THE ENGLAND TOUR TO TOUR DE FRANCE

It has been almost 2 months i left my empire. i m now no longer an emperor. hhahahahahha. do i miss home? not as much as i left to be enlisted in 1995, in fact, i m beginning to love this new land. it's my 1st time i step my foot in the UK and i think i know how this place works by now, literally. I have to thank my wife for making sure i fit in well here and all the elders and locals that make me feel welcome.

After settling down well, my wife and i plus mocha (he flew from msia for his backpacking experience) began our journey to explore london and paris, 2 of the oldest citites in the world. we started off from england and moved our way down to france and back to london before mocha flew back to msia again. he will then become a lecturer of history back in msia. oh ya, he's a PhD holder in ancient history, specialise in gothical myths and legends. he visited northern uk to deepen his research. next leg, he will be going to the old saxon areas.

Below are pictures of london/england during the 1st leg of our journey...

Typical buildings around all the corners in the heart of london

This is how the sky look like in 8pm summer time

This is what a real limousine look like, tell that to KLIA Limo service

after chanting some spells to my camera, it can then took pictures of harry potter's magical bus

Harrods, it's packed and smelly for some reason in the summer

Somewhere near eton college (MCKK of the West)

A nice n generous cathedral - Exeter Cathedral where u can take pics at any angle in the church as u like, now... that's the spirit of sharing, not like some cathedrals which do not understand the meaning of glorifying God in a generous way

The Buck-Palace

Unkel Ben

Come-la.... or kamlan?

Jimmy Choo is Bicester Village. nice place to shop for designers clothes, cheap somemore

Ripley's museum, better watch the tv show

V-for Vendetta

Then we ventured down south of england, to Portland. it shaped like a small appendix for Dorsett. it's one of the UNESCO world heritage site. Portland is famous for it's stones that been used to rebuild london after the great fire. Dorsett is where the stonehenge hides.

This is not the stonehenge but it's the wannabe

Gon managed to carved our name on one of the stones

Some stonechairs on one of the portland clifts, facing the open sea

After portland, we continued our journey to Paris. we took the eurostar fast train and reach paris in less than 4 hours. it's a very smooth journey. everyone fast to fall asleep. we had our 1st culture shock in paris as after we stepped out from the train, english words keep on decreasing in numbers. by the time we stepped out of the platform, it's all in french. luckily we managed to learn the word 'sortie' (exit). then is time for us to use their underground (tube). it's all in french, even the auto tix machines r in french! talk bout trying to blend in! hahahahhahaa. but anyway, we managed ourselves. we had high IQ, it's all bout numbers basically. after 24hrs, the 3 of us can move around using their tube service like the locals.

Inside the Lourve

The famous Arc de triumphe

Then somebody loves shopping that much, so i bought her an LV paperbag

Typical buildings and sky in paris

oh, did i mention we cycled around paris? it's cheap too and very convinient

After a long day of cycling, i treat myself to a limo with lots of chicks

Then i went to repent for that.....this is Church of Jesus

Famous street for gals to do shoppings and guys to be sad

Upskirt photo of eiffel

Sunset on eiffel, tried to have a dinner looking at the tower while the sun setting down but the price of the meal there just does not make up the maths

Not sure what's this building

This is the church of jesus nightphoto

Hallelujah, meet jonjon, cindy's long lost friend who brought us around paris eating the local chinese food. very nice food indeed.

Next we visited the catacombs of paris

all the walls here r build up by bones

Monster and pepi will love it here

A small chapel in the catacomb

After paris, we moved back to london as mocha's flight back to tanahair departed from gatwick and we also think that living any longer in paris will make us join the homeless clan there or maybe i can start a begger clan in paris hahahahahah.

we went to chinatown (licester square) and found out that durian is really the king of all the fruits there. back in msia, u can get all that lot for rm5!! or pay rm10 n u can go into the farm n do the harvesting urself. ppl usually go using pickups.

went to windsor castle

then to whitehouse's branch in london. we were lucky that mr obama greeted us and asked us to sit on his table, 'Make yourself at home.. guys..'

after whitehouse, we were greeted by the queen and she insisted to take pic with cindy as she said both of them r same size n height.

Then this julia also didn't wanna lose out, so she asked cindy to pose with her so that she can then again proclaim herself as 'pretty woman'

Along came johnny, he also wants some limelight

talk bout bad temper, i managed to stop the hulk from squeezing me with my 2 fingers only. who say he's strong?

'unkel, want some mars?' u can see that he's quite annoyed. i only found out that he's on hunger strike after i read up in wikipedia. he should have tell me earlier.... unkel--- ahh...

it's 2009 now.. u r a Freeman now morgan, don't think bout that movie anymore... Glory

All those fun figures can be found at this aunty's hse, Aunty Tussauds. Shop at tesco, n u can win urself a free entrance to aunty tussauds'. thanks to sean, we got a good deal for this
