October 22nd, Transportation

Today we went to the transportation museum and I thought this was extremely interesting. Since London was the first city to have an underground it was cool to see how that thought process became reality and became the basis for all undergrounds around the world. I thought the way the museum was set up was also cool, and I'm glad we went there because this isn't a place I would have thought of going to. After that it was the scavenger hunt, which my team may have not done well, but it was fun walking through the town with a purpose like that. After we went to Selfridges we went to see a film at a extremely nice movie theatre. Here we saw Looper, which was an amazing film. I'm so happy I got a chance to see it. Looper was much more like a movie I'd be willing to watch many times. It had a simple plot brought to the viewer in an extravagant way and did not disappoint. It is the type of film that regains your faith in the films, which are being produced today.

Why did London start the underground system? I'm surprised no other city ever thought of the idea. It seems so simple yet London was the only city brave enough to try it. I mean in order to get across the city fast, why wouldn't you think to just travel underground. But the technology wasn't there and London took matters into their own hands. They may of had to destroy the streets of their city, but with good reason because they changed history and transportation forever.
