ai shiang: i’m thinking they are readily available everywhere! insects like crickets are supposed to be a source of calcium and protein.

susanne: haha that’s a good one.. i guess u’re not too big a fan on having insects for a meal.

That makes me wonder, how on earth did they manage to find that big amount of insects

Good as snacks? Perhaps those insects are good in some sort of vitamin or mineral huh? Like perhaps calcium? Just a thought.

Londoncaller: used to stay in Bayswater, so would walk across Kensington Park to Queen’s Gate and cut through Prince Consort Road. Would be a 1/2 hour brisk morning walk. Enjoyed walking when the weather was good… get’s a bit chilly when it rains in winter. Ahh so u’ve been moving quite a bit around london. which field are u working in – i guess sometimes career ops can be better there depending on the area of work – as long as u enjoy life there!

IC? It’s quite a long walk from Exhibition Rd to the park!
I went to UCL.

Not sure. I didn’t intend to study, work and stay here THIS long.
Would like like to go to Japan one day.

I move a lot! From Ealing to Hammersmith.
Now in Southwark! I can see the Big Ben from my flat!

These are exotic street food. The beetles looked scary to munch on. I would try the fried grasshoppers though…out of curiosity. Did you eat those fried insects?

I wouldn’t tried those fried insects. They remind me on how they hop and fly around me when I first look at your photos. However, I like these set of photos as they all look just beautiful, sharp and bright.

WOW! The tin can is rusted! The sticky rice in hollowed bamboo stick is my favorite! A tasty food (in Malaysia) served with Malay curried meat known as ‘rendang’.

Cheers!

Wow! Have you tried them? how it taste??

By: London Caller

London Caller — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 23:09:01 +0000

Those insects look yummy! Ha ha…
I’d definitely give it a go.
Perhaps, just one from each tim.
I heard that insects are actually rich in protein.

What a shame! They don’t come in KFC-style! Ha ha…

Re: Why is English language so important?

Which college did you go to in London?
Hyde Park is huge! Takes a while to walk through it… I tried it once! ;-p
