| Tower Bridge - fortunately it wasn't raining |
I start my UK travelogue with....of course London, the heart of England. I had spent a very short time there and thus I cannot describe much about this city. People might say that Paris is 'City of Love', so what about London? James Bond's city? or Mr Bean's City? Actually UK is the first foreign country that I went to. Until now, I haven't been in Singapore, which is located just across the Tebrau Strait. Hahaha what a shame! London is a big city, has the combination of modern and classic landscape. You could see the Victorian era buildings stand still as well as the monuments (Though large part of the city had ruined during the WWII German bombing and great fire once). What's more? There were bronze/stone lions. Lion is synonym with England, but there is no lion in UK right? Why ??? About the building, one thing that I had spotted there; you could see Tesco or any other exclusive shops in the old buildings. In addition, those buildings are clean and equipped with up to date facilities and utilities. It is very-very rare to find such scenery in Malaysia. Few imperial era buildings could be found in Penang and Malacca but the rest have become faded. Yeah, this is London anyway.
