Bristol Day 34

Typing this entry on the bus returning to Bristol. My. Suffering from a stomachache. I wonder what is it that I ate.

The weaher again didn't turn out good as the rain poured on us. Merciless. My shoes are wet and so are my socks.
I guess the pair of shoes I am wearing will be disposed and won't join me on my trip back to Singapore in 4 wees
time. 4 weeks is a damn long time.

visited the Queen's palace at Buckingham as well as Abbey Westminster this morning and sort of spent the afternoon
at Harrod's. I really wonder what is the hype all about Al Fayed's departmental store. It was filled with lots of tourists.

A funny incident happened today while at St Jame's Park. I was strolling the park and suddenly a pigeon landed on my
shoulder. And then another. A good sign? No idea but it freaked me a little but after getting used to it, I
'summoned' some other birds to my wrist. Different ones came on. Feeling was nice but weird they were attracted
to me epecially when I had no food with me. Was it because I have a special scent on me? Yes. It could well be
the shampoo I am using at the apartment. It smells like coconut.

Breakfast was a traditional English breakfatst (again) but this time I had cornflakes with milk as well as a cup
of yogurt. Ah. Maybe the yogurt turned bad. Or the milk?

Lunch was skipped but Angela and family walked into a Chinese restaurant opposite Harrod's for dim sum. I was still
feeling bloated from the heavy breakfast.

London wasn't at all an attractive place for me because I found the walkways too narrow and the place is super
populated. I miss Bristol where it wasn't so crowded and definitely more space to walk around. Didn't need to
push my way through. Transport in London was also terrible. I just find it a messed up system or maybe because
we Singaporenans are spoilt. Yes we are. No doubt.

Dinner was fish and chips at The Shakespear pub near Victoria station. They had a sign board outside the restaurant
that said ' World's famous fish and chips' and thus we had to try it. After all, a lot of bragging about the fish and chips
here. This time the experience was better than the one I had in Bristol. It was a sit-in dinner. NOt a takeaway.

It is raining cats and dogs now as I make my travel back to Bristol from London. The weather is everything to complain
about because it is usually dark and gloomy here. I don't think I can be a happy person living here for a long
period of time. I will go crazy. I miss the sun we have in Singapore.

I see the signboard that says M32, the exit which leads us out of the highway and into Bristol. Can't wait to head
back to the apartment for a good sleep. Am tired from all the walking and shoving. And yes, LV was super crowded and I didn't
even bother walking in. So were the other brand names. People are rich during the economic crunch. As for Muji, didn't
walk pass it thus no bag for Andy. Sorry.

Ok. I shall continue the blog again once I head back to the apartment.

Back at the apartment now and preparing to sleep soon but before I do that, I thought it would be good to upload more photos as the photos I took yesterday wasn't able to load up.

Tomorrow is a start of a new week and the coming weekend I might just stay in Bristol to chill out at the casinos or do any other thing except travel. Maybe catch the new movie 2012 or do some shopping in Bristol. After this trip to London, I never will understand why shopping in London is fun. Maybe I just aren't used to crowds. Again, comparing London and Bristol, the amount of people on the streets in comparison makes Bristol look like a really suburb town. I enjoyed the space when we walked back from the bus terminal and to the apartment.

Enjoy the photos and see if I grew fatter in the pictures. :) I doubt it because my pants just fits well.
