no place like LONDON!!
Take a guess where I been last weekend? It was a really short day trip. Came back tired like cow but it was well worth it. Only regret not charging my camera properly. And not learning better photo taking skills.
Had to wake up at 4am, having slept only 3 hours. Took Greyhound and arrived early in drizzly, grey London. Vincent, Elena and I didn't know where we were going, until we actually arrived at Victoria station. So really spontaneous sight-seeing. Got a Tube map & I was so excited cos all the Monopoly places are on it!! Lol.
First stop, Westminster.
Big Ben
Westminster across the Thames
People on strike outside Westminster
I was really amused cos you don't get to see this in Malaysia at all.
Lol, and Vincent was saying how people can have sex in public if they do it in those tents.
This was on the pavement, set in concrete.
Can you see? Its a poem by T. S. Eliot.
They like literature a lot, the English.
Even in the Tube there are poems on the wall of the train.
Guess it keeps people occupied.
After Westminster, went to meet Sze at the shopping district of Oxford Street & Regent Street. (Monopoly places again!)
Then headed to Bayswater and had the famous duck rice for lunch
(which was no big deal actually)
Crushed glass bottles!
Found this and the books (pic below) in Covent Garden Craft Market.
I was trying to explain to Charmaine & Pui Li (who are another 2 M'sians) about this.
Quote Charmaine:"But its glass! Won't it break when you crush it??"
Leather bound books
Why can't Malaysian craftsmen be as creative as this??
The people who made it possible
Love them!
K, gotta go. 7 cases down, 3 more to go.
