Before I post the entire story of my 3rd day travel in London city centre, here is a snapshot I took along River Thames on south bank area which is just beside the tourists’ “must visit” London icon of the Tower Bridge.
This area is called More London. It is a new 13 acres (53,000 m2) mixed development designed by the famous British born architect, Norman Foster and partners who also designed the Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok. The City Hall, a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, Hilton London Tower Bridge hotel, office blocks, shops, restaurants, cafes, and a pedestrianized area containing open-air sculptures and water features, are part of the development. Those buildings in the above photo are known as 2, 3 & 4 More London Riverside along the river while 1 & 6 More London Place are offices right behind.
This photo was taken with my Nikon D60 and Tamron SP10-24mm Ultra Wide Angle lens. The full story will be posted right after this.

On a whim I took a trip to Buenos Aires 5 years ago. It might have taken me 14 hours to fly there, but it took me less than 14 minutes to become completely enchanted with the city. Little did I know that not only would it mark the beginning of a love affair with a gorgeous man (whom I am marrying in Buenos Aires next year), but also a gorgeous city. Buenos Aires has enveloped me, held me, and let me move through her barrios as one of her own. This is the city I will remember and return to over and over again.
These are my top 5 favorite things to do when I do return:
1. La Recoleta Cemetery: This cemetery is famous because Eva Peron and other important Argentines are buried here, however it is a feast for the eyes due to the incredible architecture and elaborate tombs found throughout. You can easily spend a day getting lost inside it.
2. La Casa Rosada: You know a city must be special if its offices of the President are pink! The spectacular building is found in the center of downtown Buenos Aires. The surrounding streets are filled with cafes, galleries, and boutiques, thus making the walk to it a pleasant one.
3. La Boca: This barrio has a notorious reputation for crime, but it should not be missed. If you travel there during the day, you will be safe, as there will be lots of tourists to keep you company. There you will find colorful houses and people dancing tango in the streets.
4. Calle La Florida: This mile long street is famous for its countless shops, most carrying leather goods. Argentina is known for its quality and inexpensive leather, whether it be a coat, purse, or shoes.
5. Most people do not realize that Uruguay is just a quick boat ride away! You can see another country and be back in time for dinner. The boat you take to Uruguay is called the Buque Bus (http://www.buquebus.com/cache/HomeARG.html). It is very upscale, though completely affordable, and is an adventure in itself.

One of the popular travel destination in London, Camden Markets is an area where a number of different markets are adjacent to each other along the Camden High Street then Chalk Farm Road. Used to be weekend markets, Camden Markets is now open 7 days a week due to it high popularity among tourists as well as local British.

A lesser known tourists’ site in London if compared to those big names such as Big Ben or Tower Bridge, Camden Markets is still worth to be included in your London travel itinerary. Especially for those shopaholic, Camden Markets is the best place to shop for alternative fashion and accessories, clothing, antiques, souvenirs and food. [...]

A snapshot of Arc De Triomphe (Triumphal Arch) in Paris, from underneath looking upward. This is something different from what you’ve seen normally. This 50m high monument was built in 1830s, to honour those who fought for France during the Napoleonic Wars. Those names inscribed on the inside walls are French generals involved in wars. [...]
We had a relatively good weather on our 3rd day in London. Though it was raining during certain hours of the day, we still had enough bright sun and blue sky to shoot photos to capture the best landmarks in London. As I mentioned before, great photos need good lighting, the photo below explained it [...]
Guest Post by Cherrye Moore Seeing London in one day? Impossible! Or is it? Just last week I traveled from my expat home in southern Italy to London with my nine year old nephew and although we were technically there for three days, I only had one day to show him the sights. So I [...]
Don’t be confused. Soho London has nothing to do with SOHO (Small Office Home Office). Soho London is an entertainment area in the City of Westminster, West End of London city centre. It was a farmland in 16th century. No record have stated how Soho got its name in the first place. Some believed it [...]
London city tour continued. We deliberately spent much of our afternoon session in shopping at Oxford Street and Knightsbridge as it was drizzling and cloudy whole day in London with temperature dropped drastically to below 10°C. We supposed to do shopping only on the 3rd day but we swapped it with our original 2nd day [...]
