For this half-term break, my friends and I decided to took a day off to London for a long-craved shopping spree. Our gang leader, Lynne always booked the train ticket for us, just £2.65 per way this time!
Reached our destination, London Paddington Station.
London underground tube...the train is coming! Going to Oxford Circus, our first planned location.
First stop: Oxford Circus Station.
First shop we had seen when we went out from the Oxford Circus Station, Topshop! New floors opening!
Really huge, 4-floors Nike store so it's called "Niketown"
Designing your own Nike shoes!
London Carnaby Street...in search of restaurant for lunch...all restaurants are full!
Regent Street
Waiting to meet with a Thailand classmate and his friend in Piccadilly Circus...
In the end, we settled our lunch in Chinatown!
Then, we headed to Harrods. It's so dark already at 5.00pm!
Looks like Sunway Pyramid copy this Egyptian-style designing concept...
There are so many rules to shop in the "world's most famous luxury department store": ensure all clothing is clean and presentable and that shoes are worn, no food, no drinks, and have to keep moving!!! It's so embarrasing that my friends and I actually get urged by a security to keep moving while we r standing and chatting at the main door. He said that we'r blocking the way and the point is there was not much people there at that time!
Having some snacks and ice-cream in McD.
It's time to get back but we were shocked to see the station closest to where we were was sealed! Well, that's definitely not part of our plan and we didn't expected it to happen...we do not have much time left before the train back to Oxford leave!!! We rushed as fast as possible to the next station and got the underground train back to Paddington Station. But we found out we got on the wrong line! We switched the train and got back to Paddington at the very last minute before the train left! We almost missed the train back and that the most exciting part of the trip! We rushed the whole way through with hands full shopping bags and seems like everyone was looking at us! Embarassed moment but it's fun to run through crowded London streets, underground, and railway stations! In this London trip, I just bought a new phone, some clothes and accessories...but time together with my buddies is the most memorable thing!
This is what it will happen for someone who gets too bored and turns insane on train!
