Despite the fact that Chicago is known as the 'windy city', the following can definitely be applied to London, especially when its 9:00 AM and you're rushing to your first Monday lecture whilst balancing a pile of books and a cup of coffee in your hand. The struggle is real. So its actually gotten to the point where I have to invent clever ways to keep myself as warm as possible and much to my chagrin, I cannot keep staying in the comfort of my bed. So turtlenecks, sweaters, coats, boots and beanies (anything that will give me thermal coverage) have all become my best friends now. So these items have become definite necessities to my wardrobe but horrible to my bank account (student life). Also, shout outs to my sister and best mate Conrad for helping me take these photos in my main domain, Chinatown, despite looking extremely un-festive and very blue. But hey, isn't blue the warmest colour? (Ok I apologise for the amount of cheese in that.)

LONDON CALLING

Photography by me.

Hey blog, its been a while. But then again, its also been a while since I've last been in HK. Thus the best way to make up for an unexplained absence is to post a myriad of photos explaining the unexplained. Still with me here? Yeah, neither am I. In short, I've spent the majority of June and July traveling all around the globe. In the span of four weeks, I've been on five planes and about to embark on my sixth one tomorrow. I started off my journey by visiting my sister in landan, where we spent many a day venturing out into the city, preparing for my big move in september (!!!) and overall, just having a good time. In my best attempt to list out all the places we went to, we visited canarby, piccadilly, chinatown, oxford circus and spent a lot of downtime in east london. I'll let you re-track our footsteps through these photos and hopefully you'll be as in love with london as I am.

PARADING AROUND LONDON TOWN (PM)

All photos taken by me.

The PM part of day two in london consisted of visiting china town for a lunch and having the most expensive char siu fan ever, all the while witnessing 'land dragon boat racing'; racing off to Trafalgar where my attempts to climb the lion's were thwarted by the bars surrounding it; going off to see Let It Be!, a Beatles musical, which was highly entertaining and left me believing that my name was lucy and that I was indeed in the sky with diamonds; and finally to a quick walk around lovely covent garden in which many things were admired. I was amazed at all the things we managed to get done in a day and london was truly incredible.
