London Impression

Hey @Bonjourtaiwan ,

You were lucky enough to find double deckers, traditional taxi and red phone cabs, as they are gradually disappearing in all United Kingdom and also in London. Have you tried to make the Royal guards smile? Do you know that they are trained not to show any emotions in public?

Great photos @Bonjourtaiwan !

I really love this city!

Many years ago I chose it as the first capital to visit alone … beautiful experience, in the middle of the Oasis band!

Thanks for sharing with us!

Bye,

Hey @davidhyno ,

Was it 1996? Those were the best years for “Brit rock” in my opinion. What do you think?

Hi @Sorbe ! How are you?

Yes…1995 to be precise, in the height of “Wonderwall”! So in the apex of the britpop! Musically speaking for me there are three periods: end of the 80s with the first synth-pop band and new wave (also for Italy-disco too!), first decade of 1990 with the brit-pop and first 5 years of 2000 with the trip- hop, nu metal (especially the first Prodigy, Radiohead and Coldplay albums) … now anything that comes out already knows something already heard … so sad!

And your musical tastes Sorbe? And yours @Bonjourtaiwan ?

What do you listen to now and which group / singer do you regret?

Can’t believe you mentioned this three periods @davidhyno ,

I think we lived in two parallel words! Oasis were the soundtrack of my teenage years, I saw Prodigy and Coldplay in concert ( the second one in Wembley Stadium) and nowadays I am quite into Kasabian, but I think that they already gave their best to be honest.

Dear @davidhyno

thanks for sharing.

In my time, I like the angelic voice of the British carpenter brothers and sisters. For the rock band, it should be the Queen’s band.

Ha ha … maybe it is about the age we dear @Sorbe ! We were lucky to live those years! Unfortunately I could not (yet) see the Prodigy in concert, but in compensation last year I saw the Depeche Mode in concert for the fifteenth time! :wink:

Hey @Bonjourtaiwan ,

If I had a time machine that will be the concert that I would definitely want to attend. Have you ever got the chance to see them live?

Thanks @Bonjourtaiwan for your reply!

The Carpenters…I will try to listen to some of their songs at home! I’m always looking for songs that give some kind of emotions!

Thanks again!!

Bye,

David

Hi @Bonjourtaiwan ,

I quite like your photos! I was particularly impressed that you paid attention even to such a detail as the armrest of the bench. :slight_smile:

Your post is coming right on time, as I’m planning a trip to London, but I don’t know how many days I’d need there to fully enjoy it.

How long was your stay? Was it quick and easy to go from one popular sight to another? Thanks!

Awesome photos @Bonjourtaiwan !

Thanks for sharing your experience in London with us! I really enjoyed London as a city break and combined the sight seeing with art galleries and the occasional pub. I also loved seeing the Nelson Mandela Statue. That was a proud moment. :grin:

Do you have a favorite?

Dear @DeniGu

I took a Eurostar from Paris to London for 2 days. But I think the 2nd is too short.

The most efficient travel in London, I recommend using a double-decker tour bus.

It’s can to take you to every famous attraction.
