8 days tourat last. wanling has left london today and my 8 days hosting has ended. it is time for a good rest. the distance i walked in these 8 days can compare to the distance i walked during my 2 months of exam preparation period. haha... well at least i can now manage to wear one of my jeans. as for the other one... i still dare not try it on. >_<
hmm... the most interesting part of my 8-days 'tour' was the buckingham palace. after changing our mind a few times whether to go watch the changing of guards, we went for it and were amazed by the thousands of people who were there. there were even police on horses in the park next to the palace for ppl to take picture with! how free they were!! and finally after seeing a BBC van and some cameras and microphones hanging around, we came to the conclusion tat smtg impt was happening, but as to what it could be, we had not got a clue. heehee...
after waiting for an hr, we saw the marching of the guards, on feet and on horses, the military band, and the horse carriages carrying i cant-see-who. it was only by eavesdropping the people standing next to me that i realized that they were the Princes and Princesses and the Queen herself!!! *gasp* there were also the cannon gun salute in Green Park, the kind we would have during National Day! wOw~
yeah... it was only after we went back that we found out that it was the Queen's birthday. haha.. how lucky and sotong we were! =P
