We went Oxford Street for shopping – H&M, Gap, Mark & Spencer…
So cute… but we didn’t get any baby clothing as we didn’t know our baby’s gender then.
We were chased out of Mark & Spencer while shopping… Most stores close at 6 PM on Sundays! That’s so early! Following our itinerary, we were supposed to have dinner next but we were still quite full. JR suggested that we proceed to Chinatown for sightseeing before having dinner.

Chinatown in London is around Gerrard Street which consists of Chinese restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets and other Chinese businesses.
The area is quite small and we finished walking around in a short time. As we were still not hungry, we 打包 the famous Roast Duck rice from Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant. The restaurant was very crowded and there was a long queue waiting outside. We didn’t have to wait too long because we ordered take away.
Taking the tube back to hotel.
