Pity I didn't have much leaves left to show him around London as much as I would like to. So the first few days (he arrived on a Friday late morning), I tortured him and made him walk like mad and tire him out. *grins* On his arrival day, I brought him to the main areas of the city - Borough Market, Tate Modern (Art Museum) , Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road, Leicester Sq, Soho (China Town), Piccadilly Circus. And for his first weekend, we went to Portebello (Flea) Market, Camden Town and Madame Tussauds. We even went to the Tower of London. Gee... That's really some kinda holiday isn't it? Poor brother of mine. Haha... But there's still so much more in London that he has yet to see - there's London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Spitalfields (Flea) Market, etc.! And there's isn't much days/time left since every weekend we'll be away in some parts of Europe for our holiday. And I have to work. Bummer. But to date, he's managed to get the some other museums - V&A, Science Museum, Natural History - on his own (while I'm at work). Hope he's having fun, apart from the icy winter and frosty fingers from the cold.And for the first time in the 6 months here, I actually got down to trying to cook some RICE on my own for our meals. Haha... Also attempted whipping up more oriental chinese style meals for our dinner (otherwise I normally settle for salad, sandwiches, potatoes or pasta at home). Straining/tiring but fun to eat what I cooked and it gets better with practise. Haha! Now I know how hard it is for Mums to plan and cook dinners.
This coming weekend we're gonna be in Amsterdam, then Nuremberg, Germany the week after followed by Barcelona next. Woo Hoo!! It's gonna be fun and hell tiring. Can't wait!
