Visiting London Chinatwon

I went to China Town on Sunday, Feb 1, as I was missing Singapore so muchey (much!!!). It was hell of crowd there but sudden snow came as surprise, it was amazing, romantic and loving. Soon my body couldn't take the bone-chilling cold (i was wearing just a sweater, a week old from ZARA) while still enjoying the slow snowfall. I went to one of the store to grab a lovely orange, blue and yellowish kind of Scottish wool sweater (i think its hand dyed) to resist the cold weather. I felt much better and was ready to explore china town. It took me max 5 minutes to walk from Leicester Square Tube. You can take train to either Piccadilly Circus Tube or Convent Garden Tube and walk to the Great Chinatown.
London's Chinatown is a commercial area in the SOHO area of the City Westminster. Its a typical like Singapore Chinatown; full of Chinese restaurants, souvenir shops, great Chinese people and Chinese-run businesses. Its a great place to visit, if you are in cultural things or care cross cultural stuff.
