A True story

Few of my Chinese friends go to Uk on an official trip. Southampton. They are put up in nice lil inn. Then its Weekend. Nothing much to do in Southampton. Go to London shall we? Chinese Friends decide to go london. By train.
What do UK trains look like?How fast? better that chinese trains or what? Lets check it out.

Ok, the train station is quite close by, just across the park actually. may be just quarter hour walk, you may as well walk and enjoy the british sun while you are at it...

Chinese friends are game.
Nice green parks in UK, Green even in summer, not a bit of dust. lots of shaddy trees, nice park...nice weather.. [err no.. that would be the comment if they were British]. They walk for 5-10 mins. There it is the station!!!! These brits walk quite slow han! And Its so darn cute!! The quaintest and prettiest station we've ever seen... well, We expected something lil more sophisticated... Britain has this quaintness in the midst of all the development, No? but ok.. quaint is good...

Sir, How much is a ticket to london....
London! hahaha!! Its 2 pounds, Luv! for the Round trip!
(Just 2 pounds!!! psst...This brits are crazy!!!) 6 tickets please.
