as i said in my last post, i went 2 london yesterday, i.e. saturday to attend a carnival in the famous hyde park with a bunch of fellow trainees in london. i thought it was really amazing that there was an indian, a chinese, a russian and two polish besides me in the group. that's what AIESEC does 2 u, woah! we were 2 meet at 4 pm but i reached london at 3. so i decided 2 take a trip 2 this area called hyde park corner.
but before that, i usually take the train 2 london and the return journey costs me 7.55 pounds. this time i discovered that there is a bus service to london from bracknell, the return journey of which costs me just 3 pounds, woah! and it takes 30 minutes longer each way and u can see the towns and the people and the sexy cars too on your way. so goodbye to train to london, bus will be the name of the game from now on.
so lets begin the journey to hyde park corner. as soon as i got out of the bus, i saw this:
(PS: plzz excuse my photography skills, next time ill use zooming and focusing and other basic features while shooting photos :) and this applies to all the photos coming up.)
London Underground: those of u who don't know, one of the weidely used public transport mode in london is the london underground aka tube. its basically the train network built underground. i thought the trains wud be automatic but i discovered that they were actually run by human drivers. and the tracks are pretty deep underground. they r 100 yrs old. u wudnt really like it because the platforms are really old, it gets warm inside the trains, as there is no air conditioning. only sum of them are airconditioned. and in busy hrs there is hardly any space 2 stand, it get pretty crammed. but the good thing is dat u can go anywhere from anywhere in london using the tube, its pretty well connected. u mite have 2 change a couple of trains here and there.

in order 2 shoot these cars i had 2 go rite in front of the hotel's entrance, which i was initially reluctant 2 do. this is because once i tried 2 shoot lamborghinis in dubai in front of a hotel's entrance but the guards didnt let me :D nothng like that in london :)
and after seeing all of this hotness i was feeling very very thirsty but i had 2make myself content with an 80 pence coke :)
