Being in my predicament, I had to go find a phone to ring my friend. And let me tell you how the payphones in London totally suck. In the progressof getting hold of Desmond, I was cut off several times and the payphone wouldn’t give me back my change. All in all the payphone had [...]

Yesterday, I was suppose to meet up with my friend Desmond for dinner. As I was lugging my ass over to the Bond Street tube station, they decided to close it. Being a foreigner, I didn’t know if it was just that station or the whole transit station. So I was real panic. I had [...]

I’m back. Went to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. Was so temped to purchase the Painted Ladies catalog, but the £30 price tag wasn’t sitting very well with me. So I took a pass at it. Saw this really cool oil painting by some Flemish artist, it was a painting with in [...]

It seems that everytime I’ve trip to lug my ass over to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard ceremony, it’s cancelled. On top of that, it’s always pouring. Bah! Well I saw something but it wasn’t changing of the guard. Well I’m just here to do a quick email check. And I’m [...]

So I took a river trip to Greenwich. Was busy snapping tons of pictures. I’m so happy that I’m filmless. But I was camera trigger happy though. Anyway, ,let me just get to the point. I was putting my Russ Wabbit on top of this thing to snap a picture of it in front of [...]

So yesterday, during dinner my friends and I were talking about accents. Actually, a few of them expressed interest in having an american accent.

So yesterday, I hung out with PW and her UK friends. It was the first time that I’ve been around a bunch of Asians during my trip. Well, guess what Asians in the UK are just the same as they are in the States. They’re still indecisive about what they want to do. hehehe =) [...]

So what are my impressions of London so far. It’s an okay town. Things close way too early. Clothing looks cool. But I wonder how people who are a little chubby fine clothes. There are a lot of small sizes. By the way, I can’t find a pair of shoes at all. The smallest size [...]

To continue in my great tradition of mishaps. I’ve already lost my credit card. It’s been cancelled and replaced. Lucky me! No one has tried to use it yet. On top of that, my contacts are ripped. Yup! This sucks. I got back to my friend’s place after our pub hopping trip around Camden Town. [...]

I had no idea they have a Temptation Island and Big Brother show here. Though I think Big Brother wouldn’t really bother the people of London. You are literally watching all over the place. I don’t think you can turn around without seeing some survelliance camera. Bah! This is most definitely the police country of [...]
