Dare to London - Episod II (Carnaby Street, Covent Market, Chinatown)



When I woke up it was already 12pm. My buddy Him took me to a restaurant nearby to have "breakfast" and it was the first time I was having a all english breakfast, yummy! After the quick meal we then dressed up and following Hin's uncle to the train station. When we reached London it was already 2pm. First we have a quick glance at the famous Carnaby street while walking to meet another friend. It is really different when you have a tour guide. Our first destination was Chinatown and we have another meal there :) So let's take a walk!


This is the place where I stayed, nice house and very "English" style :)

向梦想出发!伦敦游记 - 1 (Dare to London - 1)


伦敦,大不列颠帝国的首都,曾经是那么不可一世的世界中心,是我向往的其中一个地方。如今趁着公干的机会,加上好朋友的照应下,胆粗粗的就从荷兰阿姆斯特丹飞了过来。之前搜索了少许资料,本以为火车会便宜,怎知道算来算去还是要我两百大欧元。还是我在荷兰的同事提点我坐飞机,时间短而价钱更便宜,才135欧元。我立即就订了机票,向梦想出发!

London, the capital city of United Kingdom and once upon a time was the centre of the world is always in my wish list to travel there. However due to the restriction it is not easy to enter UK. But this time I have taken the opportunity of my business trip to pay her a visit! Thanks to my buddy to offer me accommodation :) First I was thinking of taking train to London, but Eurostar is not cheap at that time. Furthermore, the trip will take longer time. My colleague in Amsterdam told me to look for the cheap flight ticket from Easyjet. I couldn't believe my eye when I saw the price - €135 return flight! Without hesitation I booked the flight and fly to my dreamland!

我成搭九点早上的班机,抵达伦敦Stansted机场时才九点十分(时差啦!)。我要帮我的一个同事找个地方落脚然后我们才四处去逛,所以我们先乘搭巴士到BakerStreet。由于之前工作繁忙,无暇找齐资料,就打算到最著名的景点看看,然后傍晚才去跟我的朋友回合。

I took the early flight at 9am, and when I reached London Stansted airport it was only 10 mins past. This is due to the 1 hour time different. The flight took about 1 hour and 10 mins. I need to get a hostel for my another colleague who joined me so we took the A6 bus to Baker street. I was quite busy working before this and did not have sufficient time to survey around. So my first destination in London was to the famous British Museum, then only meet up with my buddy at night.

第一站就是世界闻名的大英博物院!乘搭伦敦地下铁到Russell Square出来走一段路就可以看到了。这博物馆真的让我大开眼界!

I took the Underground to Russell Square station, just a short distance I found the British Museum. It was really amazing visit!

Easyjet, took the photo when boarding.

博物院在大约五十三时分就关闭了,我们只好离开去祭我们的五脏庙。之后我们就去另外一个景点,伦敦大桥!

The bridge is very beautiful.. really worth to visit London!
真的是不虚此行,这伦敦大桥是在是太美丽了。

After that I took the Underground to Liverpool Street, and took train to my buddy's place.
We have a long chat at that night! We will meet up with another good friend tomorrow! Yeahhhh
大约光了两个多小时,我就去找我的好友了,得知另外一个好友也在伦敦,大家就决定明日一起逛!异地重逢实在是太开心了。

This is a dual language version :)
这次写的是双语版,觉得母语比较能表达我当时的心情。

I Amsterdam - Part IV (Red Light District)



You all have seen the shiny part of Amsterdam, nice weather, beautiful scenery, cool buildings. They all are just matching the capital city of Holland. However, do you know about the dark side of Amsterdam? Hehehe... I am going to bring you there and expose you to the city of freedom.


If you are not aware of it, Marijuana (Weeds) is legal in Holland.. so as prostitution. Every weekend, youngsters from other European countries came down to Amsterdam for some excitements and entertainments which they will never get in their countries. For me I believe if everything is under control then everything is safe. Amsterdam is one of the most peaceful place that I known. You won't see people fighting outside the bars, no youngster making joke of Asian people.. it is not what I thought before - everything is just ... relax!

Coffeeshop in Amsterdam is not the actual cafe to drink afternoon tea. This is the place to sell weeds and special cake. Customers are only allowed to smoke weeds inside. Coffeeshop is everywhere in Red light district.

So here we are! This area is not far from city centre and obviously it is the main attraction point for tourist - Red Light District. Those prostitutes was standing at the back of the neon light room "Red Room" and waiting for business.

Live sex show? Peep show? Erm... you have can it all in red light district.

Look at this, attractive neon light and manager is standing outside to invite tourist for the show. It will cost you like 12-15 Euro.

Peep show, it is like a room with small hole for you to peep the lady inside the room.. satisfying your lust.. legally ;)

Look at the amount of people passing by in the evening. Most of them are tourists.

You can get some "tools" here if you want something "special" with your partner.

It is getting darker and darker, but the life in red light district is just about to start. Night is still young...

Another Coffeeshop with nice decoration. However inside got no coffee... lol

A prostitute standing behind the glass door. Just for your info, it is illegal to take their photo...

These red rooms are all business area for prostitutes. Business is quite good on Saturday night.

This room is covered with curtain.. meaning they have some businesses inside :)
For your info, different colour of light indicates different type of services. Red is normal, Blue is transsexual.. so check carefully before you get embarrassed.. lol!

It is worth to visit the Red Light District, you can call Amsterdam the city of freedom, city of sin, or paradise.. it is up to you. Well worth to see such an area with so much of things that we will not accept however everything is under great control.

For your last info - Holland government is slowly shutting down the red light district.. so if you want to visit, make it earlier!
