Today I'm trying the most British things for 24 hours.

Here's a checklist of the things that I'm gonna be doing today.

Let's go!

For this challenge, I'm starting at Soho Square.

First, we're gonna be going to breakfast.

I finally made it inside Bragg's.

I'm gonna get the sausage roll one.

I heard that one is the most iconic and most popular pastry.

And I think this place is kind of like a fast food bakery.

This store is actually quite big.

It's the largest store that I've seen.

Oh, they have so many pastries.

There's some hot ones and cold ones.

Oh, that is the sausage.

Can I get one sausage roll, please?

That's everything?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Look at the sausage roll.

It's actually very, very hot and warm.

It says it's freshly baked.

The sausage tastes like a regular English breakfast sausage.

The pastry part, it's quite soft and a little buttery.

I like it.

There's actually a scuffers here.

I've been seeing their ads on social media for some time now.

The clothes look pretty good but when I went to the store just it didn't really seem my style.

It was a little too baggy.

Isn't this so cute?

They have Wimbledon inspired pastries, Wimbledon swirl, matcha point tart.

That is cool.

Now this place reminds me of Bridgerton so let's play some some Bridgerton music.

I'm walking through Green Park to get to Buckingham Palace and there are so many flowers here.

There's like a flower section.

The park itself is really big.

I like how you're able to cut through to go to Buckingham.

So I decided to cut through the fence to find a place to rest a bit.

But someone else had the same plan.

That's funny.

Well, they do say sharing is caring, I guess.

I finally made it to the Buckingham Palace.

Look at this.

There's actually so many people here taking photos, and it's actually very, very hot.

It's 30 degrees.

A lot of tourists here as well.

I see the guards standing there.

It's crazy how they're able to stand there and not move for many hours.

I don't think I could do such a job.

But supposedly it is a great honor.

Next place we're going to go to is the K2 telephone

box where people line up just to take photos at the red telephone booth.

And it's also on the way to Big Ben.

So we're killing two items in our checklist.

I'm going to be walking to the next place because taking the tube or the bus is going to take longer.

I finally made it to the booth.

Okay.

Thank you.

I took some photos already.

And I think it's quite nice.

There's actually a whole line of people waiting to get their photos taken at this booth

And I think the reason why is

because you have the Big Ben right behind you There's actually

another telephone booth right in front of me I didn't realize

that and this one has even more people

so maybe I should line up for this one This line is way too long for this booth.

So I think I'm gonna pass because I already got my photo I made it to Big Ben!

So yeah, thank you for holding the cam.

I finally made it to Big Ben, one of the most iconic cultural landmarks.

And you can see the beautiful clock tower and its gothic architecture, just really sunny.

I met my first fan, but seriously, it is so hot outside.

So I thought to come in and fan myself a little bit. So I'm...

Oh. So I'm...

Oh.

I actually recorded myself tripping, which is really, really embarrassing.

And I didn't screen my ankle, thank God.

Okay, let's try that again.

I just found a fish and chips restaurant.

This one's Hobson's Fish and Chips.

And it's only 7 minutes away by 2, so that's where I'm gonna be heading.

Luckily, there's Pret here, and I think Pret is definitely a place to visit.

I'm gonna just buy some still water, 2.8 pounds.

I'd rather buy a big one than buy a small one for almost 2 pounds.

I don't think you guys know how embarrassing that was.

And then there was people saying, Well, at least I have my water here.

We need to go to the Circle Line by Victoria.

Oh, the train's in one minute.

We gotta run.

I think we need to head towards eastbound.

Eastbound platform 2.

It's always so confusing with the tube here because there's just so many lines.

And for each platform sometimes there's two different trains that go to different routes.

Oh, I think the train's here.

We gotta run.

That's our stop and it's funny because we only rode one line and now we're getting off.

At this point I probably should have just walked

but I didn't know when would be the next time I take the two.

Wow this area is super nice.

We are at Embankment Place.

It says here we just need to keep walking straight to get to the restaurant.

100

Oh my friend who lives here said this cinnamon bun is really really good.

101

It's called buns from home and they have a lot of interesting flavors.

102

I really like this area.

103

The roads are super wide and there's just a lot of people.

104

I think we're actually close to Chinatown.

105

I see some Korean corn dogs right here.

106

And then oh donuts.

107

Oh I'm here.

108

Hobson's fish and chips.

109

This one was in my list.

110

Let's go inside and check it out.

111

It also says it's battered, gluten-free, vegan, and grilled.

112

A lot of fish and chips options.

113

You can actually choose what type of fish you want.

114

It's actually quite pricey.

115

Cod alone is $18.95 and then with chips it's 22.45 pounds.

116

So I didn't realize how big the fish is.

117

I think I just got a whole fish.

118

It's a codfish.

119

I usually don't like eating fried food But I'm doing it just to try fish and chips,

120

but without the chips, of course Oh, that was so so hot.

121

I think I burned my tongue.

122

The cod on the inside is super soft and buttery But the outside is crunchy.

123

It doesn't taste too oily.

