So I write this post when I'm supposed to study Physics for next exam and I hate it. Why the title is like this, basically because my friend kept saying YOLO when we have to cross the road. That was really different with in Germany. Since in Germany, you have to wait for the famous rotampel (the red light in man icon) goes to green before crossing the road, even though there's no vehicles whatsoever on the road. And for me, it was basically a YOLO trip since as you know, I will have two upcoming exams. And one of it is Physics, which I hate. It's also YOLO because i was flying by myself. And since my friend still had some lecture and meeting to go, I had to wander around London by myself too. (So yeah, I decided to use YOLO word even though I actually dislike it).

The post will be divided into two, I guess. The first one is for first three days, which means the first time I arrived there and the time in Southampton (where my friend lives) and the first day I was back to London and exploring by myself: Covent Garden Market (a place that I love so much) and Camden Market (I didn't really explore this because the first time I stepped out, it was kinda like ITC for me. I know, the places inside would be more beautiful but I didn't really have time and energy back then).


Southampton:

Back to London:
I love how there are so many secondhand/independent bookstores in London (and in Southampton too, actually). 
My favorite place: Covent Garden Market.
 Pollocks Toystore: a very cute (and kinda secret) toystore and the seller was very nice, he allowed me to take photos as much as I wanted. (However, I of course didn't have much money to buy such a toy).
 Camden Market.
 And there's also a lot of stores which sell original Docmarts, with models that you can't easily find online. And it's on sale! Though it's still expensive, and too bad, I've got new boots before going to London.
 Platform 9 3/4. I planned to take photo there but there's a queue, and also we need to wear property and take a pose and therefore I became lazy to do so. 
Highlight of the 'YOLO': eating this. The price was enough to let us skip lunch the next day. But it was worth it to finally have some good food... (and really, people in Indonesia eat luxurious food like every weekend don't they? according to their Instagram). 

So the next post will probably be up soon. I'm so in the mood for procrastinating but I have to study. Oh really, in the exam phase like this, I wish I were studying in Indonesia instead.
