[kwaichi]

@sf2explus i don't even remember what i said. could you refresh my memory please?

[Re9ap9er9]

Neal Street AND Neal's Yard have changed so much. Still nice to be there, but at the same time, it's become so commercial. I guess it was inevitable.......

[kwaichi]

@Re9ap9er9 i will cover camden in the near future :)

[Re9ap9er9]

@kwaichi Great! Thanks, Kwaichi. Love your videos; keep up the good work........:)

[Re9ap9er9]

Camden is also a great place to blow all of your cash; London! Best city in the world!!!!!

[kwokyer]

[Re9ap9er9]

I will always love Covent Garden; it used to be my second home..............

[BritishEnvy]

Wow, they had a gathering around this time? Omg, I was there around this month, I remember seeing Hot Fuzz when it came out. But then I went back to the States (where I'm originally from).

[kwaichi]

hot fuzz was a bit of a damp film :)

[kwaichi]

[Notterrancehill]

[kwaichi]

i was there the other day and still didn't see a tin tin shop

[JuliesseUSA]

[j93barca]

i have been there last month with school! i love covent garden! one's in my life i will go to that place again!

[kwaichi]

was your school in the uk or abroad?

[j93barca]

no I live in belgium, the country above France and on the left of Germany. it was a school trip for a few days.

[tutorialconr]

I love the butter Naan Bread.. In india its called Roti or Parantha

[kwaichi]

[tutorialconr]

[kwaichi]

you have a bright sister :)

[tutorialconr]

Yea.. I am Indian and m going there day after... Glad you showed the best Indian restaurant. will eat there =)

[kwaichi]

it was my favourite back then but not my favourite anymore

[bac9900]

In fact I would like to know why is it that Kwai pronounces /kon/ when he says Covent?Is this the typical pronounciation in England?As a Brazilian I can only count on you English to help me out.Thanks

[kwaichi]

originally the place was a convent which is why i call it convent garden. You are correct though.

[yuenj01]

i love london, jst love the life of london.

[kwaichi]

are you in london?

[yuenj01]

no, im not. i live in portsmouth but i will visit london like 2 - 3 times a year. how long hav u been living it london?

[kwaichi]

I don't live there anymore. I lived there for about 5 years

[lumpfish99]

does the bead shop still exist?

[kwaichi]

it was there yesterday :)

[TheBestShortwave]

Wait... Is it really pronounced "coNvent"? I'm going there in about a month, and I don't want to sound like the typical dumb American when I pronounce "Greenwich" or "Southwark" wrong.

[kwaichi]

either way is fine. covent garden was originally a convent.

[Bouncyboox]

its covent garden not coNvent garden!

duh!

[kwaichi]

sorry about that

[SplitIllusionOnline]

MY COUSINS WRKS @ ZAKS XD

[kwaichi]

cool. do i get a discount?

[Hellonoob1234566]

i wanna live there Abroad i think thats how u say it.. just for about 2-3 months :)

[littleredsquirrel87]

I miss London SO MUCH!!! Covent Garden is one of my favourite places in the world. I wish I was there now :(

[0239512057steve]

well i'm going to england this summer- should be fun- by the way, great sense of humor!

[Hellonoob1234566]

HAHA why even go to that shop just go and print it out AHAHAHHAHAHA

(the non-copyright shop)

[shadowkitty56]

Ummm, a-c-r-e is the way it is spelled in American English. (Rule of thumb: latin based words like "centre" have an -er ending in AmE.)

[pantoffeldiertjelisa]

i've been there for ten days, in the covent garden area, and it felt as if I was back :oD thnx so much!

[dbatecase1]

excellent videos of things to do in London. Do as many as you can of different areas in London. Perhaps even ones you might want to avoid as a new commer, or anyone in that case

[smallboysam01]

woo :) i used to go pinneaple every week for dancing.. now i go at cannons health which is just around the corner.

