The one about London
I love London. Been there twice in my life and I loved every moment of it. Such a vibrant city and since I always love public transportation (C’mon, it saves me from driving for hours. Driving is killing us, people), I really enjoyed riding the Tube. Sometimes I even took a ride from the farthest station on one side to the farthest station on the other side just for the sake of it. And I love the building, the park (Hyde Park is amazing!), the small alleys (with some ghost stories accompanied many of them) and don’t forget the history of this amazing city.
So the news today is quite disturbing. My condolences to all the victim of the blast and their family. But London and Londoners are always strong, they survived the Blitz and the years of IRA bombing. Keep strong London and Londoners, my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you!

Imagine to having witness the catastrophic event such that just a night after euphoric jubilation of London’s successful promotion to win the 2012 Olympic bid. Well, what if that bechanced you twice? That happened to an Australian tourist, who was at the sight of 9/11 that very biblical moment and London seeing all bare eyes. He admitted he would need psychiatric aid “It has been long overdue. After 9/11 I didn’t seek for any help”- he’s now being interviewed live on my local tv channel. His eyes brim with tears and restrained facial expression when depicting the carnage, the blown up double-decker bus and mutilated body bits while i was eating up my regular noodle dinner. It’s just really saddening and sickening all in once to see people would take some insensate, destructive actions for getting their intention across. There’s no place in this world for inhuman being of such.
Yes, it’s really catastrophic since the bombing took place just several days after London was choosen as the host for 2012 Olympic.
My deepest condolescence (hey… did I spell it right?)
never go to london yet. but I hope there someday
Me too: public transportation is very important thing for living in big (and bigger) city. I love them very much. While in our country, Indonesia, people get desperate with traffic jam while they use public transportation, in Western people get worried with terrorism attacking.
Whatever their reasons, killing and wounding innocent people are nasty accident.

Turut berduka cita, atas kejadian bom di London. Semoga semua yang mengalami musibah & keluarga yang ditinggakan dapat memasrahkan segala sesuatunya kepada Sang Pencipta.
