The London Eye
Since next week I don’t have any plan to go anywhere, I’m thinking of going to KL major attractions such as Taman Orkid and Butterfly Park or take some pictures at the Eye of Malaysia. I doubt Hubby would agree to take a ride on the Eye of Malaysia, so taking pictures of it as a background will be enough. Of course you can’t compare the Eye of Malaysia to the famous London Eye.
The London Eye is the world’s highest observation wheel giving a view of over 55 of London’s famous landmarks from any of its 32 sealed passenger capsules in a 30-minute Ferris wheel ride. Since opening in March 2000 the British Airways London Eye has become an iconic landmark and a symbol of modern Britain.
Anyway, if I ever get the chance to visit London (which I don’t know when), I hope I would be able to afford a stay in any of the hotels in London. You see, I have checked the accommodation rates and the cheapest would be around GBP40-50 per night which is quite pricey when converting to my currency (the conversion will be around x 7 )..huhu!
With London ranks as one of the most expensive cities in the world, alongside Tokyo and Moscow, its cheap hotels are not always cheap by our standard. Furthermore, it is also ranked 4th in the world in number of billionaires (United States Dollars) residing in the city. Thanks to info on Wikipedia, I’m getting more acquainted with the demographics of London, heh!
But then again, who knows if somehow I strike a fortune, I would be able to stay in 5-star London hotels for weeks..who wants to come along? wink!!
