Hiiiim Ung in London Adventure 21 Jan 09

Hiiim Ung is tired from the exciting journey.

Chronicles

12 am Set off to airport but S Bahn train broke down. So need to take metro to Ostbahnhof instead at such late nite when the metro will be closing soon.

2 am finally reach the airport. Can have a sleep on the seats hehe after checking in on the lufthansa kiosk. There are no planes flying after midnite till 6am. Phone low batt forget to bring charger. People are cleaning Terminal 2

5am wake up when the people comes to work. Went to the toilet and go to the custom.

6am Boarded the plane but it was delayed becos there are no landing slot at London City airport at zone 3 near to the city centre

9 am After waited for 1.5 hrs with some sleep while waiting, finally reach London. It was suppose to reach at 740 am. Bought the Oyster card and charge 10 pounds inside. Went to Barclays to withdraw money.

10 am Reach the city centre using Dockland Light Railway. East London look so delapidated.

Headed to chancery lane. Walk around trying to find staple inn building.

12pm Its time for lunch. Due to pound depreciation food is cheaper than in euros now. Ate some Jap food and bought a book.

1pm Walk around London city and took the bus and tube lots of it. Went to the National Gallery and Tourism Malaysia just to take a look. Free attraction. Bought a pair of Clarks leather shoe for 25 pounds very cheap. Went around Oxford Circus and done some shopping. Lots of free english news paper available. So many foreigners there it just feel so at home with familiar brands and even Malaysian food at 5 pounds hehe so tempted to eat.

6pm Getting tired and packed some KFC yummy just 4.39 pounds variety meal with 3 wings, strip and breast with fries n drinks. Check into easy hotel at Earl Court Road.

8pm After taking a bath went to sleep like a pig. The room is small but comfortable.

Next day hiim org wake up late at 830 am rushed out to get to the metro. The Flight is at 11am. London is notorious for the tube delay. By 9 am still stuck in the tube getting stressed. Use other route from Westminster to Canning Town some more delay. Look how small the tube is!!!!! Suddenly feel singapore MRT is so wide n spacious.

Finally reach the airport at 10am, need to check in quick n go boarding but the flight is delayed until 1150 am. What the heck, found a place to rest and check in buy some breakfast and went to the boarding lounge area. The flight back was super noisy. I will not take a turbo prop plane again. Touched down in Munich at 3pm and went back home from there. The trip is very packed and fulfilling. Hopefully can collect mileage on my UA.
