I like the location because it’s not busy and it feels like I am in Venice 🙂

View from the entrance of the hotel – look further down across the bridge

A Wedding in London

By | Bridal | 2 Comments

We attended a wedding in London and there were some quite unique features which I really liked 🙂  

The bride made her own bouquets out of printed paper

Guests were transported by the London Red Bus from the church to the reception 🙂

Cocktail drinks were given to the guests so they could sip some champagne while riding the bus 🙂

Friends from London got pearls from the Philippines while guests from the Philippines got London souvenirs.  Ours were coasters with artworks by Banksy

 For those of you who don’t know Banksy, read below

Al Arez Lebanese Cuisine

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

There is quite a big community of Arabs in London, so we saw a lot of Arabian cuisine around the city.  I was really hoping we could go to one but due to time constraint, we were not able to go to one with the family.  So on our last night,  James and I crossed the street from our place in Knighstbridge and had some Lebanese Cuisine!!!  When we crave for rice, we look for Chinese, Thai or a kebab place 🙂 This is dedicated to our good friend, Ned, who is Lebanese 🙂  Make sure when in London, try some Lebanese cuisine!
