I've just discovered that there is a new exhibit over the winter at the British Museum featuring the Terra Cotta Warriors from China. I didn't realize they were only discovered in 1974 and that there are thousands of them in the tomb for China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi. There are only 10 at the exhibition, not thousands along with some other artifacts from the site. It's going to be on from September until early April so I'm hoping we'll get a chance to go. It's timed entry on the tickets so if we decide to go, i think we should book ahead and get tickets for late afternoon to make sure we have time to get from Eurostar, to hotel, have lunch and get to the museum. We were planning to go to the museum anyway so this is excellent news!

I get notified once a month of events in London, via an email list from Londontown.com and though it's obviously not that useful to me most of the year, it's nice to get for the month when i know i'm going to be there. It covers a range of activities from festivals to exhibitions to music and sport and clubbing. They give you the highlights and you can get more listings as well for each category. You can get more info on the ones you want and generate a pdf file too if you like.

We're going to get a deluge of rain today. I hope the busses are fitted with pontoons!
