Londoners are very proud of London Eye, the biggest Ferris wheel around the world.
It might look impressive especially on a foggy night.
On the other hand, the view would be amazing on a clear sunset. I’ve got the chance to be on London Eye more than once (quite touristic, aren’t I? . And these [...]

For me, lavender is a special kind of plant. It’s hard for me to tell enough how much I feel about them. I love looking at their flowers. They are shining modestly in the sun, they are wild and cute, their smell is sweet and divine, their purple colour is just beautiful, especially in the [...]

Last Friday, BBC had an interesting article about Health concerns. It’s read: “Exercise ‘must be tough to work’! ” Sounds hard, isn’t it? After years and years of research, now they have concluded that an easy, gentle exercise (such as ‘a mere stroll to the car park’) might not be enough to keep you [...]

The free London business newspaper City A. M. published last Tuesday that the consulting firm Ernst & Young is to implement a scheme so its employees can take as many holidays as they want. Forget about 20 working days. If you want to take 30, do so. 40? No problem. That’s a good place to [...]

I didn’t know much about English culture before I’m here. I was told that Englishmen are polite, frank, have good sense of humour and so on. But I’ve never heard anyone say that they should be famous for flattering…
G’morning, beautiful.
How are you today, gorgeous?
You o’right, lovely?
…
How can one answer these questions without being blushed? Well, [...]

I’ve just bumped into this article, I find it quite amusing.
60% of the employees in the survey sample admit that they do not work full hours as they should. An average of 2 hours is lost. Of course, they had tons of personal things to sort out in working hours.
Not surprisingly, the top wasting [...]

In business’s life, it’s very important to be “Pro”, if you’re pro, you’ve got a voice. If you are not pro, you’re just another dust in the sand dune, people would show you “talk to the hand” sign.
I guess an example would be people working in the City – the famous square mile. They dress [...]

I can’t say enough how surprised I am to witness what I’m seeing now in UK – one of the most civilised and developed countries in the world!(?)
I’ll tell you why.
When it’s hot, people would faint in the underground stations, because they were built years and years ago, and there was no global warming issue, [...]

I’m on page 115 of the latest Harry Potter’s book. It was easy-reading, everything flows so smoothly and quickly. I can’t wait to see when Voldermort is killed…
I love their trio-friendship and all the protection and plans were so exciting. The bit when Ginny and Harry kissed was a bit too cheesy.Bah, never mind, [...]
