Search for the Mythical Roundabout.

It was another long boring Sunday *Well it was Sunday when I went there*. Unlike Malaysia where everyone just flocks to the nearest shopping mall, the residents of Great Britain prefer to stay at home and watch TV. Maybe, just maybe have a ‘Sunday Drive’. This makes for a really boring day where all you hear is the sound of BBC1 and children screaming.

Not wanting to be deafened by screaming kids, I decided to look for a motorcycle clothing shop I passed by 4 months ago. I had absolutely no clue as to where this place was other than it was situated near a roundabout. For those of you who know me back home, know for a fact that I’m absolutely hopeless with direction and will wander from place to place thinking to myself that it is familiar.

But seeing that I had a whole day to waste, why not? So I packed some water and a sandwich and set off to find this mythical roundabout. Now I knew it was over the river so I went to the most logical place, The Thames Bridge.

It’s so peaceful here. The wind blows softly across your face. But that was just my mind playing tricks. The warm wind was actually the exhaust of cars traveling by, and the air was so dry that I ran out of water just 1 mile from my house.

Half and hour passed and I still couldn’t find the place. This brought up another serious issue with the Brits. There are no public toilets anywhere. I mean it. You cannot find a public toilet anywhere in London. Sometimes, not even in a shopping mall. It makes you wonder how much they hold in … Eww …

What’s worse now is that I’m completely lost. Sigh ... my only hope is to follow the motorcylist. Sounds stupid but after 10 mins I did find the place WooHOO !!! ..


Now .. how do I get back?




The Mythical Roundabout


Quite lost now
Why do they park expensive cars near the water?
Ah the River Thames

So much Water
