M: "Shall we go to London to celebrate our birthdays with our friends?"

K: "What??? Are you crazy?!? Isn't that a bit too daring move?"

M: "I found a very cheap direct flight from Singapore and back."

K: "Hmm. Ok, I'll think about it."

So it all began. And now I'm sitting in a cute, small coffee shop, drinking Vietnamese coffee in Ho Chi Minh and thinking about our last week in London. This crazy idea turned into reality thanks to all our friends who came to London to see us and to celebrate not just our birthdays but also our friendship. We couldn't be happier when we counted all of us and came to the number 15! The whole weekend was very spontaneous. During the day we were strolling around the city, had some beer stops in typical English pubs and catching up on what has happened in the last year. On a Saturday night we went out in a club where my favourite party music was playing. I danced almost 10 km, drank quite some gin&tonics and just enjoyed the moment.

All the good things end too fast. It was time to say "See you soon!" to everybody. We still had a few days to discover London before flying back to never ending summer. The weather in London was quite a big shock for our bodies. My skin got very dry, my lips were burning from cold and my body was shouting "Why are you doing this to me???". With not enough sleep, being outside all day, we almost got sick (well, Mario actually did get). Now we are back in summer ready for some more Asian noodle soups, crazy traffic and broken English.
