LONDON POST '09

FINALLY I got up off my ass and resized and uploaded London photos :)
About 99.999% of these are from my friends' cameras, since I only have a phone camera which keeps running out of memory lmao... and also my computer crashes when I try to access the Pictures folder via the phone-computer cable thing 0_0

Um, anyway yes:



Waiting for our first metro!
The smiles are a bit ironic seeing as we kind of hated using the metro by the end of the trip lolol.
The air conditioning is AWFUL and the whole station is like an obstacle course of people 0__0



MM POLE <3



And here's the lounge of the Youth Hostel, since we got there a bit earlier than check in time



Those books behind us are free to read :)



*Snuggle*



*Watching TV*



HERE BE OUR ROOM, ROOM 25 (Y)
Whole place was suprisingly clean actually.
And there's a kitchen and everything that you can use.
In fact I totally recommend this hotel (/chain of hostels) to anyone wanting to stay in London.
It was abouutttt... 25 pounds for us each night
Astor Hyde Park Hostels <---- there!!



Looks like a proper magazine shoot!



And I just look like a gimp lmao
(2NE1)



The compulsary bathroom photo for the trip



*DON'T HURT ME!*



Slightly melting in the heat.



HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS SHOT OF THE FOUNTAIN???
At Trafalgar Square.
You can't actually feed the pigeons anymore, it's against the law or something like that :(



British Museum. 'Zif we were gonna go inside though >__>



Fountain group photo!



Dunno what this was for. People left money on the flags. Incidentally South Korea had the most money on it!



Traumatic experience. I had to clamber like a freakin slug up that ledge to get to the lion. NO ONE CAME WITH ME and there was people standing around looking >__>



My kind friends laughing at me being unable to get down.



*Exhausted from that*



At Harrods! Surely some people have heard of this before?
SO EXPENSIVE. It actually felt slightly shameful walking around some of the stores in there wearing what we were wearing 0__0
And some of the shoes had 'Do not Touch' next to them LMAO



The food was heavenlyyyy
I THINK this is a giant cupcake? And btw those strawberries aren't real strawberries, they're about 4 times as big as the average strawberry 0__0



The.... something bridge?
GORGEOUS SHOT THOUGH, RIGHT?



Attempted myspace shot whilst being blinded by the sun on said bridge.



The London Eye!
We didn't go on it. It was about 20 quid for a ride and takes about 2 hours to get all the way round >__>



Obama street art omg!



River Thames!



BIG BEN!!!!
loving the dark-foreground-gorgeous-sky-in-the-background-ness of this <3



I think all of the people we asked to take a group photo for us were tourists themselves...



CHINATOWN!
the guy/girl in the white on the left looks like they're floating 0__0'



Food :D



OF COURSE WE HAD TO TAKE PURIKURAAAAAAAAA
The dude at the shop actually knew the girl who took us there. I wonder how many times she's been down here when she came to London in the past 0__0



St Pauls Cathedral!!
If you like buildings I RECOMMEND THIS. It's completely gorgeous and all the other buildings in the area are AMAZING too <3



Front shot!



Another shot from across the bridge
LOOK AT THE GUY ON THE LEFT LMAO. Gettin in there with the peace sign lololol
There were a few pianos in the area, just in the middle of the street with 'Play Me, I'm Yours' on the front... tempting, but there were loads of people around them :/



Oh wait, rewind, BACK at the cathedral, we wandered into the Gardens and found this little random podium.
After wondering for a while what it was for, we decided it'd be a nice group photo oppertunity hahaaa



And suddenly THE MOST ADORABLE BABY CAME UP (i was the one holding the camera at the time)



LOLOLOL THE PHOTO SHOUTS 'AWWWW'



At the Natural History Museum.
ITS DARWIN OMGGGGGGG
Actually pretty good in here. Usually museums bore me badly but this one was more than decent :D



Plus it was a really nice building hahaaa
'Imagine living here and cleaning the place 0__0'



THE GIANT PLANK OF WOOD OWOHAHHHHHHH
I refuse to believe this was from an actual TREE



For any Harry Potter fans:
THIS IS KING'S CROSS STATION.



OMG ITS PLATFORM 9 3/4444444444444444444444444444



Another touristy shot!



DON'T LEAVE US FOR THE WIZARDING WORLD EMILY!



And here're just some random shots.
I nearly wee'd myself seeing this one xDD
Wish I had a camera cause there were loads of these types of clothes at Camden Market.
RECOMMENDED. Good mixture of Touristy shops and cheap clothes market there :D



From when we randomly wandered into a park. Would've stayed longer but we had no idea what time the park closed and I badly needed the toilet.



Tiramisu and Watermelon ice cream!
OMG if you find it, TRY APPLE PIE FLAVOUR IT IS BEYOND FIT.



At a random cafe called 'Giraffe' on High Street Kensington. On the morning of our last day. SO CUTE. Recommended :D



Mucking around with the sauces tray while we waited for food.



A random pigeon which was pecking at leftovers outside a place we had our lunch.



THE MOST GORGEOUS CREAM PUFF EVERRRRRRRRRRR
It reminded me badly of Zettai Kareshi lolol so I got it
From the whole food Market on High Street Kensington. RECCOMENDED.



... I don't know where this came from :|



Last Minute Fail on the last day. We were meant to be clearing out the room and suddenly Tiff  dropped digestives all over the floor LMAO



Getting the sheets together. It's a hostel afterall innitttt



Random shots from the metro.
I don't know what I was doing.



VICTORIA LINE!



:O



Waterloo station!



OMG WHITE BABY GRAND PIANO



Um... Pasta?
Sooo YES, I'm sorry if that killed your internet connection hahaaaa
Glad I didn't stick Prom photos up there too, I'll leave that til next time :D

AND OMGOMG, I'M LEAVING FOR HONG KONG IN ... TWO DAYS? THREE? WEDNESDAY MORNING :D
The heat will kill me. And I'll look like a whale compared to all the HK girls over there, but I can stuff myself all day and still lose weight! (Y) I like ;D

Hope you're all having a wonderful summer! :D

summer time, london
