Of my Trip to London !

So after I got back from Hong Kong I went off to London to visit my cousins again (just for a few days) :3 This time we went to Selfridges to shop as I haven’t actually properly walked in there! It’s so big we didn’t get around it all >< But I saw the Artbox store and I loved it ^^ Haul post next time =]

I also went to Trocadero to see the Ho panda shop, only to realize that it moved to a bigger store right at the front of the shopping centre! You can’t miss it now, but to be honest I prefer it the way it used to be. Also, this time I went, they didn’t let me take any photos/video T__TSAM_3547
I also attended a wedding ceremony one of the days I was in London >< I didn’t even have a proper outfit as I found out so last minute! I’m wearing my casual fake-shoe lace flats I got from HK and a navy polka dot playsuit with lace vest. I felt a little underdressed =_=

ok so another day we went to Westfield shopping centre, London, another place I have never been! I saw SNOG and I had to have one ^^

Another thing ! my cousins brought me to a Kpop event in London, which was fun ^^

what was special about this party was that they were giving out GD/TOP albums and I actually won one! I was so happy XD

Panda House Frozen Yoghurt in MK

One place I had on my list to visit in Hong Kong was the Panda House Frozen Yoghurt shop in Mong Kok. So I finally got to go last week and I loved it SO much !
SAM_3329
So basically it’s just a little frozen yoghurt shop, that sells Hokkaido milk yoghurt. You get the yoghurt then you are free to put whatever toppings you like!

Air con is good inside too! and you can sit on the benches whilst you eat =] and they don’t mind you taking photos !
So there you go, another panda place in Hong Kong! It was quite hard to find, but go here for the map/directions.

Visit to Panda House Cafe Hong Kong

**** NOTE this cafe has since closed down**** =(
A friend recommended this panda cafe to me so I had to go!
There are a lot of these cafes in Mong Kok, Hong Kong where you can eat, drink coffee, sit for as long as you want, use the free wifi and also play board games! But this one is special in that it is panda themed!
