yes as said it was realy great and the shopping was amazing, and I only went there with 40 pounds, and I buyed so much, even a lollipop from harrods, earings, nailpolish, and all souvenirs for my family realy great :)
Yes we saw them everywher ein the metrostation small ones and that big one we saw every morning and eve as we walked with the guest family to the appointment place :) Yeha it was cool and funny
Well the guestfamilies were not in london but far out London, I liked everything a bit, I liked the park for it's beauty as place, but if I have to choose things I likeed the most to do it was the musical and the shopping (Covent garden and west end were realy nice and Canada place)

Yes I liked it and thank you! As said the only thing I liked less was Camden town, we did get interview by nice girls but we have no idea for what it was about the English accent, but it was so busy and all creepy people, we were standing and looking to one shop and a man came out and said with a soft voice to me and friends: It's ok girls, come in, don't be affraid so we just ran away from that creep! And yes it relay was spêctacular and the shopping was great :D No, but we did see the guards anhd on my friends camera's and phones are also several other pics and one from me and 2 friends with a guard that sat on a horse :)
Thanks =)

It sounds like you had an action packed time eva!!! you fitted so much in! I'm glad you spent some time out of London too... For me the capital is almost a world unto itself, especially central London, which i find way too overwhelming. England is so much more, and I guess like other countries there is a huge variety - villages, towns, cities, East West North and South all with their own histories heritage and vibes!!
I am not particulary patriotic or proud of this country, a far as the politics go..but for me there is a subliminal connection to the land here, the (ever decreasing) greenness, the tress, the history and folklore, the architecture not just in London. there is a defintine tangible magic and an energy that i miss when i have not been in this country and feel it as soon as i land. but i'm sure that is a very personal thing, not something you could generalise about. i kind of think everyone would probably find their natural place on earth, like a connection you just know. I have many more places to visit yet though, and Japan is next on my list..I need to connect with the roots of my Reiki heritage.
Gina, it is so exciting that you may relocate to the other side of the world! I know we talked about it before, but if you want to ask anything please go ahead, i think we have a few uk members here who i am sure would be happy to answer! maybe you will visit the uk first?
Great pictures, Eva, sounds like a wonderful trip. Your pics are very good. I would love to visit London some day, and I hope I will get tosee some of those sights for myself!
Yeah we realy did much and drove around a lot with the bus, in the eve, I who normaly is all active and hyper, felt asleep imediatly ^^ And our feet hurted a lot but it was definitly all worth it :) I'm sure every place has it's own wonderfull history Lula :)
I would like to visit Egypt, what also has to do with my wish for sitting on a camell, and I would like to go to America and Australia :) If I would ever do that then I think I would like to visit other places as Canada, Japan, China, I do like China and Japan but I feel less 'conected' with those, I do think the ancient music is beautiful, some food I realy like, and I think they are very creative :) I always love to explore something new ^^
Thanks Lady T, glad they are not to bad ^^ I hope as well for you, it realy was fun, first I have to say I thought it was less pretty then expected, but the places shown do are very beautiful, it just dpeends on being in the right place then you realy can see beautiful things, and London by night is wonderfull!

Goodness...what a heavenly treat!! Thank you Eva, hope you have had a pleasant trip in England deary? shame on me for just noticing this chNIC photo topic. I love the way you captured those beautiful moments, i can feel it though they were static as a little Anglophile ( hope i use it in a right way & sorry if i offend anyone) I have to say visiting Britain is always on my wishful trip list, for her history and literature, though I read little after being a high school student. Thank you Eva for allowing us to take a glimpse on your trip to London, you are a good photographer btw. I feel like showing you around my city if you finally make a trip to my country, tho i am afraid that my fellow citizens never know how to live a good life I'd like to suggest you go to Jiangnan like Hangzhou & Nanjing & Suzhou, if you like the chinese fond and classic chinese music.
