    You look like you had a fabulous time in London. If you are still in London and craving for Chinese (HK style), I suggest you go to TPT on Wardour St in Chinatown (tube: Leicester Sq). Check out their Mango and sago dessert. To die for. And just tell them not to add MSG.

    ohh...you're in london now. i would never drive there. the roads are extremely narrow. i was so nervous riding on the double-decker thinking accident is bound to happen. of course the drivers are professionals and we got to our destination without a scratch.

    Sorry to be a creeper, but is that Hello Kitty box in your wardrobe photo a stationary set? I bought a Hello Kitty stationary set in that exact same box, when I was eight...Just wondering.

  48. ManaJanuary 18, 2012 at 9:08 PM

    Omg Harrods!!! Even if I can't afford anything there except macarons I'd love to stand there and smell the expensiveness.....though it might just really smell of tourists and crabby sales people lol Oh and I never thought about not being able to have dim sum! Ah! Though I'm not a huge fan I'd be sad to not be able to "opt" for dim sum whenever I wanted lol Im glad you finally got to have your fill in London! Imagine if you bugged your hubby to go to London all the time just for dimsum hahahaha

    Omg those miumiu pumps are crazyyy!! I think you need to hire men to carry you around on a plush satin cushion while you show off your shoes lol and your flats are darling dear! I think it's one of those rare times for you in flats! Hahaha since I always see you in heels!

    Which boutique hotel did you stay at?
    BTW: all of your destinations in your blog look incredible and make me want to travel all throughout Europe! I am so jealous of your extensive travels! How fun!
