Mind the GAP - London


Don't expect any WOW pictures of the London Bridge or whatsoever. It was raining the whole time when I was in London. Coincidentally, the Victoria line was under construction. Basically I was in the rain and cold wind half the time. I started sniffing the 2nd day in London. My denim jacket could not keep me warm anymore. (Excuse to Babi's ear)


Easy Hotel. A concept exactly like the overnight train. This is how big the passage way is.

Please note - Only for the tight budget traveler with no kids. HH how you survive this hotel huh??



My London is made up of 2 categories. Shopping and eating thats all. So let me take you to the journey of Seline's eating ugly gluttony ritual.

This is just the starter

Enjoy the yummilous MacDonald Hotcake with sausages. Missing an Ice Milo only





BABI, you looked like china man here!!!






The traitors gate.

See the people behind on the river shore, they were picking up treasures dating back to the 15th century. It was on the news.



Sushi and bento


You were never fall sick when it comes to shopping





I went back the next day again.


Dinner Korean


How can you forget Dessert!!!
芒果西米露
and ginger soup with black sesame tang yuan

Last day
Char siew 菠萝包
for breakfast while waiting for dim sum to open at 11am

The authentic push cart Dim sum






This was taken in the southern railway.
Our train to Gatwick was only £1 for 2 person. Not including reservation fee.


I was already in a food overdose coma.
I saw the baguette at the train station and insisted on getting it.
The shots were taken unknowingly. See my tummy exploded.

Thank ah dear. Don't try to act like you dun know me lor.
I should not have share my baguette with you.

Lastly a tomato juice on the plane home. See the boy behind, he keeps starring at me.

Paris Oh lala

Bonjour! Welcome to the city of light.
The place where inspiration of luxury came upon.
Where designers experiment with their fashion teeth.
A place where you dump all your moolahs.
Nevertheless, the aroma smells of fresh Parisian Pastry. Especially in the morning, there will be croissants or pain au chocolat in the patisseries. How can you say NO to the dangers of this delicious Parisian minefield!!!


I like sitting in their Metros. Why? They have this door knob thing where you pull to the right, which I find it quite fascinating, then the door will open even when the train is still moving. Couples of time, Jeremy pull it too early. With the gush of wind blowing, it was like filming some action packed movie, where you have to jump out the train. (Okay, I think too much)


My first point of interest in Paris. Galeris Lafayette and PrinTemps. They close at 10pm.
I know many of you are trying to spill the bean out from my mouth. Yes, I got my bag and my earrings. That would be all for now.

My SA that served me was great. She purposely pulled out the barrier for us as some were trying to grab the bag when I was trying it. Damn you Middle Eastern!! (Not trying to be racist) but you guys were really annoying and rude. Want to get unlimited stock, try Printemp. They have many hard to reach goodies!!! This is what my SA told me as not many people come and visit this small store.
























The next morning at 8am. Trying to avoid any crowd at all cost.
We went to the famous Angelina



They only have 2 set menu for breakfast. Their croissant was excellent. Jeremy had 2. We tried their specialty Hot chocolate and Mont blanc cake. If you are a fan of hot chocolate, this might be for you. It is really rich in concoction.(Sweet Tooth) Not the everyday hot choc you find in the street.




The egg Benedict was superb in my opinion. Sour for Jeremy








Arc de Triomphe


This donkey below make me walk to 3 Gucci outlet.


The 2 lovely entertaining SA.
No photograph of the store, so they allow me to take a quick shot of them.


Here is DisneyLand Paris. Sorry only outside ah. Somebody got the wrong date.


No Disneyland :( but got Disney store right!!!
[You should have shot your head long ago.]

We went to watch Harry Potter in the end. 3D version


We were supposed to go Mollard for dinner.
But a friend introduces me this place along Champs Elysees. They have adverts all over the metro station. The restaurant only served Mussel and more Mussels.
Erhhh.. They have other things, but most patrons that go there only order mussels.


Paris - It's all about the fashion, food and wine. We will be back.
As for now, let take a bow and wave hello to the Englishmen

Land of Gladiator

The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator.
Roma Here I come... Where historical Hero once lived in this bloodshed land.
Ciao!!! Chow my head!!! Rome is so freaking hot!!!! Their international airport FCO is quite bad. We waited for about 45 mins to receive our baggage. By the time I arrive, it was nearly 11pm. Let not even go to the stupid dumb hotel. I only had a big ceiling fan. The only benefit was that I stayed near the train station, Where there are abundant of food stalls, restaurants, halal.... blah blah.


After arriving, we head straight for dinner/supper. Right opposite my hotel. Poor Jeremy fell ill in Rome. All he had was 1 pizza, the rest was either soup or tortini.



The 2nd day we head to Vatican city. Yah...The quest to follow the angel and demons. Those who went will know how long the queue is. We were in Jeans. OMG!!!


Some photos in the Vatican. Not all photos will be posted. As to not bored you. Check it in FB..


Most photo of me came out quite blurry. Thanks to someone. Common lai hor BABI!!!










Alright, let leave the museum. It is getting more and more boring... YAWN


St. Peter Basilica.


More queue


A note : Please bring a mini fan. Many people were staring at us because we were carrying the fan. WAHHAA!!! The others were busy using map or fan.. A lady actually came up and ask where we got it.






I cannot walk anymore, Let just hop on the bus. See my pink fan. It has a bottle behind filled with water to spray on your skin.


Pantheon


Trevi Fountain in the day.
Jeremy did toss a coin, but not that TOOT to toss a euro coin.Hehheh


This restaurant has the best home made tiramisu. Not to sweet. It was mama mia!!


Trevi Fountain at night - Just look at the crowd.


Colosseum - is this counted as one of the 7 man made wonders of the world??





Bye Bye ROME. You have many beautiful magnificent historical building, but your weather is just soaring high HOT HOT!!
I MISS the many varieties of Spaghetti and Tiramisu
