sheng out of singapore: London 19th

We had to transit (stupid RyanAir, NEVER ON TIME) in London, so we thought, yah why not travel in London? We put up at Juliana's friend's place, and that saved a heap of pounds. Sure feels good to understand/read the things u see...

Taking the London bus was painful already, when the airport shuttle cost 16 pounds ( 48 sgd) and the normal double decker was 1.5 pounds (4.5 sgd for a SBS bus ride? NO WAY!!!)
We visited Leicester Square (China Town) first, due to Cheewee's craving for Laksa, managed to buy cheap tickets for Les Miserables (i still cant pronounce it!!!) and walked to the Trafalgar Square. My god, so many pigeons again. We saw the Parliament Square, Big Ben, London Eye, St. Pauls, Tate Modern, Millenium Bridge etc.

The next day, its Football! We went to the Chelsea-Portsmouth match, quite funny, the crowd started to sing Jose Mourinho when Ballack scored the second goal. After a while, it was like watching Tv.. just that there was no zoom and no playback. That was 66 pounds lor. At night we visited Soho, saw the London Bridge (its a scam!!! london bridge is not falling down! its made of concrete!!! totally not the one u see with the lion roar on tv). We have all been cheated...

Sunday, went on a shopping spree, bought a 7 pound long coat. Finally something cheap in London. The boys went crazy over the football jerseys, while i stocked up on my winter wear. Had lunch in China Town and joined in the HCJC mini MAF in Imperial College. Damn weird lah. Met up with Zhengda and saw Yongbin too! At night we stayed in and saw the Barca - Real match. Everywhere is football mans.

And on our last day, Yinghao and I went to Oxford Street (TOPSHOP!!! Miss Selfridge!!! Marks & Spencer!! French Connection!!! ) SANNY!! i should have never given u my Topshop discount card!!! I had KFC! Lund has no KFC Lor... damn sad. We also visited Harrods. My god its like a castle! Its so lavishly decorated, with freshly baked Krispy Kreme... its remarkable.
