ABIT late, but here's our version of London! haha (02-05.03.07)




haha lazy us ( but i'm more dilligent dan tt mR pig) here's our part of London!

After hrs of travel, we finally reached our 1st venture outta germany. We met Adrian at Liverpool Street and followed him to his house, where we stayed for the wkend. Nice Adrian gave up his bed for us and even changed the bedsheets! (haha oks, for once u're ren hao n shuai la) At bout 11+pm we left for SOHO, this street full of clubs and pubs like Mohd Sultan Rd back in Spore. But in the end, we didnt go to any pubs or clubs and instead, went to eat some Chinese dessert at Chinatown. yummilicious =P

On sat, we went to Borough Market after watching the London Games ( its like an Asian gathering man, mR met his JC frens, Chih Yang and Jia Xuan there). Borough Market's like a food paradise man. Everything looks and smells soooo delicious! Our fav's the Belgium choc brownie--I sooo wannna carry all of them back with me! haha
Then we went to Harrods, where all the astonishingly expensive stuff lives. Quite an exciting experience cuz on our way out of Harrods, we actually witness a crime in action! some lousy snatch-a-pair-of-lady's-boots-thief. haha quite ben4 of him, so many ppl there la, confirm get caught, which he did.

Next stop's the v beautiful Hyde Park with the v enchanting lake and seagulls and many hungry-looking ducks. ahaha they just dash to anyone with food to offer man.

We spent the rest of the day roaming around the streets, exploring the shopping district of London, around Piccadilly Circus, before meeting Luanie, Keith and Adrian for some Chinese buffet at Chinatown.


Sunday started off with some v fruitful shopping at Petticoat Lane Market. Its mega huge with endless rows of pasa-malam style stalls selling stuff of all kinds. Then we moved off to the Tower Bridge of London. The scenary across the bridge's really beautiful, but it would have been better if it didnt rain so much!

Oh, and we went into the National Gallery and saw the famous Picasso's Child With A Dove painting and a few of other Vincent Van Gogh's master pieces like The Sunflowers. haha so cultured rite.

Dinner was at this Korean restaurant which serves pretty delicious korean-style steamboat and hotplate rice. After that, we went with Adrian, Gerald and Jin Xiang (haha Gerald's mian2 tian2 nei4 xiang4 hai4 xiu1 fren) to this pub in a hotel for some drinks (guys la, they love drinking man haha)

Finally, our last day in London, we had a vvv yummilicious Full English Bkft at a v comfy cafe at Covent Garden.Then, we rushed off to Buckingham Palace to catch the Change Of Guards. ahaha and the rest of the story's in Luanie's entry! haha that's it for London! Till we visit England again!
