這次過年到義大利出差，剛好換到5天補假，
想說正好延遲五天回來，去個哪裡玩好呢....
想說沒去過，又有興趣的..那就倫敦吧!!
然後愚蠢的事情發生了，我只想到要延遲五天回來，
就想說那就延遲五天從米蘭回來，最後要出發才被老闆提醒，
你沒有直接從倫敦回來啊.........
耶lol....我買了倫敦米蘭來回，所以回程我要從倫敦->米蘭->台北
最後還因為行李過重,只買了Easyjet 20公斤，超重了1.6公斤也要罰錢
只好乖乖拿出來，拿了睡袋在手上..
到米蘭拿到行李才塞回去...
逼唉啊...
Went on a biz trip during Chinese New Year,
so I got 5 days vacation after the CNY...
Uhm.. Where to go? Other places in Europe?....
LONDON CALLING~!
I did many stupid things this time.
One most stupid thing is I forgot to book direct flight from London to Taipei, instead, I did London->Milan->TPE....lol
And I took Easyjet fro London to Milan and with only 20kg luggage,
I was forced to take out my 1.6kg overweight. lol
看到這個廣告超多次的!Time for Taiwan
到底是甚麼Time呢?
總之到倫敦的行程算是相當開心但又相當緊湊，
第一天到倫敦市區就已經下午四五點了，
去了一趟中產階級的有機市場Waitrose，
煮了一餐給好心收留我的友人，
吃了飽飽之後就出發一下去看倫敦的夜晚!
哈哈，而且為了貪圖少坐一趟車還有多看點風景，
坐到Victoria就開始我的走路行程，
不小心走偏了就變成看到大笨鐘了!也算是幸運!
再繼續走到Leister Square、Oxford circus等等，大看了夜晚的倫敦~
Anyway, I did have a great time in London
and it's also a busy time, full of schedule.
First day, arrived in London city, it's already 5pm.
Nice visit to middle class level super market Waitrose,
and cooked a Valentine meal to my dear friend. ;)
Then to see the night of London alllll by myselffff.......
To save one bus ticket, I started to walk after arriving to Victoria,
Not in the way I wanted to, saw the Big Ben and London Eye,
then back to track, Leister Square, Oxford circus!
The best part of London night, not to miss a sec.
完食
第二天則到了V&A博物館，很喜歡這個博物館，
有很多教育的部分，會有影片讓你知道彩繪玻璃、鑽石戒指、瓷器等等怎麼製作的..
比起一般只是欣賞藝術品多了更多教育意義。
非常推薦去V&A博物館，而且中餐也可以在他的cafe一吃，
雖然也是要個10鎊，不過用餐環境真的滿美的，食物也不錯吃，
大推薄荷醬mint sauce，一定要淋一點，配肉吃超合適。
去完V&A，當然一定要去個鄰近的Harrods百貨公司朝聖一下，
如果是單純要逛街..其實也不一定要去啦哈哈~我去了覺得滿難逛的哈
沒錢難逛啊~
我在Harrods最大的收穫就是最後一張照片啦!!
BEEF WELLINGTON!!
有看master chef的應該不陌生，著名英國的威靈頓牛排，
就在Harrods的外帶熟食區裡躺著，
看到就覺得好想吃啊~~
也立刻上網看了倫敦的有這道餐點的餐廳，幾乎都要2x鎊以上，
一個人太不划算了，就決定要帶回家吃!!
住的地方有廚房真是太好了!!
也荼毒了不能吃牛肉的友人哈哈哈
好吃!!!!!!
喔~Harrods賣的威靈頓牛排一百公克好像是五磅、六磅多吧~
因為我吃得少也怕太貴，所以就切了一個薄片，126g吧，七八鎊
它的本體超大一塊的~
在Harrods除了吃到超棒的威靈頓牛排以外，
還買了有著漂亮的盒子的茶葉Earl Grey，
不過回台灣之後就發現新光也有Harrods的櫃點還找到同款茶葉，一模一樣，
只是價錢就貴了快兩倍哈
除此之外Harrods中國風超強烈的，
外面的櫥窗陳列都有濃濃中國味，
畢竟現在中國人的購買力超強，
只要是百貨公司內，幾乎都有會講中文的銷售人員。
以我行程滿檔的作風，逛完Harrods手上有著Beef wellington就是結束了嗎?
當然不是，我立馬又奔向了Piccadilly Circus，去找皇家御用的Fortnum & Mason!!!
到了其實也滿晚的，就是再半小時就關門的狀態!
看了一看，其實就是會精選茶葉跟包裝，
茶葉跟巧克力其實都是各國精選而來的，
還有看到中國精選的烏龍、龍井茶呢!
買完了，就結束了嗎?
一天不是這麼容易的，我又去了隔壁的書局看啊看~
英國的書真的是貴，幾乎都八、九鎊，
看到了之前發現的鼓吹Sustainable Fashion的品牌People Tree創辦人的書Nake Fashion，
推崇要公平貿易跟天然的材料，後來還有緣進入他們辦公室，
請鎖定收看Part 2就會知道囉~~
Second day, V&A museum, LOVE this museum,
very educative, with videos to show you how stained glass,, diamond rings, china...to be made
Very nice, it's better than museum just showing beautiful arts.
Their cafe is also very nice, though it costs around £10,
the food and the environment are quite nice.
Strongly recommend mint sauce, go well with meat.
After V&A, don't forget Harrods is nearby.
uhm..as a department store, I have to admit Harrods not a good one for me.
All too expensive and the traffic diagram are not very easy for customer.
My biggest surprise in Harrods is
BEEF WELLINGTON!!
Any one who saw Master Chef should know this.
It's just in the Food Hall of Harrods.
It cost just £5 or 6 something for 100g,
but in restaurent, the meal costs £26 up!
Of course, I should buy here, and it proves I'm right.
It's soooooooooo delicious!!!
Sadly my dear friend can't eat beef, just smell the terrific smell. ha..
After Harrods, it's the end of the day?
Of course NO!
I went to Piccadilly Circus to search for the royal warranted Fortnum&Mason.
And I found oolong and long jing from China!
Then, I went to the bookstore, Waterstones.
It's a 4 or 5 floors bookstore, how amazing!!
And I found the book Nake Fashion which is written by the founder of People Tree,
a brand cares about the environment, and promote fair trade and Sustainable Fashion.
And I'm luckily have a chance to visit their office.
Wanna know how? Keep an eye on my blog for LONDON trip part 2. :)
XOXO,
Lynn
