While I was in London (1)  [input answers="While in London"/]  I just had to go to the British Museum. There's so much to see and I only had time to spend a few hours there. First, I went to the collection of clocks and watches. When I saw the pocket watches (2),  [input answers="Seeing the pocket watches"/]  I was reminded of the old watch my grandfather used to wear. I don't think I ever saw him without it. Then I went to the Money Gallery. They've got an incredible collection of coins, and some of them are (3)  [input answers="some of them being"/]  over 2000 years old. Next stop was the Chinese collection. Because I'd lived in Hong Kong (4)  [input answers="Having lived in Hong Kong"/]  for so many years, I was very interested in this. Some of the jade objects were stunning. After I looked at (5)  [input answers="After having looked at"/]  the Chinese collection, I had hoped to see the Mexican  exposition. Unfortunately,  when I got there I found (6)  [input answers="I got there to find"/]  that it was closed. Because I'd spent (7)  [input answers="Having spent"/]  the whole morning around the museum, I decided that I wanted to do something very different in the afternoon. So I went to the London Eye in order that I could get (8)  [input answers="in order to get"/]  a bird's-eye view of the city. Whe they are looked at (9)  [input answers="When looked at"/]  from the top of the Eye, some of the biggest buildings appear quite small - even St. Paul's Cathedral, across the river. After that, because I was tired (10)  [input answers="tired"/]  from all the walking, I went back to my hotel room and slept for a couple of hours  before I went out (11)  [input answers="before going out"/]  to have dinner.
