Aha! I got to go to Twickenham Stadium to watch some rugby matches on the weekend. I had two sets of tickets for the Worlds 7, and to go both the Saturday games and to the Sunday one (thanks to Groupon UK!), but I only ended up going to the Saturday one as I was tired... I gave the Sunday tickets for Miss Pinky to use and dispose of... Don't know if she used it!
Twickenham Stadium is not hard to get to. It's still in the London zone (zone 6 area) so you can still use your oyster and bus pass!! (^_^)b Just get the SW Train services however it's always packed when there's a rugby game (and during rush hour!), so get there as early as possible!!
Here's some pictures of the outside and the inside...

There were so many matches going on. We watched 6 matches and that included the Harlequins!! Yeah!! Some of the games were really good!! The crowd just loved some of it...Unfortunately the stadium wasn't entirely filled otherwise it would've been extremely fun!! |

| Match 5 or 6... lost count! |
Lots of people dressed up... I don't understand the concept of dressing up during a rugby game. I guess it's just to have fun! (I would be completely embarrassed if I had to do that!)...

After half time we left! We were told by Mr Fly who I haven't seen for over a year and a half, that there was a Korean Festival in Kingston. So Miss Pinky and I hopped on the bus and went to Kingston!!
It was raining when we got there. So we went to find Mr Fly... Then it was back to the Korean Festival when it stopped raining, and to find some food (because I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch!)... Huuuuungry!!

It took a long while for some of the food to come out as they had just run out!! :( So we waited and took some pictures.

Then it was back to Mr Fly's usual pub, The Cocoanut... Miss Pinky played backgammon with him and his father. (I hope Mr Picky isn't jealous that he didn't get to join us, heheh)...

And we also stayed for Thai food!! I haven't had Kai's Thai food for more than a year!!!!! It's still as good :)

It was finally time to go home, and I enjoyed my entire day out and all the food I ate!
