Today is Sunday, a verrry lazy day for me. I got out of the house around 1300 and decided to take the bus to Citibank via Oxford Street.
Half of the basi was filled with Filipino amahs on Sunday holiday. They had their kids with them and they looked like they just got out of church and they were talking a lot (gossiping?).
Then they reached their stop and they all got off.
I had a Hong Kong flashback for a minute. Just a minute though.

Some words of advice for those who are reading this and contemplating a visit to London. Learn these words.
Tesco
Sainsbury's
Marks and Spencer
These are grocery stores, cheepest to not so cheep. They also have daily made ready to eat wraps and salads and sandwiches. Since you're taking it to go, there's no VAT, unlike eating in a restaurant. Remember VAT is 14.5% plus usually a 10-12% service charge. Bleech!
If you're going to be here (Dean) and want to watch your spending, this is the best way short of being at a place with a proper stove and oven.
And I've not seen a lot of instant noodles here either...
