kenapa lak ur friend kata crabtree utk o ...
my friend to otak tak betul sikit! haha..just based on her observation & her local media reviews! hehe alaa kalau you suka beli je lah!
bukan shelf brands je yg murah, yg counter2 yg brand luxe pun mahal. cuma byk choice je lah, kan? but bear in mind, their skin requirements tak sama dgn kita so baik kita beli formulated specially for asian skins kan?
kat Stoke yg jual royal albert tu dia jual chinas yg baru or yg dated as far as early 1900s ? I dah survey sikit history china makers nih & patern2 dia.. in my opinion chinas yg category victorian, edwardian or those in the late 18th century paling lawa. for collectors, these chinas cuma boleh dpt from anitique stores, markets or if you're lucky, car boot sale! hehe

sebenarnya hanya berapa percent jer rakyat msia berpeluang berkunjung ke London compare dgn bangkok, jakarta, perth....disebabkan harga tiketnya yg mahal melampau, begitu gak dgn kos penginapan & makanan. tiap2 tahun harga flight ticket ke UK akan naik begitu byk. begitu jugak dgn airport taxnya....contohnya masa aku pergi UK pd tahun 2005, airport tax was about rm300 shj, tapi pd tahun 2006 dah naik jadi rm720 (angkara peningkatan kos security di airport).
BTW, sesapa yg nak melawat kota London maybe patut tau serba sedikit sejarah monument2 & tempat2 yg you all kunjungi di London.
Contohnya Tower Bridge (ramai yg silap sangka inilah London Bridge). Bridge ni dibina more than 100 years ago hasil pertandingan membuat jambatan oleh pihak berkuasa London. Masa tu Thames river amat sibuk dgn keluar masuk kapal dagang. So, sebanyak 50 design jambatan dihantar utk pertandingan rekacipta ini yg mesti memenuhi kepeluan keluar masuk kapal2 di Thames river especially semasa pembinaan jambatan. Sejak 1894 jambatan ni menggunakan tenaga wap, hanya pd 1976 baru tukar kpd tenaga electric. Kejadian paling menakjubkan pernah berlaku di jambatan ini ialah bila London Bus yg terkenal itu secara tak sengaja melompat di antara jambatan sewaktu ianya terbuka. Dulu2 laluan pejalan kaki bahagian atas dibuka utk awam tapi kini tidak lagi sebab tak ramai yg menggunakannya (sekarang dah jd tempat pameran, nak masuk kena bayar).
Istana Tower of London:
Istana ni terletak betul2 di sebelah Tower Bridge. Istana ni di bina kira2 1000 tahun yg lepas oleh raja William The Conqueror dari Perancis yg menyeberang selat Inggeris dgn bala tenteranya & berjaya menakluk England. William The conqueror juga dikenali sebagai William The *****. Pasal apa dia dipanggil The ***** aku pun tak tau. Sebenarnya pd masa tu England diperintah oleh sepupu kpd William The conqueror, sepupu dia janji nak serahkan pemerintahan England kpdnya tapi telah mungkir janji. Sebab sepupunya mungkir janji, maka William The Conqueror hantar bala tenteranya dari Perancis menakluk England. Keturunan dia ni la yg memerintah England hingga hari ini. Istana ni tak pernah berjaya dicerobohi oleh musuh raja England kerana sistem pertahanannya yg amat berkesan kerana di kelilingi kubu DRY MOAT, iaitu sistem parit kering yg membentuk kubu berkembar yg sangat berkesan menghalang serangan musuh. Sapa2 yg berani yg masuk dlm DRY MOAT, sudah pasti akan kena panah dgn pengawal2 dari atas menara. Bagaimana pun, iaitu sewaktu pemberontakan besar-besaran oleh golongan petani England, sistem pertahanan istana ini tergugat. Ramai pegawai2 istana yg dibunuh sewaktu pemberontakan tersebut. Istana ini juga pernah menyaksikan pemaisuri England bernama Mary (isteri kpd King Henry) dihukum pancung krn melahirkan anak perempuan. Kepercayaan orang England bhw roh Mary ni masih merayau2. Sebab tu sampai hari ni kalau ada golongan yg main permainan 憇pirit |

