Merry Christmas, from London

It's Christmas for the third day in London! Everyone stays at home and celebrate this festive season with their family, so in London, there have no tubes, buses, trains or any public transports. You need to walk if you want to visit the attractions in London. Also, they have no shops open during this day...

Actually, yesterday after Hyde Park, we did went to Topshop, Oxford Street to shop, because it was still quite early to get back home. But after i stepped into the store for around 15 to 20 minutes, they announced that they will be closing after 10 minutes and it's just only 8 o'clock! So from this, it tells you that  - NOT TO TRAVEL to London or other Western countries during Christmas because you can't get anything include food. @.@

But luckily, my friend's aunt fetched us to have sight seeing around Central London so we manage to not staying in the hotel for whole day long. And she made us Nasi Lemak too! Thanks her very much!! :D

Attractions visited : London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Hyde Park, Malaysia Hi-Com, Tralfagar Square *Actually all these places are near and you can reach by the tube or walking, but i don't think is in Christmas. xD*

After this sight seeing, we went back to our hotel and had a rest. I had a nap for about one hour. Then woke up and find some food for dinner.. But after walking outside the hotel, our dinner was just sandwich! Because it's just only those Indian shops were opened and others were closed. Some restaurant opened but it's too expensive. And the street was so quiet!! What a memorable Christmas in London!

By the way, Happy 2012!!!!! Tomorrow will be Day 4 and Day 5! :)

Christmas Eve in London

Straight to the point - Day 2!

Attractions visited : Harrods, Hyde Park - The Winter Wonderland

Get off from the hotel at around 10 morning. Then, we took the tube to Harrods. Harrods is a shopping mall with many branded products and designers' clothes, such as : Louis Vuitton, Prada, Chanel, Coach and many more. Of course, they still have some cheap products like Nike or Adidas, but it's just a little small part of all those products. And on the day we went there, they was having a sales for perfume. :D

 Drop down here for Harrods. Walk out the tube station and Harrods is on your right hand side. :D

 Escalators in the tube station are mostly tall and fast. @.@ *畏高的人也会怕!!*

 Harrods

Topshop is just opposite the road.

 And Zara beside Harrods.

 I think it should be awesome at night because of the Christmas decorations. :D

 Oh yea! Also, Harrods has their own cafe too! So when you feel tired after shopping, you can have some meal in their cafe or even some restaurants in the upper levels.

 The cafe sells many international food, such as Japan food, Chinese food, Indian food.......

 Designer dress in the second floor...

 The memorable Princess Diana, located at the lower ground floor.

 Harrods gift shop - but i bought nothing.

 Harrods Classic teddy bear.

Finished shopping in Harrods at around 3. I just bought a Mont Blanc perfume for my dad and a Paul Smith one for myself, also a Nike shirt which was having discount. :) Then we shopped at Topshop and Zara. Next stop - Hyde Park, the Winter Wonderland. :D

From Harrods, just one stop by tube and you can reach Hyde Park. During winter, the sky gets dark at around 4 to 5. So when we reached Hyde Park, all the lights decorations are already on. :)

 Can you see the lighting???? :)

Spanish Churros is nice babe! 

 This deer sings all day long, i think.

 Cute ear protector, but too bad they don't have Mickey one.

 Surprisingly, we saw Chinese words. xD

 Lights decorations starts!

In this Winter Wonderland, they have Christmas market and also many fun rides. So you can have your dinner there, and after that, enjoy the rides. I didn't play all the rides because you need to change some token to play them.

 Sweets!

 Yea babe!! And this is my primary memories - ice skating! :)

*实不相瞒,我小学的时候学过溜冰....应该没有人懂,也应该很少人懂The Mines的三楼曾经是Skating rink....然后我妈妈之前在那边卖食物,就让我有机会学....每天放学后,妈妈就会载我去那边,因为他也要工作,然后我就去溜...有时还可以溜到晚上很少人的时候,真是爽!!* ♥♥

 可是现在没有去溜了,因为人太多,加上很久没有溜了..... xP

 People trying to get into the skating rink.

 Lake in Hyde Park...

And you can feed these ducks or swans.

 Getting darker, getting brighter. :)

 I tried this! Not that fun, but you can have the night view of London!

 This is really a bar that you can drink inside while the carousel is still moving.

 Christmas MUST HAVE - Ginger bread!

 Fire to keep warm! :)

 越夜越美!!!

 And still many people coming!

 Can you see the fake snow??? I just think - If London was snowing and the weather was not that warm at this season, maybe they won't have this thing.... LOL

Whole day walking for Day 2! :) Need to sleep now and ready for tomorrow's Day 3!! Stay tuned!
