My first ever trip in the world

without visa

How cool is that?!

I went to London last weekend

Everything seems to be God's plan

When I was in the Basel to take the flight to London

They checked on my friends passport on the nationality,

and since Singaporean doesnt need visa to UK,

they let her in.

I thought the lady assumed I came from Singapore too,

and only looked at the expired date of the passport.

So I got in the plane.

That is the first miracle...

I was stopped by the immigration in London and were being asked about the visa

I thought I would got detained and being sent back

But I didnt

I was just asked to filled some document

about 1 hour, everything settled,

my passport would be kept by them until my return date of the ticket.

Second miracle I got pass the immigration custom,

without to pay a penny!

When I return to Swiss by plane,

There was policemen who fetched me and my friends

So cool! Cause we didnt need to take bus and wait at the windy snowy night.

Every passenger was looking at us.

Direct drive to the office.

We cut all the queue and in 5 minutes,

We were out.

Save at Swiss. I was at Geneva by then.

Anyway I was happy when I was in London.

It was so different than in Swiss.

Maybe because Pounds is so low there,

so I think there is cheaper.

Like for example,

we found lots of chinese food that is very affordable

and they have night life too

And the best thing, they speak the language that I can understand

In Bern, I live in an alien planet.

The people speak German

So all the train explaination, poster, newspaper, movies, all in German

And until today

I didnt learn any German words at all

maybe Dunke(thank u), Damen(woman, i see this alot as toilet sign)..

But the people say Thank you in France (mercy)

So weird.

continue about London,..

I saw Prince William and Harry house.

From outside laaaaaaaa

Nothing too extravagant,

Its located near the Buckingham Palace

I love the museum in London,

The British Museum have those mummy collection

Lots of scrupture of the Greek and Roman God

The National Museum got the fossil stuff

The dinosaurus and the sea marine fossil!

If u read Charles Dicken book

He mentioned lots of places in London

I dont read the book obviously

My literature friends told me so

The weather in London was fantastic when we are there

It was a clear clear blue sky!

When u can see the airplane smoke on the sky..

Its that clear

Though normally London is famous for their bad weather and gloomy day.

I was impressed with the shopping center called Harrods.

It was amazing.
Every room have very authentic design and beutiful in its own way

Never seen something like that before

I went to the market too,

try to eat Blackberry(which is really good).

I was so tempted to eat the rock osyter!

1 for 1.20 pounds. Fresh

I bought 1. Haha.

It tasted like heaven okay!

I havent been eating fresh seafood since I am here

Its all FROZEN seafood.

So sick.

Branded stuff should be cheap now in UK,

since pounds drop like crazy,

everyone should go there and shop for now

London Rocks!
