Amazing Race - London (Buckingham Palace)

Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. Now please don't confuse with Beckingham Palace. That's Beckham house.

Now you see. People is just changing working shift. That's as simple as that. The "jaga" too tired after one whole night keeping an eye open of any intruders which I doubt will be any. No coffee break. Maybe got one or two toilet break but better pray that it's not long business. But a simple task like that can be made into an extravaganza show that everyone from around the whole can pack into full house around the palace just to witness it.

The regiment come in one bunch. Playing some loud music. If I'm the Queen, I'll open the windows and shout, "Shut Up!". Then they march here march there. Stamp here stamp there. Drop one or two poor new "jaga" for duty. Pick up the other tired and "come and save me" "jaga" off for brunch.

Then, they march here march there. Stamp here stamp there. Playing some more loud music before they off. This goes on everyday in the summer. There won't be change of guards (extragavant) during the winter.

So there you go poor little fella. You have to stand there for 24 hours before your troop going to rescue you.

"Jaga" job can be so unfair. You have to remain alert for 24 hours , while other "jaga" job can be so relaxing sometimes.
