Tower Bridge Waking up at the End of Earth Hour 2015

Some of Britain's most iconic landmarks plunged into darkness for an hour on the 28th of March.

Here is a short video of Tower Bridge at the end of Earth Hour 2015.

Unique Experience of Virtual Reality with Oculus Rift

If you pass Tower Bridge these days, a colorful pop-up exhibition about Mexico in Potters Fields will catch your eye. We planned just to stop by for a quick look, but ended up spending many more mins there. 

Interactive installations introducing basic facts, culture, history and various industries of Mexico were really engaging and entertaining.

But visitors were especially intrigued by the opportunity to experience Mexico with Oculus Rift in virtual reality. In one installation you just put on Oculus Rift to glide in cities of Mexico, while in another you have an opportunity to admire the nature while rafting or flying in a hot air balloon (in a virtual reality, of course).

It's incredible, but you really feel the dizziness or the fear of hitting a wall!
























An installation with traditional and modern Mexican clothes, visitors can put on virtually, was also really fun. 

According to http://pottersfields.co.uk, the exhibition is open until the 10th of March. And it is free of charge.





























Happy Spring, Everyone!

P.S. A question for curious ones: how many minutes can you talk to Mexico if you have £1? 

Answer: Nearly an hour (55 minutes) if you call to landline numbers with MOREmins!
