The weekends are here, and quick as a flash gone again.

The weekend has just passed once again, and we got to explore another corner of London we've never been to before. On Saturday, in an area call called Ealing, there was a Jazz festival in the park, similar to that of Jazz in the Domain back in Sydney. It was nice lying out on the grass soaking up the precious rays, but could really enjoy the music much because too many kids were around and too many english people chit-chatting away. Worse still we had to pay an entry fee of £1 per person.....whereas something like that in Sydney is free!!!

Sunday was nice as we caught up with some friends for Yum Cha, or Dim Sum as they call it here, at a restaurant near Canary wharf called Lotus. It was a floating restaurant, you know, they typical asian kind of restaurant. The food was reasonable, and the price was fairly well priced considering. Over here they don't push the carts around for you to pick, you get a sheet that lists all the food they have, and you order and they'l bring it out... how cool is that! no more wondering if your favorite dish was ever going to come out.

Afterwards we headed for Greenwich, particularly Greenwich observatory, from there we had a great view of the London city skyline high up near the observatory. Greenwich observatory site, to most tourist is famous for one thing... and that is the imaginary line defining the centre of time, the Greenwich mean time (GMT). As typical tourist, we couldn't resist and took the touristy photo. The rest of the Observatory was intersting, seeing the history of the site, and the telescopes that were used, and my favorite, all the classic watches and clocks on display.

We ended the day with a stroll through Greenwich market, and through the streets....awwwhhh, the weekend was over!.... can't wait till next weekend, not sure yet what we're doing, but can't wait all the same!!!
