Student-friendly London

London is a student friendly place. Tickets for plays, when bought on the day itself, allows students to purchurse the best seats available for 25pounds. So i stand to save over 40pounds and still sit near the stage. Plus museums are mostly free. So its great!


Avenue Q. Dialogue is mature, which is why its R21 in SG. 21st century puppetry in a musical. 20pounds.


Wicked. The behind-the-scenes story of the Wicked Witch of the East and Oz. 25pounds.


Many more plays to watch here, next on the list, Les Miserables!
Other than plays, the temperature reached -5 one day. Not the best of experiences even though i'm fully covered. Other than that, the visit to the Tower of London was a blast! (student discounts once again). Its starting to warm up, and i'm really really glad. But, was able to pick up a 100% cashmere sweater at a sale for 40pounds, so it helps with the warmth.
Church at Kensington Temple is great, with a wide range of songs, familiar songs from 'mighty to save' to 'hosanna' to catchy ones like 'we have overcome' by Israel Houghton. During the worship session, the drummer never stops! Nicky will like the drummer here.
Enjoy the photos!

The White Tower (where the King lived, along with his royal zoo)


5pound fish and chips. an entire cod fish, so can't complain. (at least no dory, unlike SG)



Being a public nuisance

Peculiar Armour in archaic times. Jewel Protection is greatly exaggerated.

Tower of London at sunset. (SLR rules!)

Glad that my room is alive and well. alas, the ngoi diaspora is about to come full circle once more.
