Day one, overwhelmed by the sheer size of British Museum while i was roaming from one gallery to another, day two i spent almost half day taking pictures of the Dinosaur at the National history Museum, a comic explaining the extinction of dinosaur is well amusing (see pic). Day three, it was an unusual sunny day for London so i made an effort to have an early start get on the London Eye, where a thirty mins trip in a capsule gave me a smashing bird view of the whole London from 360 degrees, which was really cool. then i walked through st James Park, one of the many royal parks, to China town, had planned to have a proper chinese meal but ended up with expensive greasy dodgy chinese buffet. bad decision making.. well, my nostalgia was more or less satisfied though. after that, i spent the whole afternoon lying on the steps of trafalgar square watching passers-by and feeding smelly pigeons..Day four, i paid an expensive visit to the highly recommended Madame Tussauds. Blimey!! i thought i was early, but the whole morning, i was QUEUEING from outside to inside, from downstairs to upstairs, from the corner to the stairs. a real life experience of living in the UK. to be fair, my good patience was compensated by pulling Chalie chaplin's mustach, holding hand of the king of England, or making faces in front of the president. didn't bother to take a pix with the Queen as had to be charged extra, heehee....had a lovely time there. in the afternoon i went to have a walk at Hyde park and pretended to be homeless tramp on the bench. on my way home in the evening, i took a snap at the 9 and 3/4 platform in king cross station from Harry Porter...Day five, found chinese embassy by chace and while i was taking a pic of it, questioned by police officer if there was any particular reason i was taking a photo of it...and then he started to say what a nice building the embassy is and stuff like that...indeed, the embassy building wasn't too shabby..the rest of the afternoon was spent eating ice cream and sun bathing at Regent's Park, my personal favorite park. Day six. rushing to the Buckingham Palace to see the guard changing cememony in the morning only told there was no changing this morning...Bother!!! nobody told me yesterday. but i felt a lot better when i relized that i wan't the only one that wasn't told about the change either. with a tumbling tummy and a twinkling of an eye, i arrived at Notting Hill saturday market. felt  just like walking in a typical open market in china, it was so crowd that i had to push to make my way. Buying the book of 'Anolects' of Confucious at the travel bookshop with the blue door, which was run by Hugh Grant in the film of 'Notting hill' just made my day...btw, to rent a flat in those pretty Victorian buildings at Notting hill seems so out of reach to most of Londoners. so pricy!!!! Day seven, the blessing of all blessings came by being able to reflect upon the price Jesus has paid for me and joyfully celebrate His resurrection at a church in central london, All Souls.

have a blessed easter
