Amazing Race - London (Abbey Road)

I participated in Amazing Race - London Special few weeks before my departure. My partner : Alifah Ahmad Bandaki (aka my tour guide and map reader). Time duration: 2 days. (Amazing race music please) One continent (Europe only), One country (England only) , One City (London only), Countless Pitstops. As soon we got our train ticket, we headed to our very first destination: Abbey Road to receive our clue.

Once there, we were ask to perform the ritual walk across the famous zebra crossing, the scene of The Beatles last most successful album before they handed me the clue.

So there I am. Walking across the zebra crossing. Then facing a webcam that is located adjacent to the road. I quickly called Vincent and wake him up from his slumber. I've a pack with him previously to take photo of me while he's at home online using this site.

Au Yong: Oi. Wake up.

Vince: Emmmm..... Yes. What's up?

Au Yong: You saw me already or not?

Vince: I think so but it's not that clear. Oh wait a minute. I guess it's you and Alifa. I saw already.

Vince: Raise both of your hands.

Au Yong: Ok. Quickly take a photo of me crossing the road.

Me walking across the road....

Au Yong: Can get me or not?

Vince: Hang on. Oi.. Cannot la. You need to walk again.

Au Yong: Huh? Again ah? You think it's my father's road ah? All the cars stop for me to cross le.

Me walking across the road again.... and again for the 5 times at least. I'm sure the motorists are really pissed off with me. But, I guess it's OK. At least, I'm not the only one.

I think the drivers that use the road everyday got used to the antics of pedestrians crossing the road with their legs open wide wide and walk like robot. Task completed. Got my next clue.
