Saturday - went down to the London Film and Comic con at Earl's Court with sis, and had a blast! I also got my photo taken with John Landis and Bill Oddie was there! I'll explain in detail, later.

Today - came back home to Walsall yesterday night, and this late morning went down to collect my parcel from

Had it so long ago I can't even remember!

There was like, melon and coconut, mango and something and some others...I decided to have 3 pints of the stuff there and then. At £3 a pop it's a luxury.

LOVE the tapioca beads - wish I could make the stuff at home.

Lucky! I had to dish out £3.60 when I bought it, but oh maaaaaan. Soooo good. :9

Me, too! There's gotta be a way to recreate the love that is bubble tea!

Ha ha; when my sister tried the one I got she decided that she didn't like any of it - the balls included! X3 But I think it's awesome.

As long as you have time and money, London's yer oyster X3 and thankfully I was in no short supply of either one when I went. Everything's so much more expensive than say in Birmingham but it's worth it if you ask me. :D

And man, you get a much better range of Pocky than we do! We only have the choc and strawberry flavours. D:

Let me figure out how to upload pictures from a mobile to a PC, and then we can party! :D

Over here, we get original or Strawberry...the more common ones are the made-in-Thailand variety, and they're not as nice as the Japanese ones. Though the small Japanese restaurant I love so much, Mount Fuji's, has the Japanese Originals and Men's Pocky for sale but they're expensive at 2 pound 10 each. *sigh*

Oh, oh, and this slipped my mind as I was typing, but in London they seem to get the Japanese Pocky on supply okay. But if you go to a comic con anywhere, they've got more varieties of that than anywhere else...when I went to one in Birmingham, they had Choco-banana as well.

The best way to get your Pocky fix it seems, is to order it from online.

Sounds like you really used your time to the fullest for an eventful holiday. Glad you had so much fun! Since sis is there, you should try and make it a regular thing to go visit. (It'll probably help relieve the domestic stresses.)

Never could get into bubble tea myself. The 'tea' is fine, but whenever those slimy tapioca balls would slide down my throat I gag.

The regular visits were exactly what my cousin suggested, too. :D Are you two psychic?

Hee hee; I actually LOVE them X3 I love their size and taste. Mmm...
