London & Paris Trip 2009 [Chapter 1]

I’m glad that I fly with Singapore Airline. No transit needed, no flight delay, delicious meal, entertaining entertainment. After 13 hours of flight, my hair got fizzy, and I reached London on time at 1530.

My aunty should be waiting for me at Harrods for high tea, but no, I saw them at my arriving gate, they have lost their laptop!

Outside Harrods


Our hotel is at Green Park Station, an hour journey of tube (train in London) from Heathrow airport. I met Duncan at that station, and the 1st stop we head to – Harrods.

Inside Harrods




If you know London, you will know Harrods. The most famous shopping mall in London. With lots of cute teddy bears and also Diana and Dodi’s memorial is inside. We really planned for a high tea over here, but 5 hungers here, we decided head to the next stop – China Town for dinner.

China Town in London


MayFlower


Our dinner place is called Mayflower, nothing compare to our local Chinese food. China town isn’t amazing also, but I heard people say here’s happening, even 4 in the morning are full with people, and I wonder…

Our 1st dinner








After dinner, Lai Yee and Aunty June are having jet lacked and wanted to go back for resting, so the rest of us three decided to continue our walk around London. We walk from China Town to the National Gallery to River Thames to London Eye and to Big Ben.

The distance isn’t too far; here are some(a lot of) photos from our ‘walk’. Thanks to Ah Dan for all the lovely photos. “I NEED A NEW CAMERA!”
