White Hart Lane: The story

Well perhaps this is a very backdated blog which should have been posted much earlier. But, have been and if I may add still very busy with my studies at the moment. Here is a brief account though:

I and Azlan, who acted as my tour guide, left Oxford around 11.30am on 11/11/2005 to watch the England U-21 v France U-21 match at White Hart Lane.

Upon reaching London, we had a Malaysian lunch at Mawar Restaurant. Azlan really miss Malaysian food!

Then he brought me to take a look at Marble Arch.

He also brought me to see the BPP Law School and also the Lincoln's Inn. As a matter of fact, we even got the chance to visit LSE!

We also took a trip to Covent Market and China Town at Gerrard St before finally making our way to the stadium.

Refusing to take a train or a bus, we walk from 7 Sister's station to the stadium. An excruciating 1/2 hour walk!!!

The match finished around 9.40pm and we spent some time browsing through the Spurs Store until 10pm.

Azlan again decided not to take the bus/train resulting in another 'lovely' stroll to the 7 Sister's Station under the constant barrage of torrent wind.

WE finally got into the Oxford Tube back to OBU at 11pm. I was spent!! I only fell asleep around 2 a.m.

Appendix:

1. The atmosphere at the Lane was amazing. 35k people shouting at the top of their lungs. Majority of them hoping for French 'blood'. Although the utter disrespect for the French national anthem was appalling manners by any standard, the trip to the Lane was a very good experience!

2.Here is another ironic cum hilarious video clip for your enjoyment. Cya soon.
