13.00-21.30 Spend time with Alexandra, speaking in English:
14.30-15.20 have visited British museum and taken «free tour» (ancient Egypt) - look in topics with "museum words".
I have a couple ideas about demography situation in France (look in Friday self-study copy and here) after conversation with Alexandra: she is an architecture and me - sociologist.
17.00-20.00 beeng in kitchen: just practising every day vocabulary.

Museum words.

British museum of course don't left me could as I visit it all time I can. There is different reasons of it: first of all is been the most biggest museum wich I have seen (more then 7 millions objects in relay cyclopean sizes of holding alleys and rooms). The second reason is variations of collections. I mean, how many different exhibit from divers places it includes.

I was in shock to see 10 rooms of Parthenon and 20 glory holes of gold Egypt time, 10 rooms dedicated to Assyrian... The problematic issue is: how and why there are so many museum pieces from not British territory. As sociology way of thinking it is the recurrence of spray development imperialistic mentation. It is observed in societies had big and powerful imperials in the past.

However, concerning content of museum, we took an populated tour through to Egypt. There is the world largest collection of Egyptian Antiques, except museum in Cairo. Guide underlined in the telling story the facts about technique mummification: it is the chemical process of maintenance body. The organs were eventually removed out and the embalmers would then fill the skull with thick plant-based resin or plant resin sawdust.
