Eastbourne

18th July, Monday -- Took an early train to Eastbourne, the southeast part of England. The coast. The seaside.It wasnt a long train ride from London.About an hour and 45 min or so...

The day was really windy.Coz it was by the sea. Windy....seagulls could be heard...walked really, really, really loong to find our guest house at Royal Parade Road. ON the way, met Laura's teacher from her school when she was in England. He said : ' Good Luck looking for that guest house.IT's a long way down.' See?

Our guest house was really comfortable and homely. Each room had a theme of itself. Ours was Regency, while ny sister's were Red. IT was cool.went out to the shopping mall in Eastbourne in the afternoon. Man, there were sales everywhere!!!! It was so much cheaper than Switzerland. Frankly, I think even with the conversion, food is cheaper than Switzerland. Really. Clothes too.Haih...boh lui ah...$$$$

In the evening, went to Victoria Drive to visit Laura's host family when she was an exchange student there. The girls are mega cute! Joanna(10) , Stephie(7@8) and esp Lizzie (5)!! They were really active and were always on the move. Their cute antics made us laugh like mad.Kids! The greatest comidians on Earth! =) spent about an hour and 30 minutes there and then left for dinner.

At night, my sisters went to bed early, but Yueh Chien and I went to the pebbly beach to chit chat while watching the stars.Ahhhh.....It was a starry night. Cold starry night. Cold and windy starry night.
