Shaw's BOGAE London Tour 2008

charmed

Regents Park, Richmond....Sydney has surburbs by these names. My Auntie, who studied in England many years ago, was just commenting the other day about how a ridiculous amount of places in Australia have just used names from England!

Your trip sounds beautiful, and what amazes me is actually how much better quality cameras have gotten since 1991! But seriously, what a lovely and meaningful trip

Hi, Charmed! Glad to see you again.

It's been a long time not "seeing" you around here.

I did have a great time in London. Though it was not my first visit to London, it had a "plus", thanks to BOGAE.

Absolutely agree w/ u on the improvement of camera technology, although it is not quite fair to compare the 1989 sets pics w/ my 2008 pics coz the 1989 BOGAE pics are caps from utube videos. FYI, the 2008 pics were downsizing version. The originals are too big to post in this forum.

And about the "copy-cat" cities, it is not unique to Sydney. You will wind lots of "Richmond" in North America too. Apparently, it shows to things:

1. How big the Brits is in the 19th century. There was a saying: "The sun never sets on British empire".

2. How imigrans, not only from the Brits, always have deep connections to their roots. You will be surprised to find many "Odessa"s built by Russian immigrants around the world. Of course, I won't be surprised to find "Mong Kok" in Sydney (blink-blink).

Ha...ha..., can u imagine how big my grin is when I found an "After Five" cafe in Houston's (TX) chinatown?

谢谢shaw。。现在的伦敦真的漂亮，天好蓝。。。

fanjuanjuan,

喜歡就好。

London天氣變得快。一天内可見多季節。好難猜。不看天氣預告最好別出門。

這些地方都不是1天内走完的。去 Richmond, Trafalgar Square, Piccadily Circus, Buckingham Palace 哪幾天天氣就很好，而且對我這個怕冷的都會覺得熱。拍照片特別漂亮。

可是去 Campden Town, Regent's Park 幾天就不同了。天很陰，還下雨。照片效果不加。

你这次旅行去了几天??恐怕天天的行程都排的很满.. 那里的建筑实在太多了.呵呵.>!~~玩的很疯吧..

去了以前M拍戏的地方,肯定有许多feel.....

Trafalgar Square这个地方很漂亮。。还真想去。。

这个真要好好保留，等我有机会去London就指望它了！

Thx for point bonus, elaine!

Can't compare the color of the London's sky since my visit is in summer while BOGAE was filmed in early winter (November 1989) - (CMIIW).

我在倫敦5天。當然，不只是爲了《我本》之旅。倫敦一代還有很多漂亮的parks, palaces, castles, museums, theatre shows.

單《我本》之旅，不太幹警的話，大概要2.5天。若走馬看花，大概要很累的2天。

Trafalgar Square 不錯。可惜經常太多人。每個遊客都想在哪兒拍照。要去，最好早早。我自己比較喜歡 Richmond, Campden Market, Regent's Park. Buckingham Palace 附近有個park (James' Park?) 也漂亮。晚上坐在Thames河邊看 Big Ben & Parlement Building 也蠻浪漫的。

你拍的那些图都蛮漂亮的 ... 特别是. Parlement Building ,一到晚上那里的灯光效果和夜景那真是一级的棒...和自己喜欢的人坐在那,真是浪漫哦..!~~~

为什么伦敦有那么多好玩,又有历史性的地方???? 真想去哈/..

伊明4ever

哈哈 不错喜欢

还有对比图 真细心啊~~~

要求看和心恋2人的合照哈~~~~

心恋幽风

遗憾的就是没能和你一起走全程，不过你自己看也有另一种感觉！
很开心哦！可以和shaw一起坐在曾经浩男伊明坐的长椅上聊天。
这几天伦敦冷的利害，连着下雨，穿什么都觉得好冷哦！
其实说来就是从shaw来的那几天，之前几天有很热过，她走了之后就一直冷下去了。

Still, thx for accompanying me!

Weather wise, I was lucky coz on those days I visited London the weather was so "friendly" to me.

Now, if London is cold, can you imagine how cold it is in my place?

jobogae

Wow! You got to see a lot shaw_mag. The last time I was in England, I wasn't able to see too much. Thanks for all the great location information. I'll definitely plan another trip out there again. It's a beautiful place!!
