Here is a bit of very English news which I read recently: Big Ben is being renovated and the refurbishing works revealed an old St George's flag. Now, Big Ben has always fascinated me, since I became an Anglohpile. The tower, the clock, the chimes of Big Ben especially, I always thought they were as cool as they were impressive. True story: my parents' doorbell has the same tune as Big Ben, except slightly out of tune for some reason. I only discovered this during our first visit to London back when I was eleven, the first time I ever heard Big Ben. So yes, long story short, Big Ben is one cool bell.

I like Big Ben too. I'll never forget my first glimpse of it in London -- so impressive!
