London Misc

London is probably the closest I will get to New York or Paris. Therefore I so naturally relish every moment I'm down there. As it's still the Christmas-new year period I've given up fighting procrastinating and chosen to do something far more useful with my time-visit Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park. Why the hell not? Who would pass on chomping a few German Sausages and sip glasses of steaming mulled wine. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go on any rides, as drinking beer from mahoosive pint glasses and staring at a group of men who had blatantly brought their Malamute Husky (to excite 'chicks') was quite satisfying for them. But I did have the joy of singing along to a Reindeer's head on a roof, that charmed the crowd with Christmas tunes. 'Twas worth it.



Losing my Macaroon virginity: I thought I knew what macaroons were-the delicious flaky coconut cakes you get from supermarkets, however these 'macaroons' meant business (expensive business) each macaroon worth £2 and more. They are so delicate and beautifully crafted that I wanted to just hold it in my palms and look at it all day. My purse didn't allow me to persue the latter so I nibbled one from the box of 6 for £8. My conclusion: I'm not sure whether I like that 'jammy' texture but the flavours were really rich, guaranteeing sugar rush after 2 of these badboys.



I must had been a disorientated magpie that day. My eyes were glaring at anything and everything colourful that I must've stared at the M&Ms 'hall' for a good 5 minutes. I was in awe with how many pretty colours they could coat M&Ms in, from super bright colours to mellow pastoral tones. I just wished they sold these in normal cornershops. When we finally left the gigantic M&M's World in Leicester Square, my friend and I were battling a frenzy of entering a colour comatose. It's a cool but strange tourist attraction. I still don't understand why we have one though?
