My trip to Madame Tussauds in London on 8th April 2009

I went to see Madame Tussauda for a new attractions. Of course I met President Obama in Oval Office, and then discussed new film with Steven Spielberg. Discussed old memories about "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts. When I entered the horror room I thought this was it and I could not see again TravBuddy site. At last came out in one piece. Overall experience is very enjoyable
and exciting.

You know I thought of visiting Madame Tussauds in Hongkong (they have one at The Peak gallery) but didn't have the chance to come back. I think this is cool :)
