In a walking tour in London three months ago, I was told that in winter Londoners used to ice-skate on River Thames. It was difficult to believe and imagine as the Thames is too wide and deep to be frozen.
The Thames is three times the width of Sungai Klang, which made the story even harder to buy.
London is now at its coldest winter snap with temperatures dipping below -10deg C.
When I passed by Trafalgar Square on Sunday, the fountains were frozen. It was rather unusual. Certainly something I thought would never happen because the fountains were wide and deep.
