We woke up. That's were our problems started this particular Tuesday. We were late so ran down for some breakfast and still found our selves there 5 minutes before our group were going to meet. Ran back upstairs and did our make-up at the same time as we brushed our teeth (not me..I get to that later). We made it on time. Woho!

Our group is made up of Lovisa, Bea, Linn, Tova, Joakim, Kristian, Micke, Adam, Johan and me myself of course. We were going to Docklands. And it took a while.. about an hour and a half maybe.
When we finally got there at least I were amazed by all the glass! All the buildings were made by it..Shiny.. Almost immediately a guard told us that we couldn't take pictures of some bank building. Okay we said and continued our exploring. Lovisa, Bea, Linn, Tova and me did some kind of teamwork. Lovisa asked the questions, Tova recorded it, Linn filmed it, Bea drew it and I took pictures of it, so we would have much to work with later. After a while Tova and I just documented the surroundings, I had the film camera and she the tape recorder. Suddenly a police came up to us and asked what we were doing. He wanted to see what we had on the camera. He also asked us if we've heard about terrorists, and said that we couldn't take pictures of any surveillance cameras or entry's. We also had to go to one of the buildings and talk to some.. security chief.. So, we did that. We asked the lady in the reception who we should talk to and she phoned someone that I talked to. I didn't understand everything he said because he spoke quite fast and whit some kind of accent, but I got the overall message.

So, we went back to the group and told them the information that we had received. No pictures of entry's or cameras and we were not allowed to stop people and talk to them, so no interviews. Our time at Canada Square was pretty much over for today anyway, so we met up with Felicia and the other class and went back to central London were the rest of our class was.
We were heading for the Design Museum. Karin, Magnus and Felicia told us that we had to stay there for al least an hour. That actually seemed like an awful lot of time when there only was one room too look in.

After the visit to the museum we got free time until dinner. So I went with a couple of the girls to Oxford Street. I forgot to tell before but after that shower @ Sara&Vera's, when I got back to our room, I realised that I'd forgot my toothbrush at home. Back to Oxford Street. I saw a Boots, a bought a new, shiny toothbrush!

We went to some more stores, and I bought a pair of pyjama pants @ David&Goliath. It was happy popcorns on them. We slowly transferred back to the hotel for some chill mode in Sara&Vera's room. Again. We hung out on their balcony until dinner time. Today, thankfully, the restaurant actually understood that they had to prepare a 70-people dinner BEFORE we got there. So we didn't have to wait for the food for like one and a half hour this time.

 

After dinner, we gathered in our groups so we could talk about what we would do tomorrow. Compiled our information a bit. Talked to Karin, Magnus and Felicia too, about what we think of the place and what we would concentrate on tomorrow since we weren't allowed to interview anyone.

 

Just chilled the evening through, and got in bed in a reasonable time. Both Bea and Lovisa were actually awake when I got to our room! Amazing...
