This time, I was finally able to EXPLORE London instead of a swift glance at the city. Covent Garden - It was a popular flea market in London. However, got fame, get rotted. The real artists have moved to other places i think. The commercial change made me disappointed honestly. Arsenal Emirates Stadium - Although my passion for the club has declined from the max, I still took the opportunity to visit the stadium as a gesture of an ex-fans. Didn't join the paid tour (becoz i am not a big big fan anymore). An old Cant. expression: 入屋叫人, 入廟拜神 (greeting the host in others' house, worshipping the god in temple). So I shopped in the souvenir store to 添添香油 (donate in church). Bought a blue shirt patterned with many cannons to my dad. (symbolizes triumph in every MJ battles) and a lady pink robe to myself. London has two big football clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea. When i was tooking a picture in front of the emblem of Arsenal, a taxi driver passed by and pointed at the chelsea badge slung over the rear-view mirror. J Burberry Factory Outlet - Personally i am not a Burberry fan but undeniably the discount is tempting. Anyway, I shopped in the Burberry Factory Outlet next morning and bought: classic check scarf (must-buy item if you want to spend some money in the shop), stripe T-shirt (one of a few relative low-priced item that is not made in CHN) and a pair of rainboot (it has no difference between "Fishmonger Sing" boot except the classic check on it, but it was very good deal, so i bought it and it became a burden for the rest of the trip :P). In return journey, we ate a big meal in a Turkey cuisine restaurant) Tower of London - A historic palace in the London city with lots of interesting stories. The Queen's jewel collection can also be seen there. Intentionally picked the afternoon time to visit the palace so that we can see the sunset on the Tower Bridge which is just next to the spot.