124

It's a good quality fish.

125

They actually fried their fish using pure vegetable

126

I didn't know there was a coverage charge but in total 20.85 pounds just for fish not fish and chips.

127

I gotta say London is expensive.

128

The cost of living here is quite high and I definitely feel it.

129

We're gonna go to our next location.

130

Let's hit up the British History Museum.

131

The thing I like about London is that all the museums, well the big ones, are free.

132

I said it really ain't no pressure, it's where Davy at.

133

I know I already ate, but I just love M&S and how they have a lot of prepared foods.

134

Three pounds for these.

135

I made a mistake.

136

I didn't check what time the British Museum closes, and it closes at 5.

137

Guess what time it is?

138

4.50.

139

So I don't know if I can make it in, but I'm just going to go and check it out.

140

So I didn't make it.

141

They said it closes at 4.35.

142

And look how many people are coming out.

143

that's fine we'll come back tomorrow

144

that's only five but I'm already feeling pretty tired

145

but let's continue with our challenge the next stop is gonna be the London Eye I see

146

that the London Eye closes at 6 p.m these type of

147

houses really remind me of Bridgerton I think it looks super similar to their house in this city

148

So I just missed my bus.

149

It just ran past me, but it's okay.

150

We're just gonna have to wait a couple minutes, hopefully.

151

But that was bus 68.

152

Goodbye.

153

I'm gonna have to wait 10 more minutes to catch the next one.

154

One thing I noticed is that there's no AC in this bus.

155

It gets really, really hot, especially on the top level.

156

However, I would say it's a pretty nice experience being so high up.

157

We're going to be on this bus for 30 minutes to the London Eye.

158

It is actually really, really hot.

159

Holy moly.

160

Honestly, it's so cool to see the city in this way

161

because you're so high up on the bus that You just have a really good view of the street.

162

I do actually feel some AC towards the back But it's still very very hot.

163

Oh, it's super bumpy I'm currently at this underground tunnel that goes all the way to the London Eye from the bridge.

164

I made it to the London Eye, but look at the line behind me.

165

It is so, so long, probably over an hour, and I just don't want to wait.

166

It seems a little bit underwhelming up close.

167

I can tell that it's quite...

168

I think something hit me.

169

Okay, hopefully that was water, or hopefully that is not bird s*.

170

Okay, it's not.

171

It's just water.

172

The line is way too long, so I'm not gonna go line up for it, especially since it's probably a little overpriced.

173

I'm at the London Eye Shop and I totally forgot that Mr. Bean is British.

174

I used to grow up watching his shows in Taiwan.

175

It's just a funny little dude.

176

I still remember this episode where Mr. Bean got injured like he had a toothache

177

and he was putting ice on his jaw.

178

There's so many little Mr. Bean items here.

179

I love it.

180

I still think that's one of the best shows of my childhood figure.

181

Seven pounds.

182

This is quite cute but it is quite expensive.

183

32 pounds.

184

That's quite a bit and I don't really have anyone to give it to.

185

Gosh there's also Shrek.

186

That sounds so exciting and this London Aquarium is here as well.

187

Back on the bus going to Carnaby Street.

188

I'm currently at Oxford Circus and walking towards Carnaby to do a little bit shopping

189

and then we're going to get some British pie.

190

This area is so nice and I see a Skims here.

191

I think it hasn't opened yet and since there's World Cup look at this giant poster behind me.

192

Oh I've been wanting to go to Gymshark because that is a British brand.

193

This is Gymshark.

194

Unfortunately, it's closed.

195

I really wanted to go in and check it out.

196

It's already 8 40 and the sun is still out.

197

I'm currently at Carnaby Street and last time I came here in the weekend, there were just so many people.

198

I like how there's a lot of boutique shops, clothing shops, coffee shops, but it's 8 40 p.m.

199

So all the shops kind of closed down.

200

Last time I came here at the weekend, there were so many people here, But today, less people.

201

We're heading towards Mother Mash Carnaby, which so happens to be at Carnaby Street.

202

I'm finally at the Mother Mash Carnaby restaurant.

203

They serve the traditional British pies, like the steak pie.

204

Let's go in and check it out.

205

It's 15.50 pounds for a pie.

206

And you can choose your own mash, your main, your pie, or sausage.

207

And then you choose your own gravy.

208

I just got my pie and look at it.

209

It's actually quite large for one person.

210

I got the steak and black heart stout pie.

211

The server actually recommended I pair onion gravy with the steak.

212

This is actually my first time having a British pie.

213

I'm so excited to try it out.

214

It actually looks very good. So good, so good.

215

The pie itself is super soft too.

216

You have that crispy outer layer, but the inside, it feels like a dough.

217

Almost like a nice buttery croissant.

218

Guys that steak pie was so good.

219

I feel so cool.

220

I didn't finish all that mashups.

221

It would have been too much for me I've officially finished the challenge although there was one item

222

that I didn't manage to complete

223

which was the free museum I think today was a win especially since the steak pie was actually very good.

224

I'm gonna go home and get some good rest .

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
