home

Sitting outside in the sun eating a pub lunch with fat chips
Sitting inside a pub watching the football, pint in hand
Commuting to London on the tube, paying ridiculous amounts for peak-time tickets
Walking in the woods, with the dog
Eating home-cooked deserts
Cooking a BBQ
Sleeping in a comfortable bed
Lying outside in a garden, in the sun, breathing in fresh air, with birds all around

... a typical trip home

Topped off with a visit to Jongleurs for some live comedy (sorry, but the Chinese are not known for their sense of humour!), a walk around Hampstead (one of the poshest areas in London with expensive houses, trendy cafes etc), a trip to some 'fringe' theatre (intimate theatre with only 80 seats, that is not in the West End) and catching up with friends/family.

London is, and always will be, such a special place full of wonderful drinking establishments, eateries and people from all over the World... I am still recovering from seeing so many non-Asians! It has been a perfect week of walking around, seeing the history, culture and chic-ness of london. Plus meeting all the Plan UK people has been a real pleasure; partly as most of them are all young ladies!

If only London was not so damn expensive...
p.s. i had forgotten what it is like to drive... on the left... in a little car in areas full of posh cars... and had to park between 2 Porsches on a hill. Good job I remembered.
