Through Facebook, I discovered that an old friend of mine has gone into the travel and tours business. She and husband is operating a holiday service to visit London, providing accomodation and other travel facilities in and around the UK. Go to http://www.mhhlondon.blogspot.com/ and you can choose all the attractive travel itinerary to the popular tourist attractions in UK. Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye for first-time travellers to the UK; trip to the Cotswalds for the nature lovers; Stratford-Upon-Avon for the literary enthusiasts; Roman Baths for the history lovers, and many many more.
I have always loved London since my University days in 1975. Being a student then, I seldom had the chance to travel because of study commitments and financial constraints. The city of London has certain charms that only someone who has been there knows how to describe them. Somehow, once you visit London, you want to go back there again and again and again.....
Pssst....I love London but that does not mean I love Malaysia less!

Saturday 11 July 2009
Saturday is a good day to look up Portobello - the world's largest antiques market. Historically speaking, London has been an influential city for two millenia and its history goes back to the founding by the Romans. Therefore, it is only natural that London has become a depository of international antiques. All antique lovers would browse away the day in Portobello's galleries and arcades. There is an astonishing variety of antiques and collectables from all around the world and dating back from the Roman times to 1960's.
People from all races jam the streets of Portobello every Saturday, trying to acquire bits and pieces of history left by their forefathers. I saw some old *Malacca tiles, being remade into functional items such as wall hangings or just being dispalyed as wall decoration. Such items are actually available at my gift boutique at blog http://www.tulengiftshop.blogspot.com/
*The antique tiles from Malacca actually originate from Great Britain. I saw 'Made in England stamped at the back of the tiles.However, some did come from Japan by my observation.
