Dickens' London
I did not get to Dickens on the first try. One time I got sent to jail as I was pickpocketing. Another time I caught cholera as I was trying to retrieve bodies from the river. However, I had redemption. It felt so good to pickpocket five people without getting caught and retrieve five bodies without being infected. Also, I was so glad that the ticket collecter was merciful. Through all of the frustration and encounters with sketchy people, I realized that Dickens grew up in a pretty tough environment. It's really sad that children either died very early in life or were overworked to death. It was interesting to find out random facts about Dickens such as his success with the "Pickwick Papers" and his lack of success with A Christmas Carol. Overall, it was a fun and informative experience.
