Easter Trip Big Breakdown - London III / Wednesday, April 25, 2007
Ok, so why is London a must go if you visit Europe? Hmm.. Let me give you 3 big reasons for me:
1. Experience the agony of spending in pounds!!
Ok, so how much is the duck rice above.... No joke, this is one of the most famous duck rice in London, Bayswater. And its good!! Yea thick chunks of meat with little fats.. Its really a huge portion.. BUT... Cost: 5 Pounds!! 15sgd!!! Crazy right... I can have a whole duck back in Singapore... Some Londoners who sat beside us actually ordered Singapore style fried noodles... Eh, wats tt? Singapore got a style of frying noodles?? And the ones seating opposite us best.... 2 persons ordered 2 plates of duck.. One peking one roasted.. And i mean its almost half a duck on each plate on the table.. Woah... 20 pounds each plate... -____- I wonder how many ducks you can eat in Singapore with those money....
2. Experience the classiest shopping centre in the world!
Yea.. Its Harrods... So classy it trashes Takashimaya, Paragon or Tanglin... The food section is totally mindblowing.. Never see anything like this before in my entire life...
Hungry?? There are almost 10 different sections selling everything from fruits to world cusines... The way they are presented already makes me hungry, imagine how torturing it is to walk through the different sections!!
Even the fruits look so tempting!! Dun underestimate the pineapples lined up there.. It will cost you somewhere from 10-20 pounds each!! The lychee is nice too, around 2 pounds each!! The pastries look so nice too!! If only I was carrying a bag of cash with me....
3. The overly priced attractions and musicals!!
So where can you find the Pope and Brad Pitt and Angelica Jolie all in one place? Eh, not in a church.. Madame Tussads Wax Museum!! This attraction costs a hefty 16 pounds!! But its worth it I guess.. Totally different from normal wax museums.. It is theme based and you can actually touch all of them, no guarantees it wont break though... Its a great wax museum I would say, complete with rides and scare shows!! Lol.. cool ain't it.. But always buy tickets elsewhere.. Queuing there is a tedious process that takes up to an hour if you are lucky..
The London eye is one of the most popular attractions available in London... I must admit, the view is really superb.. BUT... paying 13 pounds for a ferris wheel is really alot.. Ya, its a big wheel so I guess its the biggest and most expensive ferris wheel Ive been to.. Eh, actually its the only ferris wheel Ive been to.. lol...
I guessed Ive been talking bout musicals for 2 posts liao so I guess you all know bout them liao.. haha
