London - Day 2

17th July, Sunday -- Woke up really early to get to Leicester Square to get cheap musical tickets. Guess what, the cheapest we could find was £36 for Lion King! Anyway, since we were there, I mean, it isnt an everyday thing that I can watch musicals like that (unlike my sisters where they have seen tons), we purchased the tickets.Hor bao chün long...ahahaha

With the tickets securedly in the purse, we proceeded to Trafalgar Square. Climbed up the lions(wasnt an easy task,haha!!!)to take photos. Yueh Chien and I were really touristy, if u know what i mean. Carrying our cameras, taking almost every picture of anything which looked 'foreign'to us...hahha...so touristish....I didnt care coz I paid to be touristish! IT's my Right!!! hahahaa!

After Trafalgar Square, was on the way the see changing of the guards, saw a parade.really formal..dunno some kind of mourning or what lah... the ppl in uniform looked solemn, but the tourists, nah-ah....all with their cameras..flashes flashing away. Went through St. James Park to get to Buckingham Palace. Man, there were tons of ppl everywhere outside the palace grounds!! I mean everyday they'll be tourists crowding outside Buckingham palace, I wonder how the Queen and the Queen's family feel comfortable with more the a 1000 tourists crowding outside their home, clicking away with their cameras...*Click*.....

Standing under the scorching sun till 12, had our sandwiches in Hyde Park. It was lucky for us that the weather was great. Hot, but at least it wasnt too cold or raining. =)Just great for outing!

'Do you believe in God?'
'God is the greatest'
' God is your only life insurance!'
'Believe in God and U'll go to heaven'
'U r meaningless and worthless if u dont believe in God'

Those where the contreversial topics we heard at Speakers Corner.It was better than reality TV! REally! On-lookers 'argued' or rather had 'loud discussions' with those ppl standing on small ladders voicing out their minds....hehe...it was really entertaining =P One guy told us that he comes every week to listen to them speak. Just for the entertainment... hehehe...ppl argued with the concept of God. I wonder if we had a Speakers Corner in Msian, lao zao they will be put in jail-without trial!!! Hahahahaha....they'll be counted as extremists @ terrorists!!! hahaha =P

I was really, really looking 4ward to the next programme.The Lion King Musical at Lyceum Theatre.IT started at 3pm.Oh my god! The starting already took my breath away!The songs, the music, the costumes, the props were simply marvelous!!!! REally there are no words to describe it except for watching it. Seriously. I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE MUSICAL! EVERY SINGLE SECOND!!! IT definitely was worth the ticket. The story was exactly like the Disney cartoon, all the lines were same too! The props and costumes were definitely a thumbs up. No. Not a thumbs up. More than a thumb's up.IT was TERRIFIC!

After Lion King, went to Big Ben, Westminster Abby, Parliament House again. THis time, without my sisters. Touristy time starts!! *Click*

At night, went to Leicester Square again for dinner. This time had Pizza Buffet for £5.99. No wonder the Swiss are so much more in shape and fitter compared to the English. They are no buffets here in Switzerland! NO offence to any English ppl....

Went to bed as every1 was alreaday tired from the day's walk. Guten nacht.
