The place where I belong
London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.
Do I really belong in London? Hmmmm... let's see.
I was in London two years back and I do find London as interesting as Paris. Although the weather was a bit chilly (and sometimes as rainy as KL) for me, but it's really nice (except when it rains lah!) for a stroll in the Regeant Park or along the...what's that street's name again, with all those shopping outlets e.g. M&S, Debenhams... I'm confusing it with Singapore's Orchard Road. Nevermind. I think you know what I'm trying to say. The wind in your hair... And I belive you won't sweat as much after walking 5km or even more!
What else do I like about London? Apart from the usual Tourist's hotspot...
Food? They were ok although a pricey (after converting it to RM). Being a Muslim, it's not hard to find food there. The place where we stayed (Marble Arch), there were lots of Arabs. So, Halal food can be easily found. But, as I said, expensive. We bought a set of fish and chips and shared it amongst the 3 of us (me, Cik Lee, & Greect). I only wished I had tried original London's food, if there were such thing as that. Oh well...
The traffic? They were not as bad as KL's. No cars honking, and no cutting queue. People were quite polite. Their driving, I mean.
Not that I'm saying the people themselves are not polite. I don't know. I didn't have the chance to actually interact with any of them directly. I was either too busy snapping pictures or too busy window shopping.
Food. Traffic. People.
Transport. My friend once told me that London has the most well-planned public transportation infrastructure in the world. I didn't believe her until I was there myself. True. Going from one place to another was a piece of cake. You only need to buy one ticket for both the Bus and the Underground trains as long as they are in the same Zones. Although when you're Underground, you might find yourself lost trying to figure out which channel leads to which platform that takes you to the route you're heading to. Now, I'm lost trying to explain it to you... ??? But honestly, taking public transportations in London is the best way to commute between places there.

The park. I love the parks there! In the morning, you see people rushing of to work but by 3 or 4pm, they were already in the park. Makes you think do people even work? It's just not the same here. Over there, you could see people lepaking around, just relaxing, lying on the green green grass and enjoying the scenery with their loved ones, which could also be their pets! They do walk their dogs there and, Malaysians please take note of this, they pick after their pets. You know, their pet's poo, doo-doo, shit, whatever names you call it! Anyway... they have this service where people can rent a section of the park to have a book reading session with other people, or just rent the chairs to rest in the park. We didn't have time for that since we were only there for about 3 days. There were lot of places to cover and things to do in those 3 days.
I guess what I'm really saying is, Yeah, I do like being in London.
Honestly, I like being anywhere where I don't have to work! Hahahaha!!!
But, do i belong there? Do I belong anywhere?
PS: I kept all souvenirs e.g tikets to Madame Tussaud's and rides around London, and the city's Map too hoping to make a scrap book about my trip to London. But, up til today, laziness got the best of me!
