Absolutely, delicious Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.

A restaurant with beautiful Mediterranean design.

Red Palm.
After 3 hours sitting at the open top bus under the harsh wind.

London Cab.

Along Oxford Street.
It gets busier at night. Thanks to the sale.

The Royal Courts of Justice.

A..building.

A very odd colour.

My LifeJournal: Oyster Card

27th Dec, In England London.
Full on London's Amazing Attractions.


T R A F A L G A R S Q U A R E.


Part of Trafalgar Square.

That tall looking thing is Nelson's Column, yeap, the guy at the top is Nelson.

And he's being guarded by 4 lions.

The Fountain shooting out a deluge of water.

Ouh, there wasn't a single bird at the all famous bird magnet Trafalgar Square.
And i was hoping to catch them.


L O N D O N ' S E Y E


Almost a bird's eye view of really old London.

Really huge wheel that excites me.

And the individual capsules.

Delicious hot waffle topped with Strawberry Syrup to keep me warm.
I know, makes you wanna lick the screen.


R I V E R T H A M E S

Over the setting sun at 4pm.


L O N D O N B R I D G E


There's really a lot of bridges that cut across River Thames.
But i know, everyone only cares about London Bridge which have yet to fall down.

One of London's Bridges - London Bridge.

Ugly ain't it? No wonder they made a song out of it.


T O W E R B R I D G E

Another bridge called the Tower Bridge.
A powerful looking thing. The suspended bridge could elevate
to allow huge vessels to pass through.



T O W E R O F L O N D O N

Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress

Palaces are a testosterone puller.
Medieval, war times.

The all too familiar Foot Guards who weren't wearing red.
Grey-ish, dark blu-ish...trying to match the season i suppose.
Dark and gloomy.



H O U S E S O F P A R L I A M E NT

Big Ben the huge Bell, not the clock.
Just to clear the confusion. Big Ben is only the bell.
The whole thing is actually the Houses of Parliament.

Yeap, it's almost 4.20pm.
And the sun only shines at 9am.

H A R R O D S

Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed Memorial in Harrods.


Do you know what's an Oyster Card?
It's the same as Ez Link card.

Why the heck they call it Oyster?
"Have you brought along your Osyter?"

Cute but still really weird.

On the first day we were in London.

My LifeJournal: Hole in the Wall

It's the last day in London, 29th Dec

Kensington Palace.

The garden in the Palace.

The Round Pond in Kensington Garden.

Shameless creatures, coming right in front of Hady.

Cleaning up after it's mess.


Do you know Hole-In-The-Wall is actually their ATM machines under Barclay's Bank.
Fascinating indeed.
