The pavilion...? (Is not pier, is in park)

(Is pier, is not in park)*

...What is that, a crane...?

No, no it really isn't (funnily enough I did not go on this ride!)

...I did, however, go on this ;)

(Spot mi madre in the first carriage...)

(The last time I was on this ride I was- twelve?!)

* ...Is in sea ¬.¬

"Room with a View" [we stayed at a place owned my some friends of my mother's - 'La Maison Crème Anglaise' (yes, "Custard House") and I got a room with high windows . . . ]

And a view of the pool ^^

Shots of the Village of Montréal:

(I'd never seen purple Hibiscus before...)

...A WEEZARD!!! <3

Pictures taken from a church we went to and the surrounding village:

From small secluded Cathedral garden:

The Dog's name is Custard (obviously, to go with the house) and the kitten's name...? That's right, Rhubarb ^^

Eez a doggy!

Eez a BIG tikken...

Hmmmmmmmaybe not quite so big*

*Nom nom nom*

((World's most adorable dishwasher))

*Haz a plant*

*Haz a chair*

*Haz an Emily*

...

Or, y'know, vice versa (damn customs *mutters*) and yes, I look absurdly young...

* If you're wondering why the kitten has a 'lead' (wool), she hadn't been outdoors that much and it was mainly so she didn't escapé and be lost forever more at the bottom of the garden.

...

Of course, the other reason was the adorable notion of having a kitten on a string!!!

None of these were photo-shopped. The second picture is just what came out after spinning around :)

Roller-coasters: Alton Towers

2007-08-19T11:43:56Z

(Un)surprisingly the most difficult to photograph - allegedly faster than a shuttle take-off, hurtling from 0-100 kmph in 2.5 seconds. As you do. Gives you one hell of a headache...

Oddly enough I did not go on this ride... (Something to do with a strong wish not to get drenched . . . )

...Oddly enough I did go on this one. I still don't know why.

Beijing Photos IX - Random!

People's Republic of China flag (Tian an Men Square)

That's all of us. From my school at any rate. (Marble boat in background)

Great Wall photo No. 1 (with tourist crossing -.-)

Great Wall photo No. 2

Random person who spoke fairly decent English at (I think) Tao Coffee (Starbucks equivalent mentioned previously)

Me outside The Forbidden City (which wasn't all that forbidden, y'know...)

Modeling shiny black dress of doom. LH side I have not been spliced, picture taken in better light to accentuate pattern... ~~(Head missing for aesthetic purposes)~~

George (apparent "boyfriend" -_-) hugging a vase

George and I, closing ceremony (I'm surprised the rest of the class hadn't hired a priest by that point...)

...And by far his best picture - the 'LOL' face. Yush.

<3

(And I secretly finish with the Best. Sign. Ev4r. Outside the Hard Rock cafe. That we had to park outside. Before going to swanky hotel of doom for closing ceremony (but I doubt the dessert would have been up to the same standard somehow...)

Beijing Photos VIII - Miscellaneous

2007-08-11T20:07:04Z

Somewhat garish wall motif, Forbidden City

Bamboo, Forbidden City

Very old tree, Forbidden City

Bark of a different tree - almost like snow khaki...

Hyowge Cricket, encountered before embarking up (sic) The Great Wall. One of our group freaked out and wanted to stamp on it before I pointed out that crickets are considered lucky in China...

...So instead this beautiful thing (praying mantis) got smooshed. By accident apparently as someone effectively backed onto it -.-'
~~I decided its name was Doris. R.I.P, Doris <3~~

# Send her up to the waste-diposal-unit in the sky... #
(The text amused me...)

Immensely cool blue fairy lights outside Carrefour mall ^^

Mini of Doom (I mean, the driving standards were pretty appalling, but this was just mental...)

All hand-crafted and decorated.

Fishy fishy fishy... (Apparently symbolic of prosperity. Or something. Not painted by me [obviously])

Bird + leaf. By me ¬.¬ The other birds (and second leaf) were t3h cr4ppeh ergo they have been, ah- removed :b

And finally, the only damn thing 'm proud of and it got squashed [made of card] and ripped in me luggage -.-
Apparently the detail makes it vaguely Japanese... I didn't wind up in the wrong city - nevar!

Deliciously yummy things I had the good fortune to eat, interspersed with the art of Lets-Make-Something-Artistic-for-Breakfast-with-White-Steamed-Bread (Ai Nid a Ho Bei):

Swirly!

Coffe parfait at the Chinese equivalent of Starbucks ¬.¬

Flutterby!

Given a choice of Ambrosia or these...? Decadently gorgeous gateaux for dessert at the Closing Ceremony <3

(Beijing) Photos VII - Architecture

2007-08-11T18:44:49Z

View framed by window from fifth floor of Highschool of Peking University where we stayed.

(Secretly not the CN Tower from the bus window...)

...Apparently something to do with TV. With or without a revolving restaurant, I'm not sure.

And the thirteenth floor corridor. At night. Oh dear. But there were no young children called Danny and creepy looking twins did not put in an appearance; although, I did find an abandoned tricycle on the fire escape . . .

(These three from the part of the Forbidden City annoyingly under construction)

And finally, I couldn't leave Paris (where we had to stop off on both flights) without snapping the airport architecture... Quite sad, really ¬.¬

OMG o.o It's a tiny giraffe! Sitting on a Mushroom!

On the theme of bunnies - it's a bunny-shaped cloud!!

Robot!

Keep your (purple) hair on - it's been and gone. It just classifies as weird. (And I made it, so it must be ¬.¬)

It's the Robot again!! Look! It defies gravity only to vanish :o

(From a UV Light installation at Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany)

~~(Yes, the lower lip is too dark, I know)~~. The original was drawn on the back of a children's menu/place holder in some restaurant in the space of about 20 min...

Detail from above. Available as an icon if anyone wishes to indulge my vanity u.u

Surprisingly drawn from direct observation (the fountain, not the blood/wine) - at some random manor in a place called Ashridge. Unsurprisingly turned two-dimensional x.x

Yay! Library Book-Cover-Competition! I'm only sorry I don't have a scan of the finished thing - it was so psychedelically bright o.o

Card for someone since left (and yes, I know the fingers are too short) 4ngst.

From Kew.
