Back from London...

I'm back from the capital.. and to sum it all up, it was short and sweet. Good weather on the 1st day.. rainy weather on Sunday.. so kept sight-seeing to a minimum to that day. But i did go for mass at the Westminister Cathedral which was an experience. It's a massive cathedral with elobrate furnishings. Marble pillars, Candles burning, statues of saints, multiple parts of the cathedral was divided into smaller chapels and corners dedicated to saints/the dearly departed. The place was lightly dim and truth be told, reminded me of the Action RPG, Diablo... minus the demons, skeletons and traps and all.. yes, i've been told i've got quite an imagination. Lol.

Mass was so-so. The cathedral was probably 80% filled and I was actually worried i wouln't get a seat. There wasn't a choir but only a cantor and an organist. I can imagince why as they have throngs of outside people who come for mass just because they're in the area. (like me.) Sermon was straightforward about the being prepared for the Lord. The parable of the bridegroom and the servants. See.. I do listen! Heh.

That's all I'm gonna say about London till i get the photos we took.. so I can try my hand at a photo-essay on my trip down there.

Anything interesting happened there which i might want to mention? Well, yeah. There was this one guy who palmed my face. While I was rushing into the Underground train, the doors were closing.. he swung his hand to hit the doors back but guess whose face was in the way? Yeap. It wasn't too hard.. Didn't leave any visible mark on my right cheek. Mmm... I was on my way in and he was trying to keep it open for our benefit la. After abit of staring at him, he did apologize and later on, he started rambling. He was acting abit wierd. The smell of alcohol from his breath proved that he was abit drunk. (at 1130?!!) That explains the great control in his motor skills.

Ahh.. well. Don't let that give you a bad impression of London. Tis was a good trip down! Photo Essay to come!
