This famous waxwork museum was the first “Madame Tussauds” location in the world. 
Marie Tussaud, born in 1761, made wax masks before public executions in France. Just after the French Revolution she brought her collection of masks to England in an exhibition. The attraction moved to its current home in 1884. 

Today, Madame Tussauds is where you can find true-to-life wax representations of famous figures throughout history – real and imaginary. 

Inside, there is everyone from David Beckham to Lady Gaga, and The Queen to Albert Einstein. 

Recent additions include a Bollywood section and even another with YouTube stars. 
A Sherlock Holmes area and Star Wars locations are also available as of late 2016 – these areas are changed up every few years to keep the attraction’s offerings fresh.

The attraction also includes a scare zone called the Chamber of Horrors, which can be skipped if you wish. A classic slow-moving ride through the sights of London is a fun end to your journey.

A post reminiscing about the Walt Disney World International College Program

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer. I was prepared for more heat, for more guests and (hopefully!) less of a language barrier in the US. This all proved true - sure Florida was hotter than Paris, yes the Magic Kingdom is the world’s busiest theme park and yes (for the most part) I didn’t have to tra

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
