I want to finish my travel log today. I was in London for 3 days, but I didn't do much. So, I'll cram everything in one post.
Then, I'll have to complete all the outstanding tags. Sorry erin and shy and other people who tagged me for the delay.
Because of the very long delay in reporting my travels, I've actually forgotten what day I did the activities.
So, what I did may not be in order. Haha!
So, here goes :
I arrived at London in the afternoon, around 1 I think. My cousin came and picked me up.
We went to Tesco first for a 'lil bit of shopping because he organised a party at his house later that night. Lots of booze; bottles of wine and crates of beer.
We had lunch at home, his friend actually prepared roast beef to welcome me.
Unfortunately because it was non-halal, I had to skip the meat.
I bought 'instant' fish 'n chips earlier at Tesco, so I had it for lunch instead.
His house have 5 floors, and my room is at the 5th floor; the attic.
His housemate used it as his music instrument store. He's (the housemate, not my cousin) a music composer. Very interesting.
The view from my 'penthouse'.

The view from my 'penthouse'.I didn't go anywhere that day. I rested and stayed in my room the whole day. I also overslept and missed the party. Not that I was eager to join, but out of respect for my host and my cousin, I just had to join. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunate), I slept like a log.
The next day was kinda interesting.
My cousin got me the 'Oyster Card'; kinda like the "touch 'n go" we have here in Malaysia. It is a prepaid card that acts as a ticket for any public transport (except taxi) in London.
Very useful and saves a lot of money. Cheaper than buying normal ticket.
I used their Underground, a subway train system that is very useful if you want to go anywhere in London.
I visited Stamford Bridge first. Not as big as I thought. Hehe
I can see the field. So near, yet so far...I am not a fan of Chelsea, mind you. I just went there to see how the stadium looks like. It is okay. Not bad.
THE HIGHLIGHT of the day has got to be my visit to Emirates Stadium where my team, Arsenal plays. I didn't go to the stadium first because Stamford Bridge is nearer.
Anyways, compared to Stamford Bridge, Emirates Stadium is huge! Much bigger than Chelski's stadium!
The fans making their appreciation seen. 'Viva Fabregas!' Done when the stadium was in construction, perhaps.
More pictures at the Emirates Stadium.
I went inside their shop, called 'The Armoury' and bought a jersey for myself. Made in Indonesia but what do I care? I bought it at the stadium! That's what matters! Haha
My only biggest regret is not taking the stadium tour. What a blow.
A tour was about to start when I came. But I could not find the booth to get a ticket for it. Once I've found it, the tour have already started. The next one would be at 3 o'clock, but it would be very late for me. It gets dark really quick in winter. I hate winter.
Then, I went to Earls Court. My aunt used to live there so we went there quite a lot.
A stroll down memory lane, kinda.
Lots of Halal restaurant there. I bought a kebab for lunch and then went to Tesco to buy food for my journey the next day.
Okay, I lied. This is not all that I did in those 3 days, there are actually more.
But because the internet is not that good right now, posting this is safer. I don't want to write all these stuff again.
I'll make another post on my journey after this.
