We left Singapore on the 1st July evening flight... From Singapore transit to Thailand, then to London... Didnt get to explore the airport as Winfield's Aunty Ping and her hubby Uncle Noel came to pick us up at the airport...
Went straight to their home and had English breakfast... Bacon, eggs, sausages, bread and baked beans... At about 1200 hrs London time, we went to take a tube to change to another train(Eurostar) to Paris... We reached Paris and took the metro to our service apartment... Spent 4 nights there... There was a supermarket nearby where we stayed and our daily bfasts & dinners came from there... The area wasnt really safe at nite as there are always a group of youngsters loitering downstairs and heavy police patrol...

The SNCF train was not in service when we reached the station and was told to walk to the next station... Rush down for mass but missed the English one as there was an accident involving humans on the track... We got delayed for about an hour while we changed to metro halfway.... Eventually, we didnt attend mass as it was in French and we have to rush back to the supermarket to buy dinner and next day's bfast...

Hehe... more updates... Time here is 2022hrs... Singapore time 0322hrs... I am now sitting in the Bed & Breakfast place we are staying at, Fairway Hotel in London... It is situated near a train station so it is pretty packed... Wifi here is oso FREE... hahaha...
Went to Madame Tussauds right after we checked in hotel... Some miscomm happened and instead of going in at 1530hrs we went in about 1630hrs... The place is closed at about 1800 hrs... We didnt get to see the one closed section as well as the horror section as the queue was really long...
Supposed to go Harrods for shopping but me and Winfield came back instead... I was quite tired after the walk... Plus, we spent too much in Paris & Glasgow and so we decide not to join the rest...
Talk a bit more about our trip from the beginning in the next blog....

Blogging onboard the train from Scotland to London... Lucky tis is a free wifi ... We have been trying to get online for the past 2 weeks... Wireless here is EXP!!!... Rains all the time in Paris... Time in Scotland is so much better... At least there is no strong sunlight and strong icy wind blowing at the same time... Scotland is only cold, some pple complains gloomy but is so much better... We tried different kind of transports over here...
Will try to upload all the photos when i am back in Singapore... I miss Singapore... Food, Family, Friends... All we ate in Paris is BREAD, BREAD and more BREAD... other than bread, there is only cold ham and cheese... No other types of meat... Super sian... then when we were in Scotland, there is chinese food but mostly FISH & CHIPS... i still tink Fish & Co taste so much better.... At least they are not fishy smell... I had never taken so much potatoes in my life... in the form of fries & chips... Since we move around a lot, there is no time for proper meals other than packet chips that we can get from M&S that's around everywhere...
Now we are on the way to London for the last week of our journey... 3 days of rushing... Hehe.. then i will be back to Singapore... Try to tok more in future blogs... From the start till when i get back...
