MY KIND OF PLACE -- ABBAS

The United Kingdom

Walk till I drop

I make a trip to London at least once in two years. If you ask me what do I do when I am there. The answer is simple. Just walk, walk and keep walking. And where? At Leicester Square. It's my favourite haunt in London and I feel it is also a walker's paradise. At night and on weekends it is one of the busiest spots in London. Shopping is the next best thing for me. My wife thinks it's really easy to convince me to shop. In fact, I can shop anywhere and everywhere. As for food, I can never leave London without eating at my favourite Japanese joint Waggamama.

Some relaxing moments

For which I head to my cousin's home in Weikfield. The English countryside can act as a balm on your stressed out nerves and mind. The cool, clean breeze and lush surroundings can be truly therapeutic.

For some excitement

I am an adventure freak. Backpacking, trekking, going to the Himalayas on my bike... are my idea of discovering the world. This is the reason I love Europe. It has something for every type of tourist particularly those who like to know the unknown. The people, their lifestyle...everything about Europe makes me feel comfortable. And the best thing is that you don't need loads of money to travel around.

Next destination

Turkey for a thrilling time!
