Summer/Autumn in London

I'm in London now and loving it!

Day 1: Went to many places that I haven't been to before, like UCL (where my wonderful host Grace is studying), Covent Garden (where Horner from The Country Wife stayed), Carnaby Street etc. Got a little bit lost walking back to her apartment with her housemate Danny but I didn't mind, as I got to see even more of London and chat with him about his Christian faith. Our legs were achingly tired though, after walking for 6 hours non-stop. I really like Grace and Danny!

Day 2:Covent Garden again for shopping and lunch. I bought a buttterfly jewellery stand and toiletries! I like this pair of Fossil shades, shall keep in mind. I just loooove shopping here, things r so unique. We went to Belgo for lunch, which has a very industrial design; it looks like a factory, albeit a really cool one. Next stop was The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square where my personal tour guide pointed out all the interesting and famous paintings. Walked some more to Leicester Square to check out tickets for Les Miserables and da pao duck meat and sio ba for my housemates. I really enjoyed myself today.. :)

Will be going to the Embankment, Waterloo Bridge and Hyde Park tmr.. Excited as I haven't been there before too!