[ninayari]

[JeanneHoffa]

[cookiecamp]

that was quite good

[3Elvis]

Hi there kwaichi,

Thank you for the tour! Haven't been to London for quite a while so it was like being back for 15 minutes and six seconds ;o) (For a better quality you just push the reduce-button on the left under the screen or at least that's one way to gain it ;o) )

[wishceska]

What's in 'Convent' Gardens? Nuns?

What an interesting man!

[SquirrlZCH]

@TomTheEntertainer

"Convent Garden", later corrupted to Covent Garden as we know it today.

[TomTheEntertainer]

Lol :P

[TomTheEntertainer]

the thing is-at the begining he say CONvent garden instead of the actual name COVent garden...

[holls247]

I love Covent Garden! I used to go shopping and eat here all the time. Thanks for the memories!

Yeah, he did say Convent Garden. Haha.

[sonyablack]

Dude, very entertaining/informative thank you! And keep doing these plz! :)

[tom441015]

Good videos - Your a cool funny guy..

[ctbaybee]

how perfect is that? i'll be going to london in june and although i've already been for 2 days, i didn't really get to see covent garden well. i'll be staying in that area so your guide was increbily useful. thanks! p.s. i was hoping to find a good indian restaurant in the area and now i know where to go!

[TrelleborgtheLegend]

thank you for that video you are a cool guide!

[paulinhangra]

Ok then. But I think the videos are good the way they are.They show the streets and if there were any kind of cutting, well we couldn´t see exactly how to get in these places.And for me, they´re excellent because, as I am an English student I can practice my listening and I feel like I am over there. :)

[SteveDurnin]

Could do with cutting.

[paulinhangra]

well,very nice place!I would like to go to London one day.I´ve listened when he spelled A C R E.I don´t know if there´s something to do with Brazil but there´s a state here that´s called Acre.

Anyway,this is a very nice video!

[SteveDurnin]

There's a street called Long Acre passing through Covent Garden. Nothing to with Brazil.

[freedom232x]

excellent excellent blog/vid! i go to covent garden once a week for a walk and look around great places. its my fave part of london. go if you can!!

[freedom232x]

ok you know its COVENT garden not!! CONvent garden..? lol ;-)

[petermelhag]

What a relief! I thought I heard it wrong, but I can swear he says "convent", not "covent".

[kwaichi]

i plan to do so :)

[Yanitube]

Hehe..most peculiar thing just happened.. as you entered the Covent Garden market I said "wooo" at the time you did...LMAO

[kwaichi]

haha lol! that's funny :)

[keepitdownlo]

kwai chi r u a fanny of chelsea football club or just a fanny?

[kwaichi]

i'm a gunner all the way!

[Guillgaiete20]

thankx for showin London I have always wanted to see London I have a friend from Basingstoke (however its spelled) and I would luv to visit England....thas city looks mad hype though cheers!

[kwaichi]

come along!

[Guillgaiete20]

thas quite a ways away from L.A. (and im in the middle of revising for midterm exams :(

[moom333]

Not too sure about turning up, as I have zero videos. I'm only up in Harrow, though, so it wouldn't be difficult.

Maybe I'll just stalk you all.

[kwaichi]

you should come! the more the merrier!

[GiullarediDio]

The outdoor walkabout is a more exciting format than the indoor vlog. Btw, it sounded like a phantom 'n' was creeping into your pronunciation of 'Covent' at times - did you see any nuns there?

[kwaichi]

that's my bad habit! Thanks for the suggestion. More outdoor vids to come...

[theBigTakeover]

Covent Garden is one of my favorite places in London. So much good food.

[kwaichi]

true

[madbob73]

Kwai, is there any chance of a Soho vid sometime? Or do you not frequent that area quite as much ;) Hehehee...

[kwaichi]

I ran out of space. i will do one there soon

[DrLemur]

If I've learned anything Kwai it's that there are a LOT of shit restaurants in London and to avoid cabbys :) Thanks for the warnings!

[kwaichi]

restaurants in central london don't really have a problem of customer retention as they can just look nice and display well to gain large footfall. With all the money spent on that the quality of food goes proportionally the other way!

[DrLemur]

If I ever finally get to London, your the man I'll be asking about where to go for food :)

[kwaichi]

no problems!
