However, this has brought me down memory lane again. My 2004 summer break in London.
My visit to the Tower of London.
The place was awesome, except when it's really high up on the towers, the entrance are all blocked off or gated. Also, another strange thing is, the higher you go, the narrower the staircase become. I was surprised at this, b/c I had thought all the guys back then were chubby and probably wear layers of clothing....I wondered how they can get to the top of the tower.
Well, with my evil thoughts on the narrow staircase + chubby men. What happened next was a real shock to me!
As I was walking through the main hall, Henry VIII in full armor caught my attention. My first thought was...DAMN, this man is short and chubby, gosh, how did he attract all his wives?
My friend was pulling my hand urging me to go to the next room, and as soon as I had finished that thought, I spun around to leave.
I went straight into a pole!
The loud bang shocked all the tourists around me, and my glasses came splitting in half....
My friend couldn't stop laughing at me, and I had to pick up my glasses and run as fast as I can out the exit door.
My lesson?
Never, ever, make fun of the proud king - Henry VIII, whom despite his image, could rule a kingdom, and have 6 wives.
Yes, and I do believe he caused my whole embarrassing ordeal.
Nothing will be more memorable than cracking my head open @ the Tower of London
