Hopped onto the Eurostar from Paris to London in 2 hours! The train traveled so fast it made my ears pop! Finally, people who speak English! I was putting up at the London School of Economics, Passfield Hall. Very, very clean and cosy rooms with a fantastic spread of an English breakfast! We’re talking about sausages, scrambled eggs, baked tomatoes, toast and more. One can’t live on cold cuts and croissants everyday, can you?

Les Misérables

Caught the infamous Les Misérables, cheapest seats in the house – Upper Circle £15.00. I recall sitting at the last row of the theatre, the seats were so crammed (I’m about 5′2″ by the way). It was my first time watching a musical. A Korean guy who didn’t speak much English sat next to me. He was a cycling traveler, the first I’ve ever met, and he wore a thin racer costume in the middle of winter.

Transportation is crazy expensive! I was glad I got the London Pass with Travel – “Unlimited journeys on all London Underground, Buses, Trams, Docklands Light Rail and Over-ground Trains within zones 1 – 6, saves you ALOT of money.

Rub in one direction

I had an interesting experience at the London Brass Rubbing Centre taking an elevator down the Crypt and creating my own Christmas art.

The Chelsea FC Stadium tour was really enjoyable with an engaging guide cracking jokes and keeping the kids entertained. Funny, though not surprising, that I was the only girl at the Chelsea FC Stadium Tour, the participants were fathers with their sons and dudes in a group. By the way, I’m not biased towards Chelsea or anything, it came free with the London Pass.
