Anyway, the presentation went well and there are few questions came up from the participants. Not many questions though. It's either they understood it so well or they didn't get it at all. LOL

(My breakfast)
I love the chocolate pastry (danish).
Oh yeah i met two students there. Good to know them, else my conference trip would be very lonely. The girl is an Italian and the guy is from Spain. All the best for their last year of PhD.
I left during the tea time at around 11 am. The conference is supposed to be over at around 2 pm. But I skipped the last session since the talks are mostly not related to my work. I took bus to the train station again. My train to London is at 12:49 pm.

The train was quite crowded on that day. I was so worried about my big luggage. This time I got a seat without a table. So, I was ready to place my luggage in front of my seat, and of course I would have to fold my legs on the chair. But, luckily, nobody has seat beside me a long the way. Fiuhhhhh....
I reached London at around 3 pm. From King cross underground, I headed to Earl's Court station. I booked another Premier Inn at Earl's Court. It took me about 10 minutes to find out the right wasy to the hotel. But after I knew the route, it's just less thank 10 mins to the hotel.
They have few machines for self checked in, which is very convenient. I got a room at level 1. In order to get into the lift, I need to scan my card. So, usually the card can be scanned inside the lift to get to our room level. But, this one, we need to get it scanned first then only the lift's door can be opened. Quite safe.......
This hotel is again rock! It's very spacious, compared to the previous premier inn. Just that this hotel looks older inside. But, the bed is really comfortable. I wonder what type of bed that they use. Both premier inn that I booked have similar bed type. Very comfortable...........
After placing my luggage, I decided to go for a walk. I went to green park station to find Boots store. One colleague asked me to buy some cosmetics there.
From green park, I walked to Piccadilly, then to oxford street. Oxford street is shopping heaven in London. Clarks, H&M, Mark & spencer, and many more. You can find them all there.
I stopped by Mark & Spencer, and the biscuit covered chocolate is so much cheaper compared to Singapore price. They are selling it only for 0.65 pounds, whereas in Singapore it's sold for 3.50 or 3.90 SGD. For the price in singapore, you can get 3 packet in London.It's a steal!
It's time to go back to hotel. I stopped by a thai restaurant to pack my food. I found it in google map, it's called Addie's thai restaurant. I packed seafood tom yam soup with noodle. I forgot to take picture of my food. Haha... But, it was ok, a littl eoily, not very special. I just remember that i have to wait for quite a long time for my food, and after I reach hotel room, I found out that they didn't give me any spoon, or chopstick. Luckily there is a small spoon in the hotel room.
Oh yeah, I found one thing, Evian! It only costs 0.95 pounds for a 2 liter bottle of Evian. So cheap............ I got one bottle, and finished it in one night. Yeah, I wasn't feeling well starting that day. I guess it's the dry and cold weather in London.
