Before continuing me walk on the Southbank, I went to the "London Eye" ... located between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge ... it was opened to the public in the year 2000 ... yes, that long ago ...
Our "Eye on Malaysia" was opened in 2007 in Titiwangsa Lake Gardens and was later moved to Malacca in 2008 ... the "London Eye" is 135 metres tall whereas ours is merely 60 metres ...
... The "London Eye" ... it is the biggest Ferris wheel in Europe ...
... aahhh-CHEW!!! and the "Eye" ... got a pretty Japanese girl to snap for me ... *wink wink* ... the "London Eye" was officially opened by the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on 31 December 1999 ... and opened to the public on March 2000 ...
... click to play ... a video clip of the "London Eye" and its surrounding ... videotaped using me Olympus FE-300 ... the colour came out like it was taped in the 60's ... ahahahaha ...
... the River Thames and the "Eye" ...
... the eye pods on the Ferris wheel ...
... people stand in the eye pods instead of seated down ... not sure about our "Eye on Malaysia" ...

... a panorama view of the River Thames, Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament from the eye pod ... click to see bigger version ...
... another panorama view from the eye pod ... click to see bigger version ...
Now, I have visited both "Eyes" in Malaysia and in London but I have yet to ride one ... well, you know why ... what??? ... don't know??? ... aiyah, you know laaaa ... the fear that once I got into one, the Ferris wheel couldn't start at all ... or worst still, it'll stop half way through ... ahahaha ... lifes are at risk, you know ... ahahahaha ... aahhh-CHEW!!! .... well, bbbrrrrppp, excuse me ... ahahaha ...
