Trafalgar Square & China Town

As usual, was a norm to visit Hard Rock store for every city that we had visited. Although most of the T shirt had same design in every city, but what the fan crazy about was the city name which printed on the shirt. Paid GBP20 for a shirt and mission accomplished!
We had our lunch in one of the shopping complex at King Road. Before i went London, friend told me that Subway in London was damm nice. I said, well i never ate Subway before. So she said you better go and try out! Alright, now this is my lunch. It was tasty and cheap, only GBP1.99 for the bread and GBP 0.99 for the tea. Soooo cheap!!! (compare dollar to dollar) Since i back to Malaysia, on and off i will go to eat Subway, to recall my memory of London. :) I guess it had been listed into my list after Starbuck!
After visited Radley Shop at King Road, we heading toward Trafalgar square. I came out Radley shop emptied hand. But not to be sad cause whatever i wanted i already received it as birthday gift month ago from Sunyi & Allysa!hehe!
On the way, we passby a street which all branded shop located. There were Cartier, omega, Long Champs, Mont Blanc....
We also passby Le Meridien Hotel, London. Look so classic and grant! It looked more like a museum than a hotel. I wonder do they had any "X file" or not. As written in one of the 刘轩book, London may had more ghost than people.
Voila Trafalgar square. This place was fulled with people. It was very happening and first time i knew that there was a "Believe it or not" museum here!
Before we went to theater, we decided to visit London's China Town. We turn in from wardour street. You see, even there was a china name on the road name in London.
Typical china feel, as what you seen on the tv.I just felt excited that this place was so familiar to me. Same color skin, same culture, same design...
You can brought Chinese magazines, newspapaer here. You heard people talking mandarin and Cantonese here !
You saw all the familiar shop name, Rasa Sayang for example, even with malaysia name in it. But we didn't try out this shop because it doesn't look cheap.
We decided to eat at the shop call "大排档 " which located beside Yong's restaurant.
The food here were same as what we got in Malaysia. We ordered 滑蛋河 and dumpling. Both dishes cost about RM100 for 2 pax. Thanks Allysa for this dinner. :) The food was as nice as in Malaysia.
Asian really was Asian, after ate this dinner, i just felt whole body become refresh. It seem like all my energy came back after a tiring day of walking and suffering on the overnight bus.
May this place gave comfort for those who worked / study in London. By so far away from hometown, we can only recall hometown memory through food and language. Remember, no matter where you are, you are not alone. Chinese were every way in the corner of this earth!

hmm, i think most of it was building. Unless you go somewhere like new zealand, hokkaido, canada, switzerland those scenic country. Because London is a city, so you cannot expect much in the natural scenery.
