London day 2

 Woke up, and it's time to shower. The apartment has 3 rooms and each and every room is occupied with different tenant from different part of the world. I didn't meet any of them. Probably they are out of the house before I am awake. Bathroom is clean at all times. Airbnb not that bad after all. Best part is it helps me to save loads of money. I paid $140 plus per night for a room in zone 2. Real worth it- according to a friend. 

Walked to a neighborhood cafe for breakfast. 

Lotsa French fries! Ehhh...  Really jiak kantang!

Bought train ticket to bicester village! Bought the transfer from the station to bicester village to save the hassle. The train ride took 1 hour plus. 

It's shopping time. 

Tips: try to avoid weekend. Look at the queue!!!!

Superdry is really cheap here. A t-shirt is about £11-20. 

After buying my stuffs, went to the tax refund counter. Got everything done, took the bus back to the train station. The train back is really crowded due to Christmas shopping. 

Went to burger and lobster for dinner. The menu is either the burger or lobster. £20 each. We had to wait for awhile before we are ushered to our table. Lobster is yummy. Burger... Eh quite alright... Me not really a big fan of burger. £20 for a burger is really expensive. 

A trip to London- day 1

Visited London last year before flying to Dublin for my graduation. 

London, expensive place. Hence, I tried Airbnb for the very first time. Save offline map before my trip (very very useful) and I used it to guide me to the apartment. 

Hard work, hard work! Have to lug my luggage, climb up the stairs, go down the stairs! Phew! 

Got abit lost at the stations too. Bought Oyster card (similar to ezlink) to make traveling easier. The transportation fare is capped at £7 per day. So one can top up the Oyster card accordingly. 

After a few mins walk, finally found the apartment that we will be staying. And once again, have to lug our luggage up the apartment coz there is no lift! Duh... 

Settles down, rest abit and off we go to portobello market. Met up with Elin n David for dinner.  Persian food. Yummy!

After dinner we walk around Hyde park .
