auntie around the world: london

Auntie's first trip to London.





From my experience to London, I informed shuyi that there is nothing to see there. To me London is one hell of a boring place. Gloomy skies, nothing much of interest to see or do. But now, due to unprecedented circumstances, London is a shopping paradise.

The last time I was in London was 2005. Yes. The July 2005 London subway bombing. I went to the subway station just 1/2 hour after the bombing. There was a huge crowd and we were denied entry. We went late because if you go after a certain time, you can have cheaper whole day tickets. Kiasu-ness saves lives.

The exchange rate have made London THE place for branded goods, with the exception of Chanel who deviously increased the pricepoint to match the devalued currency. Karl, you bitch.

some monument. whateva

this dog/bear is huge

The owner wasn't as cute though. She was terribly rude to shuyi. The dog should maul her someday.

see? she is getting ready.

double decker: they bombed one of these as well in 2005, to catch the people fleeing from the bombed metro. such malicious intent...
