Sadly, we left FSC this morning after a delicious breakfast. All of us said our final goodbyes to our tutors and took pictures with them before leaving. It was an emotional moment for all of us as we have definitely learnt a lot in the five days we spent there. Although we were sad to leave FSC and our wonderful tutors, we were excited and looking forward to the next part of our trip and that is LONDON!! Upon reaching, we met our tour guide, Sean, who is a humorous man from Scotland. As we roamed the streets of central London, he shared about the history and unique features of each place of interest with us. One common confusion that he pointed out to us is that the famous London Bridge is actually called the Tower Bridge!
We then headed to Covent Garden where we were given a short period of time to walk around and observe the shops, architecture and the culture of the place. It was intriguing to see the various buskers performing on the street. Then our guide, Riley, surprised us by bringing us to Jamie's Italian for dinner!! We had appetisers, pasta and desserts. It was an amazing experience to dine in a celebrity chef's restaurant! After the scrumptious dinner, we started for our final activity of the day: Wicked the Musical. While watching the musical, we took note of how the modern theatre portrayed mood and feelings through lightings, props and sound effects. Why is London so successful in its arts scene? Could Singapore's art scene be comparable to London's? Why or why not? These were the questions that we had to think about after the musical. Probably, the entire arts culture/ heritage is a lot richer in London as compared to Singapore.
This is all so cool! So fun to see all these places.
