The Home Stretch

Winchester

Burford

Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour London

SO AMAZING... I could spend days here. I think Professor Umbridge's pink office and the Ministry of Magic were my favourite set pieces. The glass case of all the objects featuring graphic design used in the movies, like chocolate wrappers, newspapers, signs etc. was also pretty sick, as were the costumes, he animatronics, and pretty much everything?? Oh and the gift shop, expensive as anticipated, but I did pick up a chocolate frog or two. I took SO many pictures in this exhibition, so I only included a few of my absolute favourites.

Butterbeer ♥ It tasted like butterscotch cream soda. The "froth" was SUPER thick and tangy.

On our last day in London I finally met Joel! (The Hallowed Ground) So excited I got to meet him in person! Plus I was so thrilled I got to see Randa and Dodo again for a second time ♡ yay! I even got to meet Katie Eary (who Joel interns for) since Joel was meeting her for coffee that day. It was also really cool to see quieter parts of London further from the city centre that I've never really had the chance to see before. 

I almost mastered Joel's signature pose (he's in the process of having it patented). Unfortunately my measly tongue just isn't long enough.

We went for Dim Sum later where Dodo met up with us (⌒▽⌒) everything was so good mmmmmm

And Joel let me try on his new oil slick Docs ( ﾉ ￣◡ ￣)ﾉ  

Photo time~

When Randa hijacked my camera...

It was such an awesome time just hanging out in London for the day! Thank you to the gang for showing me around and taking me to cool places (and special thank you to Joel for coming all the way to my hotel to meet me and taking us to meet Katie sob) ah I miss all you guys so much T_T I hope we meet again really soon!

Leaving London - our airport hotel.

Hong Kong stopover hotel.

So this is my last travel post! I hope you guys have enjoyed them. Ah I really miss my trip a lot... But I have lots of good things coming up on here. As usual I will apologise for being a slacker with posting, I just finished my second week back at uni and I think I'm finally getting back into the swing of it. Btw I celebrated my birthday in February, I'll definitely have to show you guys some of the wonderful things I received. I hope you guys are all enjoying your uni/college/spring breaks etc. and are having a great year so far (can you believe it's already March?!). See you soon!

Bolshie Store

How sick is the new Bol$hie store? Complete with cash money floors, mirrored ceiling, gold and glitter dance pole, pink throne and a candy-coloured fish tank. I was so thrilled I got to check it out with Randa, Siqi and Emmie while I was in London. The first time I saw Bol$hie was actually in the CANDY store in Shibuya, also when I first laid eyes on the virgin mary bomber that I'm still very in love with ♡◡♡*:･ﾟ✧ Oh man if I had G-Dragon's income, I would buy out the entire store in a second. If you are ever in London, you need to check this place out! It will be the most badass store you've ever seen.

Our old houseBubble Tea at Lakwatsa, Notting HillThe Tate Modern (can you guess which two sticky notes are mine?)

And time for the exciting part~ I got to hang out with the amazingly cool Randa, Emmie, Siqi, Emma and Dodo while I was in London (￣ヮ￣) they showed me around a ton of awesome places mostly in East London. I know some of these places overlap because they are within another (if that makes sense??), but I was able to tick off KTZ, Primitive, Shorditch, Soho, Brick Lane and Bolshie (separate post coming on that one), and other notable stores/areas we visited include Year Zero, Lazy Oaf, Shop 172, Box Park, Sick... etc.

Primitive 
Year Zero
KTZ store (gimme everything)onnit like a car bonnet~
We got bulgogi, bibimbap and all that good stuff at Seoul Bakery ♡ 

later Dodo joined us♡ and we even stopped at M&Ms world~
lastly we hung out at Trafalgar Square! and Randa took some touristy shots of me ~

That just about sums it up for the highlights of London (and emphasis on the "highlights" part, I culled a ton). Oh and in case you don't follow me on twitter, I am back home in Sydney now~ I really miss London a lot, I even miss the snow (it feels like a tropical sauna here srsly). I still have some photos from Sweden and round two of London to show you guys so please look forward to them! (You can also check out my insty for more photos I took along the way.)

P.S. another special thankies to my wonderful London gang for showing me around and for teaching me some new British slang words and phrases ♡ riskin it for the biscuit~
