Take Me to England, Mister!

Dear Mister,

Imagine this, you wake up in the morning, the first thing that say “Good morning..” to you is delicious smell of poached egg, sausages, baked beans, grilled tomato, and of course, bacon. The sun will perfectly rise with the tea in your mug. Turn on the television, and let George Alagiah bring your morning to the world with his Six O'clock BBC News. Take a bath then wear your jeans, tees and boots. The city is waiting for you..


Mister,

Imagine this, you will walk on the side, road that full of Astons, Rolls, McLarens, and Jags. Those are the mightiest cars in the world. Your feet ride you to Trafalgar Square, City of Westminster. No need to have a kiss like William and Kate did, just take a deep breath and feel the spirit of Admiral Nelson on Battle of Trafalgar. Make a supercool pose and take some photos on Nelson Column, playing around the fountain, and the best part is, feeding the pigeons. Aha!
Do you feel hungry, Mister? No need to worry, I got some of Mister Potato in your backpack. Wait, have you heard about Sir Walter Raleigh? He is a sailor that brought and introduced potatoes into England. He presented it along with the Indians and tobacco from ‘the new world’ known as the America. And today, we can enjoy the potato in many ways. And you, yes you Mister, are one of it.. He’s part of England’s history. Due to his popularization of smoking, The Beatles describe Raleigh as "a stupid git" in the song I'm So Tired on their The White Album.

Talk about The Beatles, do you like them, Mister? I’m their huge fans, specially Ringo Star. Can you imagine that you can stand on their museum? Feel their story, feel their greatness, feel they were around you. Get your self, and just continue the journey to Fab Four's hometown of Liverpool. There will be a building that could’ve make you melt. The place where four young lads from Liverpool were propelled to the dizzy heights of fame and fortune from their humble childhood beginnings. The Beatles Story.

When it was already dusk, get ready for your next heaven. Let your feet ride you (again) to South Bank of the River Thames in London. There is an Europe's tallest Ferris wheel waiting for you.

Mister,

Can you imagine this, you are at an altitude of 135 meters above London. You can see almost every corner of London with your own eyes. You see stars and lights of London. The people, buildings, cars, nightlife and the whole London’s heaven at night. Can you feel your happy heart beat, dear Mister? Yes, you are here. Inside the capsules of London Eyes. The tallest Ferris wheel in Europe. 

Mister,

Imagine, you are such a big fan of the London Pride, Chelsea. And one day, you're taking a walk at Fulham Road entering a pub to join your Headhunters lads on a drink or two. Then, a couple hours later, you're on a march to the great Stamford Bridge with all of your mates. Cheering and stomping while you watch 11 Chelsea players on the pitch fighting for glory.

Mister,

All that you imagined is my dream. My big dream. Something that I pray to God every night. Something that can make me smile and cry in one way. And now, someone that can make it comes true is, you. Yes, you, Mister Potato.
