LONDON - LAST FULL DAY

Really busy day today.

While working on my projects, I noticed that there are cameras at almost every street corner in London labeled with a CCTV sign.

I asked someone on the street about them. He said that CCTV stands for 'Closed-Circuit Television. They monitor and survey public safety. If there was an attack on UK soil, the government would be able to respond effectively and quickly. He told me that a system of cameras would be able to find a missing child or to deter crime.

It's almost right out of a movie.

I feel little uneasy to have 'Big Brother' constantly watching the public because it echoes the Homeland Security issues from back home. However, I can understand how these cameras could serve a good use.

I'll do more research later out of curiosity when I get the time. Right now, I am very tired and would like to finish up on my story and finish going through my photos.

Wake up time is 7:45 a.m. then leaving on a jet plane to Paris.
