This Camera is Expensive....

I went to Play.com just now to get myself a 2gb SD Card for my camera so I can take loads and loads of photos next Monday when I attend the British International Motorshow. This is the show that I wanted to go the most even before I arrive England. The SD Card cost me £6.49 with free delivery. I will most probably receive it at Thursday or even tomorrow if fast enough.

Anyway, about the title. After I buy my stuff, I continue to browse through most of the interesting items which I am thinking of buying in the future. I came to the digital camera page and there was more than 350 results. Near to the end, I found out this.

This is the Canon Eos 1Ds Mark II Digital SLR, and it cost freaking £4999.99 while the high street retail price is £6499.99!!!! I can buy a damn car with that price!!!!! Even a used BMW 3 Series with that price!!!! More freaking is that the price only cosist of the camera's body!!! die...

That is the most expensive camera I have ever saw since I know something about camera... Bloody hell this thing really can cost that much only for its body... without lenses. Well, the camera is a 16.7Megapixels which is crazy that it can enlarge anything on your face, probably near to a microscope...

Gee... When can I buy that....

Bakery

Bread, baguettes, cakes, cookies, pastry. The traditional food for European people. It has lots and lots of history and they are still eating now. There are too many types of bread that I still can't recognise them all.

Baguettes, Croissants...

Tarts, cakes, etc...

Oat cookies

Traditional Gingerbread man

If not mistaken, the brown bread with square on is call sour dough.

Cheese

CHEESE~~~!!!!! It is so so popular here that it has tonnes of cheese available in too many sizes and varieties. I really am not an expert in cheese so I just try to capture some of the special ones. I just know that some of them like blue cheese smells very strong and other cheese... I have to no idea... there are cheese tasting at nearly every cheese stall so I tried some. Not bad at all but it is really not cheap.

Blue Cheese?? Is that Fungus??

Goats cheese, for goat milk lovers...

What kind of cheese is that?

What do you think of the price?

This thing here, is one of the new stuff that I know only after visiting Borough Market. That 2 yellow thing is cheese while the grey metal machine is something like a stove, it melts the cheese from the top. When the cheese melts, they scrap it off and spread it on either bread or potatoes... Trust me, it taste really really nice. People are queuing up for it... again... not cheap. 1 portion of toast cost £3 which is so small that you can finish in 3 mouthful. Potatoes and pickles portion will be £4.

Seafood

Seafood, a must for a market. It is exotic usually but you can find cheaper seafood here as well depending on your budget. Alive or dead, they all have.

There we have, clams. They open it and customers just grab it straight away, eaten raw with some lemon juice on it. Many Asians eating though. When I was there, a Hong Kong family was there eating as the clams were opened up. I really lost count of how many they eat but in the end they pay £25 for the 'meal'.