Salam & Hi Shahgti...
I learned quite a lot about London from this fruitful topic. Thanks to you and all forumers for sharing your experience about London. Tapi I ada satu soklan bonus, dari segi keselamatan dan jugak the DOs & DON'Ts bagi Solo Women Traveller yg nak venture London within a day trip. Reason being, I am flyin to LHR this Sunday due to some work to be done @ our HQ in Havant. But since my work starts Tues to Thursday and Friday depan I dah balik, I was thinking I mesti jugak make a day trip out to London this coming Monday. I have some other Msian colleagues there, but it so happened that meka bekerja that day and lagipun meka dah pun explore London, jadi nak tak nak.. I kenalah explore sendirian, otherwise mmg merugikan sangat nanti. A rough background about me: I'm in my early 40s (but I don't look my age a.k.a nampak younger), married, wear Tudung, medium size and I memang quite independent & energetic type. Purpose I ke London is more of sightseeing and picturing its historical buildings, monuments and landmarks. Shopping tak fokus sgt kerana it's xpensive to shop in London dan lagipun I can easily shop at outlets di Gunwharf Quays @ Southsea, nearby the place where I'm going nanti. I agak suka tang meng'capture' shots using my Canon Ixus nih so that I can add on to my vacation pic collection. I dahpun fokus my targeted areas to visit and I sudahpun dapat some train and underground map info from my UK colleagues. I pun ada jugak baca reviews on Solo Women Traveller dari forum Tripadvisor and so far I baca so good lah comment nya tapi none of them is Msian/Asian I rasa. Jadi, I thought it'd better for me to get comments from you and other forumers esp ladies about keselamatan dan the DOs & DON'Ts for Women Solo Traveller in London. Any tips/hints would be most appreciated.
Thanking you in advance....... |

nak senang, naik tour bus, ada 2 mcm shah ckp, one is London Original TOur & another The Big Bus tour (rasanya lah) kalau sorang no problem. But i think the Original Tour murah sikit & beli tiket online can save you a few pounds. sorang je, no problem. tapi kalau nak adventurous, naik public red bus tu lah. List down the places you want to go, bring a map, & ready for your adventure. Kalau nak save time, naik je lah tour bus tuh! forget about being adventurous!
Shah! I rasa baik you jadi tour guide kat London lah! hahah.. i rasa most women kat sini yg pergi London asyik cite shopping je.. am i right ladies? bukannya apa,. kitorg suka visit historical places & monuments tapi tak pernah ambik tau cite! sebabnya, kitorg boleh refer you aje kat forum ni! pergi melawat sbb sibuk ambik gambar..
dulu, i ikut tour Europe, tour guide sibuk explain, i managed to concentrate whate he's saying for 10 mins the most. pastu i got distacted by the people (ahem.. ahem...) sibuk tgk org, sibuk tgk spot2 yg cantik utk ambik gmbr.
speaking of ambik gmbr, korang pernah tak rasa tak puas hati or bengang bila korang ambik gmbr org lain cantik tapi org tu ambik gmbr kita tak cantik.. my husband is a very bad photographer. pasal tu asyik aku je yg ambik gmbr anak2 & gmbr dia & anak2. Kawan dia ambik gmbr aku & family pun tak lawa sgt.  i wish my brother ada sama. He takes excellent pictures! |

Thanks Adnil, Shah, Muslyn & My-Alja.. InsyaAllah i'll take your advice. I pun terasa bus tour lebih sesuai for me in order to save time and to avoid berjalan sorang2. Cuma I takut borink dengar tour guide merepek bnyk nanti dan jugak prob nak amik pic if duk tingkat bwh. Masa book ticket, leh request seat ker ek?
BTW, my pic shots okaylah jugak untuk woman category like me. I jenis suka amik gambar, so kkdg gambar tong sampah pun if cantik kat mata i.. I akan amik gak. Pic my hybby & son pun okay suma I amik... No complaints so far. I jenis suka appreciate nice and creative shots, hence I terus tackle and improve that skill lah.. Kat flickr ada some nice london shots, yg nampak unik!
Once again.. thanks 2 all. Still not too late for more tips if u hv. My other colleague kata bebaik sana bnyk peragut bag, so kena jaga2.. coz dia pernah kena it seems. Maybe kat underground kot tu.. |

