London 1-5

In this backpacking trip, London was the most impressive city among the three cities i visited.




US is very different than UK, London isn't like New York, New York isn't same as London. However, both countries share the same Language - English.

London has given me a sense of "the Great Empire" during the late 19th century. Based on their historical building, infrastructure and the iconic relic from their passed glory of the British Empire, I could see that London was once again the powerful and richest City in the world.

In other words, London was the capital of "the sun never sets on the British Empire".

However, the most interesting things in London was their building. In London, you can see different kind of collections from the world on their building and huge structure. For example, a building with strong British Colonial Style, which you can see in Malaysia.

Don't be panic and feel alienated when you have been London, UK culture and their thinking are quite similar with Malaysia since Malaysia was part of British colony. From the education to political system, many of Malaysia systems were borrowed from British. Most of the time, Malaysia culture won't conflict with their culture, particularly countries from commonwealth.

Besides, you can even enjoyed your decent Malaysian and Singaporean foods in their Shopping malls or in London. In the conclusion, there are some kind of weird relationship between United Kingdom and their commonwealth countries including Malaysia too. Like i say, London was our Mother of Malaysia. hahha..

When i was in London, i felt like i was in some part of Malaysia, may be in Penang or in Seremban town, especially when you stand by the colonial building. But UK weather is not as hot as in Malaysia.

London is "Amazed, Clean, Beautiful, Ordered and Staggering". A place that must go!!

PS: I don't have much time to write day 1 to day 12. I would skip the details. I would rather to conclude my story from city to city. If you are interested in the place, you can pm me or leave me your message. I can give you some advise.

Note: Many of the photo was taken in morning and Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing day. That's why no people on streets. Don't be misunderstanding by the photos.
