Oh yeah... love Hyde Park... strolling through... I like to stay on the Northern side... along Bayswater Road... quiet and safe and right in the centre of London... and easy to visit Hwee Park... stroll along the Serpentine in the afternoon is really very relaxing... seeing people feeding the swans, roller-blading, picnicking, dating... time comes to a standstill amidst the golden setting sun... wah... never get enough of it...

Also like to visit St James Park next to Buckingham Palace... quiet, far from the madding crowd but you're still in the middle of the greatest city in the world... 

London, I don't mind going over and over again... ha ha... how to get bored of such a city?

I bored in London coz i was stuck there for a few mths waiting for my visa and am not allowed to travel outside of the country until i have it ….really literally walked the whole city, every weekend..maybe I was alone there at that time, guess is bored...but is really a huge city...plenty of places to explore!!

To me, I like cities with BIG architecture or nice streets for photos 🙂 Most European cities are nice actually so I find most big cities good. London, Paris, Porto, Barcelona, etc, etc. 

If I REALLY have to choose a big city I like the least it is probably Paris. Paris because I don't really like the people there... Somehow I feel a few Paris people don't treat English speaking Chinese people "nicely'.

i did try to get build some relationship but really ah...one or two of the AD totally say their list is for locals (maybe the list is too long) and won't entertain foreigners....so really even difficult to "start" a conversation...

been only once actually to Paris and didn't like it....somehow, can "feel" something ...

yes, most European cities have nice architecture and rich in history, they love to preserve these structure....unlike Sg, demolish and build new ones..

Antwerpt, Belgium train station - inside the most beautiful train station in Europe...just look at the architecture

Wah, i also like.

but i prefer quaint towns instead of cities. 
Italy got plenty.  Cept i am no photographer, i like to explore small towns and see how people live. 

Paris well known for “speak french only”

i actually also prefer outskirt of the cities....that's why i get bored easily in cities but love travelling to the country side and mountains....

having a break in one of the Belgian beer houses - over 100 yrs old these beer houses and they have all types of beers here...and is cheap in euro$ terms..

famous Beer houses in Brussels, they are over 100 yrs old....kinda really old buildings and they are near to the Cathedrals....
