Last week I have completed the first part of our trip – Paris in 5 Days – Itineraries & Highlights. I am so glad that the responses have been great so far. It seems like a lot of our readers are planning a trip to Europe this year. May I now present to you “London in 5 Days – Itineraries & Highlights”
We enjoyed London a lot, mostly because of our friends who live here. My BFF Joanne and her boyfriend Guan are real foodies and they know their way around. Guan is a famous food blogger in London, he runs his own supper club at home and he recently contested in “The Taste”, a competitive reality television cooking show. So rest-assured we were so well-fed with some of the best cuisines in London. Read his blog here for some of the best recommendations in London, and even around Europe.

Hello!
I just came across your blog and i gotta say i love it!
However, is there a reason you did not mention the prices of the places, and the hotel that you stayed?
I’m planning to travel, but I’m not sure how much money i should take. Could you help me? How much did you spend if following your kind of itinerary to Taipei and Europe?
We are planning a trip to London and Paris end of this year, i think it might be just a good fit to refer to this 5 days London itinerary and your Paris itinerary:)
Thanks for sharing!
Simon Lee
have fun in europe! 🙂
How much is the estimated budget for a Europe trip?
about 20k for 2 pax 🙂
