  • FRA-LCY

    September 7, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Finally arrived Frankfurt and now in transit to London City Airport. My first time here.

    Had to work in the local airport lounge. It’s not bad.

  • Arrived London

    September 7, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Arrived London. Only one room is ready. I let Derek have it. I came to a bar nearby the hotel and wait for the room.

    What a long trip!! Really need a bed to get refreshed.

  • Trafagal St. James Curio by Hilton

    September 8, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    昨天剛到倫敦,開會的地方都在 Mayfair 一帶,所以找住的地方都在附近~因為畢業了沒有保級需求,選擇廣了很多,反而變成選擇障礙~ 想想以前沒腦的就選 Hyatt 多好!

    用我的私人會所會籍預定了 Carlton Club 的會員房,話說 Carlton Club 是第一任威靈頓公爵成立於 1832 年,有一段時間是保守黨的總部。訂好了過了一個月,心裡越想越毛,不知道會不會住他們的房子,每天睡覺時想著這兩百年的地板上藏了什麼東西~~~~~

    決定還是改住我熟悉的地方好了。 Hilton 的 Curio Collection Trafalgar St. James. Hilton 的 boutique collection. 房間不一定大,但我知道很舒服,地點又好!走安全牌~ 鑽石會籍還是給升等套房送早餐!

  • Fasanara meeting

    September 9, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Most important meeting in London with Fasanara. Can’t believe their office is in the high end shopping center only next to the Sotheby’s. Having a coffee at Sotheby’s waiting.

  • Dinner at Madhu @ Dilly hotel

    September 9, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    After a quick drink at Mason Estelle invited by Akbar and Alastair which is actually quite nice. Mason Estelle is a private club but dress code is casual. And it is ex Hong Kong embassy.

    Then I took Derek to Madhu at Dolly hotel. Tried tasting menu. The food is good! Northern India style. Only too much. No way we could have finished!!Read more

  • Witness for the Prosecution

    September 10, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    中秋佳節快樂!這時特別可以感受到「千里共嬋娟」的意義….

    到倫敦時差中忙錄了幾天,還遇上了女王駕崩,趁著週末壓驚休息一下,特別走了快要八公里來看一部特別的舞台劇 “Witness for the Prosecution” 這是我最愛的作家之一的克莉絲蒂 (Agatha Christie) 最有名的作品之一(如果不特別去算東方快車跟尼羅河的謀殺案吧)… 這部短篇也是多次被拍成影劇戲劇作品..

    這部戲在倫敦有幾個很特別的地方 1)舞台在原來的倫敦市政府所在,政府搬走了,變成了萬豪(Marriott) 酒店跟小戲院 2)這個戲院的舞台很小….. 基本上就是一個法院,觀眾席就緊緊的圍著舞台.. 我可以挑了第一排的位子,到現場感受到壓力了.. 是隨時會被檢察官噴到口水那種距離…

    好好笑,我後方那一區的觀眾被選成了大陪審團…..

  • Paying final respect to the QE2

    September 11, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    I arrived London on 9/7 the same day the Queen was sick in bed and she passed on the following day. I have to emphasize again: I have nothing to do with her death! I love her!

    Nevertheless, as I am departing for the next round of intensive work in Luxembourg, I am here in front of Buckingham Palace to pay my final respect to one of the greatest persons in this century and the last.

    Rest In Peace!

  • Oxford and Cambridge Club

    September 11, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Last day in London I was running some errands. Before going back to hotel to pack, I stopped by the Oxbridge Club just to catch my breathe.

    I can’t say this is my favorite club in the world. It is old and worn out. Yet, it still maintains its classic setup that I feel comfortable with. Hi Location is another big bonus. It is almost right next to St. James Palace which is not far from the Buckingham Palace and the Parks. I went straight to the third floor or the libraries. Found a nice quiet corner by the window and resume my reading.

    Later I stopped by the Morning Room, which is the bar area of the club. They wouldn’t let me use my computer here. So it is a good time to get a pint of Young’s Bitter and a sandwich and see if I can get another chapter before packing time.

  • LUX-ZRH

    September 15, 2022 in Luxembourg ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Flying to Zurich now. We were too drunk last night. All tried to relax a little.

    盧森堡也算是我在歐洲的主場了!疫情前每年都得來幾次. 疫情後這次三年來第一次來,還是非常的熟悉,連在貴賓室都知道那個地方要轉彎,東西在哪裡!在歐洲已經沒有疫情的痕跡了,真心希望台灣香港都可以慢慢放開!

    這裡是盧森堡國際機場唯一的貴賓室,我用 Priority Pass Select 帶了兩個人一共三人進來等起飛. 食物就真的是很傳統的中歐式冷盤,雖是冷盤,但其實滿好吃的!酒也很好! — traveling to Zürich, Switzerland from Luxembourg Airport VIP Lounge.
