Been so preoccupied with house moving lately that I haven't even have time to organize & share my short trip in London. Perhaps I should write something before the good memories fade...the pictures are not really good, taken from my phone. Camera 'died' (battery!!!), so...:(
My first stop in London (after searching hours for accommodation) is Oxford street - shopping! Sales is on everywhere but unfortunately, they're not necessaryily cheap. £395 with 70% discount still cost a lot for a pair of reasonably nice high heel to me. Instead I got myself a pair of cheap flat shoe at only £8, wahaha...

I was walking in London until I can't feel my feet & my toe was bleeding due to excessive walks (friction between 'heeled' shoe & toes). It was only 'discovered' by my friend during a shoe try. Took a picture of it but my foot is just too embarassing to show publicly :$ Anyway, aching feet provides good justification for frequent coffee breaks & I found Nero coffee worth visiting (and revisiting, lol). I like the white chocolate coffee personally.
Big Ben ('Ben')+ WestMinsters + London Eyes + River Thame...I, erm...I 'photographed' with them, can't blame me for not visiting all these attractions. I'm under time contraint pressure, only have 2days in London... and being a very shallow girl, my priority is of course set to shopping & theatre, visiting these attractions simply will consume too much time. Oh...and the weather was really really hot, I can't risk getting sun burn, can I? (blame the weather, lame excuse, I know, recently learnt from a friend, lol)
How can I miss the chance to catch a play in London right? So, a trip to Leichester square where most theatres are housed & a £20 ticket brought me to Buddy Holly. Honestly, I have no idea what the show is about when I bought the ticket, just for the sake of catching a play but it turned out good. In fact, I was enjoying it so much that I hate to see it finish. I must catch another play some other time, not necessarily London though ;)

A funny side story: I was with London map, trying to find my way around, standing at a cross road looking absolutely lost & then a woman with address in her hand walked towards me & asked for directions to the address. At that point, I suspected it might even be a candid show & started looking for hidden camera. Perhaps she thinks I have better chance figuring out (since I have map). Gladly, I'm capable enough not to let her down & managed to show her the way :D
Another interesting place that which deserves a blog by its own is Portobello antiques market. Next blog.

Your poor feet!
I have had people ask for directions from me when I was in a foreign country carrying a map. I assume I look self-assured like a native. :)
Haha...I guess we share the same 'native' look at certain extend then, lol
