London 2011

Thanks to my friend Joy for the first two pics!

Oxford Street

Covent Garden

Hyde Park

London was so great again! Lots of shopping and running around the city, there was so much to see. Only the busdriver made our trip a little harder, first he brought us almost two hours later and then in the evening he made us wait an hour and a half before he arrived with the bus. IN THE FRIGGIN FREEZIN RAINY NIGHT. INSANE. Bedankt Milot Reizen.
Besides that, the recently opened shopping mall Westfield Stratford City (close to the Olympic Stadium) is perfectly big and everything you wish for. Only Kiko Cosmetics was overpriced, so next time in Italy or Germany i'll buy a LOAD of that.

Tomorrow we'll be off to Paris! I've got mixed feelings at the moment.. the trip i wanted so much will start tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to this for months, since we decided to go! But now it's so incredibly close, it scares me a bit.
Also it's expensive, it's living with a smaller suitcase than ever before and i met a guy a while ago that i'm gonna miss.

Anvers, baby!

Time for the annual Antwerp trip with Nancy!
It solves everything; even when you're poor, when you've got final exams the day after, whatever hehe ;p

What does Antwerp bring you instead:
Sun - good life - Xavier Dolan's - incredible calmness - the fact everyone wears nice clothes - NO UGGS AROUND - chocolate eclairs - Jutka&Riska - nice people - chillness - food - Kriek - little rain - Da Giovanni (LOL hot spot) - beautiful accesories - coktails spelled with only a 'k' - more Xavier Dolan's........ and so on!

Cheers!

A day at London seems to be very short, but it was awesome &
i bought a lot!! My arms still hurt from carrying those bags hehe.
It was a bit rainy sometimes, but not cold at all.
And whoaa i was freaked out by all those people in Primark etc. arrgggh & those stores are HUGE! Everybody wants to see & try everything they see..
Seriously here in Holland we think it's crowded & big, but there it's 3000x worse! But it's really worth it.

See you soon, London!

Bye bye beautiful August!

on my way to London @ ferry in Calais

Here it comes again, September. It always makes me feel a bit sad, because in September i realize Winter is on his way. No more sun, summer dresses, picnics, etc, while dark & cold days are waiting. Come back soon, sweet Summer!

Everybody loves street musicians

@ Covent Garden, London

Snapshot: exhausted man

@ boat to London

Little bit blurred, because i was scared he would notice me taking pictures of him haha.

By the way, just had my first driving lesson today, whoo-hoo!

Shut up granny! Just open the bag and give me some of yar crisps!

Wanna give a crisp to the doggie?

That's exactly what the dogman said to the old woman who wants to give him some crisps. Everybody laughed. The old woman too, she didn't care about the rudeness.
I love that relaxedness about streetartists, they can do everything & everybody is just laughing and having fun.

London, baby!

Packing my bag a little, some food, loading my batteries, cuz tonight i'm off to London for a day! I hope to shop & see a lot, although it is only a day..

Bye bye, see you Sunday!

PS: When i'm back, i'm going to watch all the footage i can find of Lowlands! And i'm hoping they filmed Babylon Circus too!

Cute kid

@ Fontaine Stravinsky, Paris

Soon: a day in London

Just fixed a day of from work,
now we only have to make a reservation & it's done!

22th of August i'll be a day in London with my little sister :)

Here we come...!

People are ants

in the sunny, hot Louvre

Something to read when you're waiting for the subway

Extreme attention-addict

Living statue doing his job...

...untill he notices me taking pictures of him. He decided to strike poses for me. I gave him some coins as a reward.

Two people end up happy with something so close to nothing. That's something i call just that little things in life. It makes me feel so blissful.

Paris day 1: Centre Pompidou

The right man is obviously triggered by the living statue
who seems to walk in a storm

The scariest clown of Paris who made balloons for kids, on this one he wrote something like 'Sandoc le clown'

La Tour Eiffel

Hurray!

Sunday I'm off to Paris!

Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, Marc by Marc Jacobs store,

here i come! :)

Hmmm let's think.....

.... where did i put the band-aids?

Spotted on station Antwerpen-Centraal after an insufficient shoppingday.
I'm telling ya the 3 day sale in Antwerp isn't that great.
There are a lot of people, but no real bargains.
You better go to a regular sale in your country @ a store you like and you will end up way happier then fighting that heat & sweat!

Antwerp: next episode

Is she your ticket?

Asian feverr

Oh and i guess i'm going Antwerp again @ Friday -> final sale day!

Say hi twice!
