This is at a departmental store called Liberty London right on Regent St. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love the flowers outside the store and to be honest, I passed by this store just to get the shots above and below.</div>

This is the Cereal Killer Cafe on Brick Lane in Shoreditch area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It actually took us a while to find it because there isn't a huge signboard outside but look at all these amazing cereals!</div>

I ordered the Unicorn Poop which was £4.80 (I know, it's ridiculous for a bowl of cereal but I keep telling myself it's a one time thing so that's fine)<br />
I feel like it was a bit too sweet for me but give it a try anyway if you're there!<br />

Ending this post with one of my favourite pictures of this trip. Was waiting so long for a family to leave the area then this guy came and wouldn't leave too. Oh well, I guess it'll have to do.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I also want to point out that second year of university is starting for me tomorrow and I may or may not have the time to update this blog as frequently as I would like so bear with me.<br />

As this post goes up, I'd be flying over Italy en route to London. I'm back in UK for another year of studies and adventures. Today's post is dedicated to the time I spent my first Christmas and New Years in a foreign land, or more specifically, LONDON. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, shoutout to Hui Si and Jia Wen for being such great hosts during my time in London. To many more lamb chop adventures to come! </div>

Seeing these photos makes me excited for the festive season already!<br />
<br />
Tip: if you're planning to be in London during this festive season, plan your journey well.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Tickets for the best spot to catch the fireworks (Embankment area) always sell out <b>fast</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's £10 a piece so be sure to keep an eye out for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. There is no public transport running during Christmas Day. Most shops will also be closed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Some activities such as the ice-skating rink at Winter Wonderland or Somerset House needs booking in advance to avoid disappointment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Shops open at 12 midday on Sundays and close at 6pm (this is basically year round)</div>

Today we walk down a memory lane to exactly a year ago where I visited London for the first time. Since young, it has always been a dream to see this city.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ah how time flies! Even if it has been a year since then, I still remember my travels clearly because each photo has a different story to tell, and by that I mean the photographer's feelings when the shot was taken, or what they saw just before/after the shot was taken or what inspired the shot.</div>

Went to see some sea stacks and rocks more than a month ago at Bako National Park, Sarawak. We first took a boat to the other jetty. There isn't much of a story to tell about but mostly pictures. </div>

We then took another boat ride around the sea stacks. There is also an option to hike and the option to choose different routes. Each route has a different distance that leads to a different area/beach.<br />

Our boat back to the main jetty ran out of gas midway. It would've been more of a laugh except that there were warnings of a crocodile spotted by the river not to mention the boat was rocking from side to side. We were saved, of course, by another boat which brought the gas.<br />

Our travels continued from Switzerland to no other than Paris, the city of love! From Geneva, our train took 3 hours before pulling up at Gare de Lyon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We followed another free walking tour which was great because not only was it easier for us to make our way around ourselves after that but we did learn many things about Paris! From the many kings and the famous emperor Napoleon Bonaparte to different types and meaning of Equestrian statues (statues of the famous person on a horse), it was all very interesting.</div>

Before I left for this trip, I found out that they were going to remove all the locks from Pont des Arts, the famous love lock bridge. I was so so disappointed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture is taken at Pont Neuf and according to the tour guide this was the 'new love lock bridge'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It isn't as full of locks as the other one yet but it sure would be as time goes.</div>

From the bridge we walked to Musée du Louvre / The Louvre or better known as the museum that houses the Mona Lisa painting. Entrance tickets were £15 each which we got from the tour guide's manager so that we didn't have to join the ridiculously long queue!</div>

The Luxor Obelisk at Place de la Concorde. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a gift from Egypt to France and has a twin which presently stands at the entrance of Luxor Temple in Egypt. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place de la Concorde used to be where people were punished by guillotine. If you don't know what a guillotine is, it is an apparatus designed for carrying out executions by beheading.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Queen Marie Antoinette were one of the famous people to be punished by this painful way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, according to the tour guide he said that the last person to be executed by guillotine was the inventor himself.</div>

This is Jardin des Tuileries, the famous public park between The Louvre and Place de la Concorde. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It got its name from where tile factories used to stand on that site.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Personally I dreaded walking through the park for the second time because although it was nice, it was so so sandy which resulted in turning my shoes white. My shoes were dark blue, mind you.</div>

The famous chunk of metal, Eiffel Tower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It isn't a trip to Paris without this shot right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This tower was actually built to be placed at the entrance of the 1889 World's Fair (since they didn't have the internet, the world met at a place once every few years). At that time, many Parisians found it to be an eyesore. After the World's Fair, they planned to scrap it but in the end opted to save it after recognising it as a radiotelegraph station. Today, it is still used as a radiotelegraph station and every year, the surface of this whole structure is coated with anti-corrosion coating.<br />

