London Bridge is falling down...

Tokio Hotel is GAY

Haha! Just had to let it out. Can't stand 'em.

Anyways, one reason why it is sooooo hard to finish my journey log (or blog, whatever!) is the unbelievably slooooooooooow time to upload the photos! So, I'll just post a few photos and you guys can view the rest on my Friendster page (I hope there are still people who uses FS). I think I'm gonna open up a Facebook account. Friendster brings me never-ending sadness.










I went to Hyde Park. It was easy to get there. The tube stops directly underneath the park. My family used to go here a lot when I was a child. As you can see from the middle picture, the squirrels are quite tame. They're not afraid to approach people, provided you brought them something to eat. They're supposed to be in hibernation right now since it's winter. Hyde Park is huge. There's a funfair at that time. Very happening.










Yeap, The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk. There are a few of 'em on the ground.



















Memorial site of the past wars. World War 1 and 2. To remember those who have lost their lives valiantly to protect freedom (or whatever interest they have).

Westminster. What is so interesting about Westminster?

The BIG BEN!


































I think it is the most 'photographed' place of all time in England; the icon. When you see a picture of Big Ben, instantly you think of London. The Clock Tower, as un-famously knowned, is connected to the Palace of Westminster, or the parliament house where the Parliament of United Kingdom meet.

This is also where I met a lot of Malaysians (or Singaporeans). How do I know they're Malaysians? Their distinct way of wearing the tudung. You know what I'm talking about. Indonesians wear them differently to us Malaysians and Singaporeans. Haha!

I didn't take the Eye on London ride as it was full. You have to book online first.

I went to Tower Hill next. This is where the Tower of London and Tower Bridge is located.




















London Bridge is falling down, falling down...

Nope, this is not the London Bridge we kept singing when we were in kindergarten. The London Bridge is the next bridge upstream. I know most people assume this is the London Bridge. Even I was fooled. Only when I referred to Wikipedia I realized the mistake (I always refer to wiki when I write my journey log to avoid mistake).

This, ladies and gentleman, is London Bridge.

Not so glamorous looking, is it? Haha. Somehow I can see the disappointment on your faces.

Found a nice spot. This pic was taken for me by a Malaysian family (I think)

Next, I went to the Tower of London. I didn't go in because it was already late. So I just took a look around. The Tower of London (or The Tower) is full of history and mystery. Imprisonment, beheadings, murder, Nazis, ghosts. You can read all about it in Wikipedia.

Me and my cousin, Adrian.

So, that's it for my London and UK tour. I went home the next evening, so the whole day spent shopping with my cousin.
I hope I can come again (Aizat, Yazrina and gang want to do their ACCA in Dublin! So, might get another chance for another cheap escapade...)
I would like to give my greatest gratitude and thanks to those who have welcomed me and made me feel at home, especially to Muaz and his housemates, Hijaz and his friends and my cousin Adrian.
Thank you! May we meet again...