tu lah yg i suspense sikit esp i jln2 dgn 2 org budak, leka,..pelbagai, nak bwk camera pun takut! mujur lah the weather was cold so i wore my pea coat over my handbag,. susah sikit lah kalau ada org nak 'meraba' mencuri. I didn't even bring my purse. All cash & mobile tucked in my jeans pocket. bila kerluarkan duit nak byr, keromot2 je.. heheh.. lagi pun, diorg punya duit besar sgt! tak muat purse. apa lah pergi buat duit sz besar2..
speaking of snatch thiefs, ada one night at Edgware Rd, kitorg tgh dinner kat cafe tepi jln, suddenly ada org approach my husband, "excuse me, are you moslem?" husband replied "yes". Then the man said "be careful of your computer bag!" "thank you". he left. We went speechless. My husband pun tarik lah beg dia closer to him. Actually, dia bukan letak beside him yg menghadap jln. dia letak dekat dinding kedai lah, couple of inches from him. Then, we were wondering, kalau dia jawab kat mamat tu, "no" apa agaknya dia akan buat?
ada forumer ckp pasal org mintak derma around the streets, mmg betul! i dah terkena byk kali. Once ada pompuan, half-tudung, dukung anak, bg salam kat I,.. mintak sedekah,. utk dia & anak dia, nak beli food, milk etc,.. i pun kesian, bg lah
1 pound. pastu dia mintak lagi! aiishh..lebih pulak pompuan nih.. so i walked away quickly. Then, I dgn friend jln2 at Oxford
St, ada pulak 'pakcik black' in jubah, dok preach kat kitorg pasal Jews in UK tindas british muslims etc.. so dia mintak derma to help blind muslim children & sekolah diorg.. etc.. i bg lah 1 pound jugak. well, utk derma2 tepi jln takut nak bg byk2,.. takut tipu ke apa.. dia boleh jawab, "only 1 pound, sister?" Nak je aku jawab "i give more, i might end up like you asking for money to pay for air ticket to get home". A couple of days later, i saw him again at the same place! So, hati2 lah ye.. tapi kat Oxford, Bayswater & Edgware Rd mmg ramai mintak sedekah, or what it seems like mintak sedekah. So take care of your belongings. paling selamat is to put your cash in your pockets. Dlm tube tu pun be careful.
Again, for female solo traveller,.. if you're young (or look young), attractive, ada possibility kena ikut dgn pak arab. Don't panic, esp kalau jln2 watu siang. (avoid jln2 at night). Analyse the situation. Kalau 'stalker' tu hensem (hehehe...) bagi je lah chance dia ngorat sikit! hahahah.. Jgn sombong sgt and jgn friendly sgt. Kalau takut, masuk je kedai2 mana. Kalau kedai baju pompuan lagi bagus. Supermarket pun ok. I feel, kalau kita tunjuk kita takut & panic, lagi diorg boleh intimidate you. the most important thing is to show self confidence & tak takut any form of intimidation. Bukannya apa, maybe he finds you attractive & nak berkenalan je.. if you're single, tak pe lah kan! so, you judge yourselflah. I bukan menggalakkan nak 'menggatal' cuma just a little bit of fun wont harm you. For eg, my friend hari tu, pergi British Museum sorang2, then ada 2 org ala2 Afghanistan ikut dia.. then diorg bg salam. Pastu tny dia wether she's studying in London ke apa.. dia ajak pergi minum kut!.. tapi my friend ni penakut. 1st thing i asked her " hensem ke tak?"
"hensem, sis!"
"dah tu, apsal tak berkenalan je? there;s no harm pergi minum. you can go to starbucks! ramai org! nak takut apa!? just sembang2 biasa.. it's good to have contacts in many different countries! if he's worth a frienship, can gv your business card."
"eeii.. i takut lah"
