand. We got lost a few times trying to find these stores, I would say we walked for about two hours. After the shopping, we got reservations to Icebar London. This was one of the coolest things we've done on the trip. The bar was located underground and we had to wear special coats to keep us warm. Everything in this bar was ice, including the glasses we were given. It was a very cool experience!
