Sometimes, just sometimes, I kinda think that I'm kinda wasting my job. As in, I don't go sightseeing much, I don't walk around that much when I'm in another country. There's just no thrill nor excitement to move about, seeing the world so to speak. Most of the time, I'm just too tired and also too lazy to plan all the tours and whatnot! Truth be told, traveling on vacation reasons is seriously very different from traveling on work reasons, seriously. I'd be happy if I can squeeze in some shopping energy and time heh! It's mostly makan then tidur then makan then tidur then work back.
Just came back from London, this is my 3rd so far and the 4th one coming on Christmas. Point is, having been there so many times, I haven't actually gone on a tour or even get myself around to visit tourist attractions. London Bridge how I don't know, Big Ben how I also don't know haha! The good thing about this time's trip was the walk in the park. You see, when doing a London flight, crews will normally visit this duck rice stall near Bayswater tube station which serves quite good Chinese food I must say. This time round, they decided to take a walk there, cutting through Kensington Gardens:

| Ok, this might not do the place justice, cause it was a really nice park. Got real life swans somemore (no pic though). If I have dogs, I'll walk him/her/them there every day :) It was quite cold, but there were still many people jogging, cycling, dog-walking there! |

| Me and yellow-leaf tree lol. Super random. End of autumn, winter coming soon huh? The seniors were walking in front, so the few of us junior ones just randomly snap snap some pics then off we follow haha. |

I used to have to travel quite a bit for my job, not so much now and never out of Europe. But I know what you mean. Travelling on business really isn't like a holiday. I wouldn't say that I never had any time for sight-seeing but obviously, most of my time was spent working.
I do love London but even if you visit it as a tourist, with no business meetings and the rest of it to worry about, you do go home absolutely exhausted. London's just like that, it's so fast-paced and keeping up with it does knock the stuffing out of you.
The only time I came back from London feeling relaxed was the December before last. My mum and I decided we wanted to stay in Covent Garden overnight, so we booked ourselves into London serviced apartments. And that weekend felt like a week's holiday. We didn't do much, just wandered in and out of shops, watched the street performers, consumed vast amounts of mulled wine and chestnuts but it was lovely. It's busy in Covent Garden but it's a friendly kind of busy. Not the solid wall of people kind of busy that would knock you flying without a second thought.
