London Bridge is falling down

I think, London had the most convenient and user friendly public transport system. Signage for metro is very clear, you can easily found a metro station in London than Paris. Beside that, you just need to purchase an oyster card (like our touch n go), each trip cost about GBP1.60, you can returned the card and took back all balance + deposit. So good! Although i only spend 1 whole day in london city, but i am feeling like i had been living here for 10 years already.London was very must exciting and happening city compare with Amsterdam. I am so awake to everything although i never sleep on the night before. We took the metro to Tower Bridge. Not far from the tower bridge, it stand Tower of London. If had time and budget, i think is a good place to visit. There was crown jewel kept in this tower.
We can saw this building from far, it really look like a driller. From Tower of London, we walk toward the tower bridge.
Dang dang! Tower Bridge! I never know this bridge before i came to London, so paisey. The bridge was paint with the blue color which Queen E like the most. And it is more beautiful from london bridge.
We walked cross the Tower Bridge and walked toward London bridge. However, London bridge is only famous in the song, not in reality. Everyone told me that i will get disappointed when saw the london bridge and its true! Only under the bridge its engrave london bridge. What the...
From London Bridge, we took a metro to Big Ben. When came out from the metro, wow, its London Eye!
I had a bad experience here because i had been forced by a lady to make donation to some sort of "world children day"?? What make me angry was she do not accept coin! She only want note. And do you know the smaller note in pound was GBP 5?! Which is about RM25! i would rather donate it to Malaysia's child in this case. Regardless on her reaction, i just gave her 1 pound and walked away. Hey is RM5.50 , really gave face liao.
On this part of river Thames laid Webminster bridge. On the left had side was London Eye and Aquarium, on the right hand side was the big ben and parliament house.This was the place where every tourist will came when they were in london, this is the place where the wonder of London unfurl.
