This day I iced biscuits for the Biscuiteers.
I was mainly coloring in the First Aid Tin Collection.

Just before I left the kitchen, they gave me a biscuit that wasn't good enough to make it to the customers but still cute.

Then I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum to waste some time so I won't be bored for the rest of the day.
Gotta say the cafeteria was very impressive.

And since the weather was so nice, everyone's sun bathing in the museum's court yard.

M&M World

M&M World was recommanded by Chris brother.
So we decided to go visit.

Before going, we thought we would have dinner first.
It is very close to China town, so we decided to have Chinese food.
However, the whole Chinese food experience for me was just too disappointing.
I couldn't find anything I like, or things that I usually order on the menu here.
And apparently fried seaweed + fried prawn toast are the must haves in London's Chinese restaurants.
But you will find the fried seaweed are fake.
In order words... fried seaweeds are not made of real seaweed but fried dark green lettuce in threads.
I found it so funny! People are too scared to try real seaweed, yet wanting something oriental...

After the super disappointing experience to chinese restaurant, we walked to M&M.
It's 4 floors, selling everything related to M&M, from clothes to stationaries. You can also mix your own M&M chocolates. But it's a place that probably only tourists go to.
Here are some pictures.

After M&M it was already 10pm, but we crave for ice cream, so we walked to the Haagen Daz.
I had the resberry / hibiscus green tea / browny limited special edition :D

Today I had fun working in a kitchen studio help with the making of macarons and selling it in a market.


And this is our stall, working with Ben, who is very very good sales men and talking non-stop...lol

It's a very friendly market. Apperently people who work in the market gives discount to each other. And Ben introduced me to this Spainish guy who sells paela. The Spainish guy gave me a bow for free!


It's really interesting experience working in the market, especially when surrounded by nice people and nice weather~

Life in London has been relaxing so far.
I have been going out for brunch every day.
Checked out the apartment.
Went shopping. Topshop on Oxford Street was impressive.
Played mini golf.
Looked for furnitures in IKEA.

+

Some cultural shocks:
1. All Chinese restaurants have french fries on their menu.
2. There are pizza restaurants (Pizza Express) where people eat pizza with knives & forks.
3. People still order "breakfast" at noon time.
4. In Chris' town there are tons of real estate agents & charity shop & cafes (we like cafes :D)
5. It's common to divide big houses into apartments.

Tomorrow my first job interview! I am excited:]
