One thing I've learned about living in london is to always bring your umbrella. London bridge in the backdrop.
London bridge at night. Looks pretty.
the Ritz Hotel / Ritz Club
Cool structure at night. It also has a casino called the Ritz Club, where an entrance fee is required. Games are considered high stakes and minimum bets are really high. Time to dust off my tuxedo shirt and split Aces!
Buckingham palace
It's a little underwhelming in person. Looks like the Dept. of Education building in DC where Sang used to work.
Piccadilly circus
It's like the time square of london. Lots of tourists, theaters, drunks, and Fast and Furious was filmed there - rip Paul Walker. It took me a month to realize circus = circle. Cool circle, lame circus.
Circus car. Definitely not fast nor furious.
Pink mini cooper with just enough leg room to comfortably fit Ken and Barbie. Side story - I took that picture while on my way to eat fish and chips. It was in this dark neighborhood with minimal street lighting. As I was casually walking thru this neighborhood listening to Jay-Z, I saw 5 or 6 people approaching me that looked like ninjas speaking arabic. I was little stunned and confused. Middle eastern ninjas?! However as I got closer, they were 6 females dressed in all black Burqas. Excellent neighborhood watch gang / ninjas.
Some circus with some statue. Check out that blue cab!
Some statue with his junk hanging out. Nice pose fun boy. Check out that blue cab!
Notting Hill
Besides the colorful homes, Notting Hill was home of the 1958 Notting Hill race riots. It was a series of racially motivated riots that took place in late August to early September. Side story - many of the blue collar / manual labor jobs are held by non british (e.g. indians, eastern europeans). Today I witnessed an incident where this old british women berating an indian worker at Costa - coffee shop. I overheard her saying things like "this is my country", "go back to your country" fucking bitch spitting some fucking bullshit. Ironic and hypercritical.
The good doctor says 3-4 units a day!
Fyi, beers are sold in 4packs. People love to drink here. I think Koreans probably consume more, but english drink all day. I was at a pub where they had a breakfast special, bacon sandwich + pint for 10 pounds! You can also drink in "public places" kinda of like vegas.
Doctors orders. Healthy couple.
Tiki bar. Fruit juice with alcohol. Tasty and nutritious.
Chinatown. Boba tea with alcohol.
Harrods - the mecca of shopping
Harrods department store is like the love child of neiman marcus and bergdorf goodman and if that love child lived in a museum. It used to sell tigers back in the day. Definitely a must see. The lower level has a shrine of princess diana and mohamed al-fayed with an unwashed champagne glass. Kinda of creepy and weird. The store plays opera sometimes and the acoustics are amazing. This is why...
Live opera singer, ballin!
From the set of Scareface
That's how Tony Montana do!
Tempedic dog bed for 1,600 pounds
Delicious langoustines. It's like lobster, shrimp, crab.
Langoustines in my bouillabaisse
We couldn't afford anything at Harrods so we went shopping here....
$1.63
A day trip to stonehenge and Bath. Nicolas Cage used to own a home in Bath before his IRS troubles. It was cold and windy.
Turn up the heat please
Turn on the lights please
The third rock from the left is Baltic Avenue
Roman baths. Ancient roman bath houses. "It stinks like sulfur up in dis bitch"
Next post, Amsterdam (~10yr anniversary), Morocco, and Spain.
