il Giardino Romantico

As I was remorsing for the lost photos I had taken of the changing of the guards, all of a sudden I saw the following...

當我還正在為我刪掉衛兵交接典禮照片時，以下場景開始出現在我面前：

This is Buckingham Palace! Recall what I said before, that I lost all the photos I had taken on my first day? Well, I came here on my first day in London, and caught the changing of the guards. I made sure I did, so that I could have the photos and keep for all eternity. You can imagine how devastated I was when I discovered I had so stupidly deleted all the photos! 

這就是白金漢宮啦！還記得我之前說，我手殘把第一天的照片全都誤刪了嗎？其實讓我最心碎的就是因為我第一天來的就是這裡。而且我還有確認當天我可以看到禁衛軍交接典禮！你可以想像當我發現我誤刪照片時當時的心情嗎？

Don't leave the museum without taking something with you! Even though the gift shop is rather small, it's still packed with useful (and useless) souvenirs for yourself or for your Holmes fanatic friends. 

既然來了就別空手回家！雖然這禮品部不大，但裡面有許多有用（跟沒用的）紀念品。要收藏還是送給福爾摩斯迷的朋友都可以呢！

Whether a fan of the entire Sherlock Holmes, or a comic fanatic of the Japanese kid detective Conan, this is yet another place in London not to miss out on. If you don't have the time, it's still worth a Tube trip to see the station itself. 

無論你是福爾摩斯迷，還是名偵探柯南迷，倫敦又多了一個一定要去的地方！不過如果你真的沒時間，不妨至少經過一下車站。看看也好～

Remember what I said in the article on Bath Abbey Tower Climb? That an even bigger challenge awaited me? This was it! St. Paul's 500+ steps to the top of the tower! 

還記得我在巴斯修道院攀爬塔樓一文中提到說之後還會有更具挑戰的經驗等著我嗎？就是這裡！超過五百層階梯的塔樓攀爬！

If you walk along the Themes, and reach Tower Bridge, it'd be impossible to miss Tower of London. This historical site is such an impressive building because of all the famous lives involved. Even though this time round, I only walked around it, it was still quite intimidating to think of how these important historic people were used to be imprisoned, or even executed here! 

沿著泰晤士河走到倫敦塔橋就不可能錯過嫌眼的倫敦之塔。這具有歷史意義的建築物實在是很壯觀。光想到有多少歷史名人曾在這裡被關或甚至處死刑，就有股毛骨悚然的感覺！雖然這次我只是繞著走一圈，但還是有點畏懼的感覺呢！

This is the part 2 I'd told you about. It's not the same meal. We went there again and ordered different things. But as I used two different cameras, you can probably tell that I'm more used to my own camera, as the outcome is a lot clearer! So sometimes, it's not the person... but the equipment that affects the result!

這就是我之前提到的趴兔。不是同一餐。是我們又跑來一次，然後點了不同的東西。不過因為這兩篇用的圖是兩台不同的相機拍出來的，應該可以很明顯的看出兩者的差異！不是另外一台相機不好，是我比較習慣自己的。所以哩，有時候不是人的問題，而是工具的問題啊～～

英國Liverpool大學臺灣同學會聚餐將於2011年三月二十六日舉行。

當天中午12:00入席

Why is this only part 1 of 2? Like I said in the last article, I ended up eating so many meals of Japanese cuisine, that two of them were in the same restaurant! But don't worry, you'll get to see different things in these two different articles. 

為什麼這個會有兩篇呢？因為我上篇說過，這個年假吃好多日本料理。結果兩餐其實是在同一間餐廳！不過別擔心，兩篇貼的圖都不一樣！所以還是會很精采！

After a splendid meal at home, we spent the next few days dining out. Fortunate, or unfortunate, I ended up eating so many meals of Japanese food. Here's one that's located not far from our house. It's very Taiwanese, but the food's great. 

在家吃完了豐盛的一餐之後，接著我們就一直外食。我該高興嗎？因為最後我竟然吃了好多餐日本料理。生魚片吃到快吐了（可是還沒吐，我還要繼續吃）。這間箱根就在我們家附近。他其實是一間很台的日本料理。但是我覺得還不錯啦！

We ordered three combo meals to share among the four of us (one of us was absent from this meal). We asked them to serve the same dishes together, as we were sharing them.
