Experiencing Culture- London

Journey continue to London...

and here we are^^

Day-05 On the Train and Arrival in Generator Hostel

Well... I couldn't even sleep for a minute in the train... and this is what I am doing@@
KING'S CROSS ST. PANCRAS--> tadaaaaaa~~ Arrived... Spot something interesting in the public area of the hostel. 

The Lion King Theatre

Well... is so so so so so incredible including the set up, the arrangement,the sound the everything~ is so unbelievable... I would go to see again once I have a chance to reach there.

And also we have a short walk in Convent garden and have our first meal in London--> Fish n Chips

Day-06 SCIENCE MUSEUM 

In this building, is similar as Petronas Science Museum but is more bigger and professional... Including the product they sell, the arrangement, hand-on display unit, program and so on. The area have 5 floor but we can only proceed to third floor. Due to the time limitation, I actually have a fast 'pass by' for those information without hand-on activity or model/illustration attraction.

The best place is located at the 3rd floor which every equipment is waiting for you to experience. They don't direct give you answer through the display unit while you might need a guide to explain you a lot of knowledge in details. There are also a lot of activity been held in the center for example schedule experiment, school trip workshop, science discussion and so on. Activities are all arrange in a very detail and perfect way while the visitor can manage to try out a lot of things at there.

The other best exhibition hall for me is the hall that provide the history of the plane. The whole area is playing with a bridge just to let you see the plane nearer. By provide the darker lighting, the whole place is just like a place to park/stop the airplane while is not in-use. 

Oh ya, the best things for the museum is, is free~~ is a really nice place to explore, but maybe you can try to give out some donation for better maintain... 

Harrods--> Lilly White--> Convent Garden

Within the same day, we go to shopping!! Haha... I manage to bring some of them go to the market which selling a lot of interesting things in front of a church. Is special, is nice and is wonderful~~~ but too bad for us as we reach convent garden too late... and shop had already close...T.T

But, my friends did buy A LOT of clothes, shoes and bag@@ well... the price is quite attractive by the wayXDXD


Day-07 Change of Guard 

Early in the morning, we depart to the Buckingham Palace to watch the change of guard... is so crowded outside the palace while the opposite site is the Hyde park with trees and grass... we manage to see squirrels at there~~ is really WOW... after that we go to have lunch nearby the Kid's Discovery Center...

Kid's Discovery Centre and Olympic Park

The kid's Discovery center actually have a awesome ideas~ By started with the theme of Alien, they explore a lot of unique hand-on display unit. Is quite lucky for us because we can take photo easier as there is not much kids around there. 

About the Olympic park... Is still under construction, but for me is so new to see futuristic modern style building in UK... I quite like it^^ even I prefer to have more Heritage building... 

Historical Walk

Historical walk start from Big Ben, Cathedral, further view of London Eye, and other Historical Buildings around. Is so Incredible and the feeling is so unique after I see all those modern building and now go back to heritage building...

Oh, look, Hakim, Ms Sharmila and I are going in to the wall... swooshhhhhh~~ hahhhhaha... Well... we manage to take this picture in King's Cross Station and since is night time... we no need to queue for it XDXD LUCKYYYY~~ 

Day-08 Tate Modern and Tower Bridge 

After walk around in Arsenal stadium, part of us decide to leave the stadium without having tour inside. We depart to Tate Modern and start to Explore it... Is quite similar as the Pompodou in Paris... I mean the art work... 

After that we walk through the long bridge in front of it and have our Lunch--> Fish n Chips (again) at the road side. 

We reach London Tower and start to find our lecturer... But actually they are at Tower Bridge... What a misunderstanding... How Nano and I found it out is... We look snap their photo from far and zoom in to check their face... BINGO... we got it correctXDXD Seriously is fun rightXDXD

Royal Festival Hall & Meet up with Eva 

After walk around in Tower Bridge, we go to Royal festival hall, we are so lucky to found out there is a 'Night Market' which sell a lot of foods, cheese, jam and so on. There is a lot of delicious food while I can't actually try all.

After few hours tasting around, finally I manage to meet my cousin sister--> Eva... Feel so warm to meet siblings outside from your country~~~~~~ We walk along the river back to the tower bridge... after check in Hotel, we have dinner at a Spain Restaurant... Is really nice... you pay what you eat seriously... it really worth and hope that you all can have a try on their food if any of you manage to visit there... I will find out the name and show out after that...

Day-09 Gherkin, Lloyds

After having breakfast in Hotel we Eva, we decide to go to Gherkin and Lloyds... B-U-T............. There is such a long queue from the entrance all the way long to the shop opposite... few like it queue few miles away from entrance=='That's why I didn't manage to go... Hmmmm~~ well... is good enough for me already... at least I still manage to take photoof the exteriorXDXD 

Borough Market

The best place to experience the culture is MARKET... because a market usually have a lot of local selling stuff and local that always visit... including the food, pastry, pickles, cheese, jam, nuts and so on. Is quite hard to explain but I really hope that people that visit there can try out this unique market^^

British Museum and Gallery

This is the British Museum that actually located few steps from Generator Hostel... Is a bit different to compare the outside and inside as the inside part is like another world...

This is the mummies exhibition in the British Museum that attract me a lot. I manage to see the mummies from different century and level. After that we have a light-bite and we go to the Gallery and see Sunflowers~~~ is WOW... Is like I saw the real things from the reference book @@

After walk around, we go to buy souvenir for my family and have a last meal(Ramen) in London... Eva, thanks for being taking care of me in London. I hope you stay well and take care of yourself anywhere anytime^^ Miss you...
