London (circa January 2008)

London - city of sex, dancing, shopping, style, and drugs

What an intro! What more can you ask for. Not much of a post today as I barely took pictures of food while I was there. And more importantly, I didn't even try any of the local cuisines. I know, lame but I'm sure I'll be back there soon and I will for surely try the local food next time.

In the meantime, I am missing everything in London today. I'm sure it's cold there right now, but I miss the people, the shopping (although its super expensive), and the style. It's my second favorite city in the world!



If you ever visit, I bet you would miss these too:







Tracey Neull - great shoe display. Too bad everything in there was more than 300 pounds...







Camden - the punkish area of London. My friend said you don't want to go there at night by yourself, but during the day, this place is just fun.





People of London - As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, a part of my job is to seek trends in the global market place. London was a perfect place for it. People loved to get their pictures taken. The people I captured in my camera had this innate attitude that they are IT. They own the city because they look good.









This guy was the most interesting guy I took a picture of. When I asked him if I could take his photo, he said only if I pay him. I said no. Then he let me take his picture then asked "will you get tea with me?" in which I replied by thanking him and walking away.



Lastly, this is the only shot I got of food.


Tapas!!! Not sure what the place is called but it was on/near Marylbone High. It was amazing to say the least.


Maybe next time I go to the UK I will have myself a spotted dick...
