M n How about going to McDonalds, Bur¬ ger King, or maybe Kentucky Fried Chicken? Twenty-two students and faculty did¬ in London! London is getting very Amer¬ icanized. Some American programs are broadcast in London. Star Wars and Close Encounters are two very popu¬ lar movies there, too. Recently X rated (by British standards) Saturday Night Fever made its debut. We were fortu¬ nate enough to be at its opening and saw John Travolta, Keith Moon, and Barry Gibb. Although the movie just pre¬ miered, its music had been playing for quite awhile in many London discos. Transportation in London was never a problem. Need a taxi? Just walk outside and call. They ' re usually easy enough to find. Or take a little walk to the nearest underground station and ride the tubes. On a nice day, a short walk and about 25 pence ($.50 in American money) will give you a ride on a double decker bus. A typical day for us tourists con¬ sisted of sightseeing and shopping. Our nights were festive and included seeing three plays, Kings and Clowns, I Love My Wife, and Murder at the Vico- rage, or seeing a movie, or checking out the discos. London people seem to take pride in their city. We very rarely found litter in the streets and gutters. They also have beautiful parks where dignified bobby ' s patrol. London is a beautiful place to visit or live. London 11
