Big Ben, Parliament House and Westminster Abbey

It had been more than 1 month since the last post. Hmm...until AY said my london bridge finished falling down. Paisey.
Well, i never though that the big ben and parliament house were such a beautiful buildings until i saw it with my own eye!Its was GOLD in color.I never walk near to the building, i just admired it across Westminster bridge. How do the genius architecture think of the design of this building?
虽然它是金色的,可是却能够给人一种祥和安宁的气氛。它完全没有那种金色应有的俗和霸气。和法国的凡赛尔宫截然不同。它是低调的,它是沉默的,尽管如此,它还是让人望而生威,在一片宁静中透露出它的不可冒犯和权威。
I not sure how the Britain felt about this building. 他们究竟应该感到骄傲,还是还在缅怀日不落国曾经辉煌的历史?Just think about it, 60 years ago, Malaysia still under the government of British. How many decision had been made in this parliament house? How many times, the name of Malaya had been brought up inside here?
Not far from the big ben, there was a place where i listed as a "Must GO" destination for this trip- Westminster Abbey.What so special about it? I dont think i will be interested on it until i read Da Vinci Code. One of the most famous scientist- Issac Newton was buried here. In this place, Langdon found out that the sphere which missing at Newton' tomb was the apple, Apple that inspired Newton came out with the theory of gravity. By completed this piece of puzzle, Langdon successfully solved the Sang Grail quest. I told myself, i must go to see Newton tomb.
However, unlike Langdon, i failed the quest! :( It was because i just found out the entrance fees cost me GBP15! Despite the expensive entrance fees, the major issue was tourists were not allow to take photo inside! What the FxxK!!! Of course i wanted to take photo inside! End up i didnt went in, end up i just took a photo outside the building instead of inside. =.="
