London.. one last time!

This weekend is officially the LAST weekend I'll be in England! I can't believe how fast 8 weeks/2months have passed since I first arrived. It's amazing how time flies! Even though I'll miss the England fashion, the afternoon teas, and the convenient transportation, nothing beats home! I can't wait to spend time with my family and Kevin, but most of all to get good food!

Today a bunch of us went to London.
We hit Portobello Market, where 2 miles of a road is set up with antique vendors, fruit vendors, and vintage clothing vendors. It was cool to experience the market places again.


After that.. Some of us split up to do our own things. Me, my sis, and Phil went to Camden town. There we saw Stable market again and all the markets around there. We also had afternoon tea again!

I had the best tea ever at the best tea shop!
I'm officially making Lemon Sherbet Tea + honey my favorite tea
in the whole world!


After killing time with afternoon tea, we went to Chinatown. The Chinatown was super small and it seemed like there was nothing much going on except places to eat. We walked around to see the buffets. We walked around to compare prices too. There was a buffet for L8.90.. we would walk again and saw a buffet for L8.50. The best one we saw was L5.80.. until we saw across the street a buffet for L4.95. It's funny how it got cheaper and cheaper as if to win our money.. We decided on eating the L5.80 buffet. From the outside, the sign looked legit and nice, the food looked tasty under the display light, and it was crowded. Number one rule.. Check if the place is crowded.. that means it should be good. It turned out that the food was no bueno. Everything was greasy and fried. The food wasn't authentic either because they served onion rings! So funny! The whole experience was fun though. We cleansed our palate with Legit taro milk tea. The taro milk tea made going to Chinatown worth it. (;

Last weekend in England is not over yet. Tomorrow is Arudel Castle!
