Touristy stuff

Last weekend I went and did touristy stuff - went to Buckingham Palace, Green Park, St. James' Park, Big Ben and House of Parliament. And so I went ah....so this is what the big fuss is all about! I think they are worth having a look - after all they're historical buildings and I'm sure historians/archictecture buffs would marvel at them. What I found fascinating were all the spires and pointy things with gold flag-like things on them. I'm referring to Big Ben and the houses of parliament. It seems that they have numerous lightning conductors adorning every corner of the building. Maybe they are there to prevent pigeons from resting?

Yesterday was a beautiful day - the sun was out, it was warm, the parks were filled with people sunbathing, just having a walk and having a picnic. I really enjoyed walking around on my own, observing other people having a good time. Of course I wished family and friends were with me (read: wish you were here kinda postcard), but I can't have everything can I?

Anyway, I've officially moved into my new flat, and I'm going to vacate my service apartment tomorrow. So adios my service apartment which has served me well in the last 4 weeks...

EAT.

EAT. My latest food haunt. They sell soups, sandwiches, juices, muffins, biscuits and other good stuff. I like the sandwiches - I've eaten the crayfish and rocket leaf sandwich and it's good. Their soups are good too - coriander and brocolli, chicken noodle soup. Heh heh....that's when I get my hot soup and sandwich craving.

Funnily enough today I feel like eating Chinese food. I'm even of having dim sum at this Chinese restaurant near my new flat. Maybe I'll do a Sunday dim sum lunch thing. Oh yeah, I went to Bayswater last sunday and ate at this Chinese place called 'Four Seasons'. Their roast duck is really good! Lots of fat though...but everything else about it is great! Maybe I'll go back there for my Chinese fix.
