Tube Strike in London....and Outings!!
48 hours without tube.
Of course, I won't be affected, because I either walk or take the bus. BUT, of all times, when I planned my way to the rail station for my Manchester trip, via tube, the strike had to happen.
I remember seeing this headline during the weekend. And I remembered it was suppose to start on Monday. However, I did not understand the whole concept then, nor did I know how long would the strike last.
So, yesterday, finally, I understood it well. And it started in the evening.
I have to take the bus on Thurs! Which will be so hectic because people will be fighting for a place and the whole town will be in such a mess. Why oh why when I want to take the tube (which means spending more) they had to just have the strike?
Oh, by the way, the strike is all about closing down almost the whole tube in London. Can you actually imagine how people are gonna fight for buses just to get to work?
****
Anyways, sister finished her exams (finally) on Monday and Jovy finished hers yesterday. So, we planned to go out for dinner at night. And during the day, sis and I had out little shopping trip (opps, window shopping).
We met in Notting Hill because she had an appointment there earlier of the day. Then, we walked to Oxford Circus. On the way there, we accidentally entered her old neighborhood, the place I lived in during my visit 2 years ago. It felt so nice and familiar. And of course, Hyde Park was just around the corner.
Shopping was alright. Had the opportunity to see and touch many branded bags. I so want to go for a real shopping spree. If only I could.
At night, we went to the place where Jovy was so excited to bring us to for dinner. As we enter the place, we could tell why. It was such an extraordinary place. So different and unique. It's like a double decker bus. So cool!
Food was good. Company was great. 2 non-stress people with alcohol, very fun indeed.
Next stop: Manchester.... Shaw Pei, here I come!!!