The Notre-Dame Cathedral.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This cathedral was where the coronation of kings took place, one of which was the famous Napoleon Bonaparte. He was given the title 'Emperor' instead of 'King' simply because he crowned himself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The coronation process was simple; walk down the church aisle, kneel before the Pope only then the Pope will bless and crown the next king. Only that Napoleon refused to kneel and instead he took the crown from the Pope and plopped it straight onto his head. Everyone in the church was shocked of course and expected the Pope to punish Napoleon but he was given the title 'Emperor' instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was also talks of this cathedral close to being destroyed but Victor Hugo's 'The Hunchback of Notre-Dame' book managed to sway the decision. Apparently, Victor disguised the cathedral as the 'hunchback' character where even though he was not so handsome outside, he was beautiful inside.</div>

Our final stop in Switzerland was Geneva. From Lucerne, we took a 3 hour train ride (the one with the prettiest of views). Seriously though, it's got mountains, it's got lakes instead and sights that gives you shivers down the back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In Geneva, French is spoken instead of Swiss German because it is situated close to the border of France and Switzerland.</div>

On the day we arrived, the weather was extremely hot so there were a lot of people swimming or boating in the lake.</div>

Instead of walking across the lake through the bridge, people could take the yellow taxi boat called Mouettes. We managed to take it for free because we had a transport card given by our hotel.</div>

What would a visit to the land of the mountains be without visiting a mountain? I think of all the places I visited in Switzerland, Mount Pilatus was my favourite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To get there, we first took a train from Lucerne's train station to Alpnachstad. The train ride took about 20 minutes. From Alpnachstad, we then took the world's steepest cogwheel up. </div>

There was also an option to hike up. Hiking up would most probably take 4 hours and another 3 hours downhill. On the way up, we saw quite a number of people hiking. One even brought his 2 dogs on the hike!</div>

Mount Pilatus is known as a dragon's lair because in the medieval times, it was said that a dragon lived on this mountain. The legend was that people have tried to kill this dragon but no one has ever succeeded.</div>

Tiny people in big places.<br />
<br />
We then took a gondola (which was something like a cable car, not the one like in Venice) and a cable car down from the peak to a village called Kriens where we took a bus back to Lucerne.<br />
<br />
Would love to explore other mountains when I visit Switzerland again! I'd definitely make a trip back here. Switzerland is absolutely too beautiful.<br />

This is the famous Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrücke in German. It is Europe's oldest wooden covered bridge. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you walk on it, each structure of the bridge above is filled with paintings dating back to 17th century. The whole bridge is lined with flowers on both sides. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This bridge comes out to the Old Town of Lucerne. It is somewhat similar to the one in Zurich where colourful buildings have paintings that show who lived there during the early days. Compared to Zurich, the paintings in Lucerne cover nearly the whole part of the building and are more outstanding.</div>

I absolutely cannot get enough of this view! We sat by the lake after dinner watching the sun go down while eating ice-cream.<br />

This is Mount Pilatus, the building in front of it is the train station where we arrived.<br />
<br />
Believe it or not, I stood at the highest peak of this very mountain the next day.<br />

The view from one of the bridges overlooking Limmat River. The two towers make up the Grossmünster church. It was a monastery church and originally, the towers were made of wood which were then destroyed in a fire. It was then replaced with a neo-Gothic influenced design (present one). The locals didn't like the design at first and according to the tour guide, they nicknamed the towers as 'salt and pepper dispensers'. </div>

The clocktower with the pointed roof is no other than the Fraumünster church. It is situated directly opposite the Grossmünster church. This church was a gift from Louis II to his daughter and at that time, this church was only open to women.<br />
<br />
Inside the church, there are 5 stained glass designed by Marc Chagall. Each piece has a different dominant colour and depicts a Christian story. According to the tour guide, instead of signing his name on the stained glass to mark his work, Marc painted his face onto it.<br />
Sadly, photo taking is not allowed inside.<br />

It was a rather steep climb and I have to admit, by the time I got to the top I was out of breath.</div>

After the tour ended, we walked back to the Grossmünster church to explore the crypt and also, the tour guide mentioned that it was well worth to go up the tower of the church to get the whole view of Zurich. It was CHF 4 per entry but I had a student discount so it was CHF 2! </div>

The climb up was of 187 steps and were really steep, narrow, winding and dark. </div>
