Arriving in London on our 5yrs wedding Anniversary - 12 June

We arrived in London 5 days ago and I thought I would have alot of time to myself when the World Cup starts to blog but apparently NOT. London isn't quite what I remembered to be...after all, it has been more than 10 years since I last came.

For a start, people we met at the airport had been super friendly and patient. We understood everything cos it was all in ENGLISH! The transport system is super tourist friendly, clear signages and every bus stop has map indicating where we are etc...think we can probably walk about without a map in London!

Arriving from Athens, London appears to be alot cleaner, organised, less rowdy, pleasant and exciting. And luckily for us, the weather has been great! Not too cold or warm.

There was a fair  on Sunday and we were happy to be there...home-cooked dinner followed by world cup match for Jeff...

Mon was spent hotel shopping for my sis and bro-in-law who will be arriving tomorrow morning!

Tue, we caught a play, MouseTrap and spent more time exploring the city centre...

Wed, we watched Sex and the City 2! Dun trust the poor reviews! If u like Sex and the City, it's just as girly good! haha..even Jeff enjoyed it!

Today, we were supposed to head out to Greenwich but the S.Korea vs Argentina was too good to be missed by Jeff that we headed back to Liying's plc to catch it. That's why I'm sitting here...writing this blog...hehe..

Ok, some photos to share on London...and if internet is stable, more posts of India we wrote on our plane ride here..

Glimpse of London from the plane

Once in a year Marylebone Fair!

Exciting Spanish food...too full to try after dim sum in the morning..

But had some space for Churros and summer drink

Oysters too good to miss...

(according to those who tried..)

Our hosts in London!

There were dance floors at the fair! Cool!

The day ended with Bak Kut Teh and oyster spinach cooked by Liying!








 

Yummy Sichuan food

Reminded us of the delicious Sichuan food we had with Wouter N Zanne in Dongguan. Hey, u two can try when in London!

Looks spicy and oily? but GOOD!

Plans after dinner?

Catch the Hogwarts express at Kings Cross station!

Only Jeff made it into the platform...

The 1st play we watched....Do u wanna know who's the killer? hehe











 

In the theatre, it was so steep that Jeff felt nausea...haha






 

Busy day at Trafalgar Square..

I'm attracted to the big shoe..and can't decide which musical to watch!!

Managed to watch Sex and the City 2!! Yeah!

Who says it's not good?

We had the whole cinema to ourselves with other 7 people! haha..morning show..








 

We met a guy at the Athens airport who said that we have to visit the British Museum to see the other half of Acropolis...

Check what it says about their possession of Parthenon in Acropolis..

And they probably have half the world's treasures!!!








 

All very well preserved...and we also suspect that they have more Mummy than Egypt!
