There are about 6 very famous theme restaurant in London, as a vet student, I would like to make all my life related to animals, thus I chose the Rainforest Cafe  as the place to have my birthday meal. All my friends are excited.  There are two floors in the cafe, the ground floor have a lot of toys to sell, but they are free access, we have taken lots of pictures with cutie animals there. The basement level is the proper restaurant, and both floors are decorated like a real rainforest.  It doesn't matter how old you are, you can still be a child:) While we are eating, sound of rainstorm was played frequently, made it feel like we are really in the rainforest somehow. Then the waiter asked me standing on a chair, asked all others in the cafe singing Happy Birthday to me! So impressing!  Next stop! If you come to London, how can you manage to miss the Shard? We went to the Shard Bar located at 31st floor, aerially viewing the part of London along...

Oh I just can not believe it is almost the end of this year's ambassador event. I have learnt so much from all the meetings, so as my English. And on 11th of June, all the ambassadors met up at the 2 more London Riverside Building , talked to visitors from all over the world, about the student collage life in London. I arrived there earlier for helping arranging the reception and meeting room, and the harp at the corner will be played in the meeting took all my attention.   Although I have not played harps before, the knowledge from piano helped me quickly sort out simple songs from the harp. Another two ambassadors worked together with me to arrange the reception, making sure all visitors coming in will have a certificate. Really stressful! Very surprisingly, although I have not prepared what to say at all, any detail about my lovely days in my Royal Veterinary Collage and London just came out automatically from my mouth, or, my heart. I can't stop telling vis...

I would better warn everyone first, if you are tourists, waiting for boarding and taking pictures by the same time, be careful about these guys dressed up fancily, they will force you to take pictures with them and charge you at least one pound per person. Really bad. Luckily my very nice Indian friend Sabee, paid for helpless me. Then forget about unpleasant things, get life jacket on, after the safety introduction from coaches, we got onto the Thames Jet , which is a fast yacht. Slow sightseeing is taken first alongside the river, of the London Eye, the Elizabeth Bell and the Palace of Westminster.  After off the busy area, the yacht started to speed up amazingly, get very bouncy and it looks like we are jumping in the river all the time. Very exciting and satisfying. The best thing I enjoyed the most being an ambassador in LUIP is making so many friend from everywhere all over the world. Meeting friends in an old and traditional British cafe, The Barrowboy & Ban...

We have had an amazing day yesterday on the top floor of Fortnum and Mason, the oldest department store of UK.  The head quarters is located at 181 Piccadilly, where as it was established in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason. It is recognised internationally for its high quality goods as an iconic British symbol(Wikipedia). The main focus of the store is variety of exotics. Large but amazing indoor changing has been made since year 2004. It look now completely different indoors. Spiral stairs run though the atrium of the store, making customers easily recognise how many floors they have, and the amazing but unique goods on each floors. Sitting with being suprised, I started looking around. Everything look rally British and traditional: the velvet curtains, the hand made carpet, china tableware arranged in traditional order. The services are extremely experienced and behave just like the way being done traditionally. I have to remind me several times t...

Before coming to study in London, I have read a lot of magazines,watched quite a few programs about street styles. And I really admire the models who are pictured in modern cities. However, after coming to London, I found out you can basically take pictures of street style everywhere here in any season! It doesn't matter where you are in London, the backgrounds will never let you down. Isn't that awesome? Make yourself a street model this time! Don't forget to dress up every time you are out! Brookman's Park Station Liverpool Street Station King's Cross Station before Christmas Russel Square Garden A shop I forgot it's name: P Joy Cloth Shop on Oxford Street (By the way, I love dresses in Joy, they are amazing. But come to there when it has discounts, otherwise the clothes will be too expensive) The Palace of Westminister Covent Garden Covent Garden China Town in Chinese Spring Festival London Bridge ...

Aww! Apologize for being busy and not blogging for a while! You know being a vet student means you need to work even in your holidays. Now it's time to introduce our lovely visit to the Tower of London.The full name of it is called " Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress". Sitting at the north bank of the River Thames, it was built in 1078 by William the Conqueror, was used as a prison until 1952, although that was not its primary purpose. In early history, it was served as the royal residence. And nowadays,the Tower of London has become one of the most attractive visiting place in UK. And there was a nice ice skating square built underneath it-- that was where we visited and had fun skating. The weather was so pretty and sunny that day (thanks London),everyone got excited when we started changing skating shoes.Luckily I was born in the coldest part of China and learnt how to skate since I was born, I jumped onto skating square as soon as I say it. ...
