Kevin here. We were supposed to wake up at 8 in the morning. I had set my alarms the night before and woke up the following day and thought to myself, "Excellent, I woke up earlier than I planned on." Then I looked at the clock on the telly, and saw that it read 8:25. I stared at it for a minute and then I woke up Billy and told him to look at the time. He also stared at the clock for a minute before saying "Crap." Then I looked at my phone and saw that it was only 8:11 and we were slightly relieved. We came downstairs to breakfast and Randy wasn't there to yell at us for being late. Luckily, Mr. Murray had covered for us. We ate our breakfast and took an open roof, double-decker bus tour, or two, of London. We then arrived at the Tower of London and ate fish and chips and the like for lunch. After finishing lunch, we went on a tour of the Tower where Billy and I were split up into different groups (families as some of us like to call them).
We left the guided tour and went into the main tower that everyone recognizes, called the White Tower. Very interesting history to the place. Lots of guns and swords and armor and such. We then split up again and my group decided to go to a Star Wars exhibit up the river. Afterwards, we made our way to the Hard Rock Cafe. We were supposed to arrive at 6 but our group could not catch the right bus because it was broken down so we had to wait 15 minutes for another one making us late. When we were done, my group decided to go back to the hotel because we were supposed to be awake for 5 in the morning. At the hotel we discovered a tv show (by the way, European television isn't censored very much) that seems to be the only reality show in the U.K. It is called "Big Brother" and you cannot understand a single person on the show or figure out the point of the show. Despite this, the show seems to be very popular; it is making headlines in newspapers, articles in magazines, and talked about in talk shows on the tube. We went to sleep at 2:30.

Anonymous:European censorship laws are different. They dont censore things like sex. But they do censor extreme violence on tv.
America is the opposite.
Or how Europe says it. The States.
