Portobello Antiques Market

Portobello market 'wakes up' as early as 6am, unfortunately I don't wake up as early. Anyway, reached there at 9am & the crowd is almost as big as Oxford street.

Antiques are very subjective, they could be very valuable to some but just junk to others. I have no idea how to judge if it's real antiques (but the price surely makes them seem like one) so my trip is merely for eye-opening purpose.

On top of antiques, designer accessories (which are gorgeous but also very expensive), funny gadgets (even gas mask are sold), cloths, leather bags/jackets, vinyl records, food (exotic instead of English, funny) etc can also be found along the very long stretch street.

The walk was an enjoyable one, despite the hot weather (yes, surprisingly there's no rain at all in UK the whole week I was there) & painful feet. Even the bargaining process differs a little from the normal market bargaining that I'm used to back home (M'sia). Wish I have more time... efinitely want to go to Copenhagen's flea/antiques market to compare how things differ within Europe.

Anyway, I'll be flying to Berlin for a week's holiday beginning tmr. So again, not so frequent (or maybe even none at all) updates during this period & will resume when I come back. Berlin is caling for me, can't wait...
