magical wkend in london

london london..how gd it is to spk english to everybody again! can you sense my excitement haha. and not only that, i gotta meet rachel!!! (hugz..i'll see you in s'pore at sok's room again ok..we'll get wasted again :D) wheee..and of course, ida too. boy have i heard so much about her and in person, she's just as cool.

playing UK monopoly certainly gets you acquainted with the places in london. and yes, i built a hotel on that piece of land, you passed it, either pay me or go straight to jail. so wonderful to be able to know so much about a place and finally getta see it in person. i walked thru harrod's and tried krispy kreme donuts! i sat on the london eye! i walked along the river thames! i watched a musical with an original london cast! NOT..but i'll be back for you Chicago! but the coolest thing has gotta be the night life in london. man, it's way more hip than paris. the buses run 24hrs and the girls dress in full power even during winter..they make the winter hot.

so it started out on friday morning at 0530h. ran from utc to the gare because of someone :P missed the train by a few seconds. took the next train, reached paris and ran to the eurostar departure gate. made it......phew. anyway it's true, he's casanova and he wrote love letters all the way on the eurostar.

then when we got to london, our dearest realised he forgot to write down the address of our hostel, so we spent only about 6 hrs finding for a place to stay grinz. it was fun, walking up and down the streets of london. and the british are so friendly! so much better than the french. then met rach for dinner and that was day 1. well it was enough adventure for one day.

yupp these were the macau and hk pple that ida was travelling with, so we went touring with them. language overload man; first french, then now english and sometimes mandarin and now cantonese!! woh. so me and thiago felt so left out. sigh at least i had a partner! heh. aniwae i promise you guys more photos, of rachel, of trafalgar square, of greenwich observatory, of westminster abbey etc.
