| Harrods |
Harrods is widely known as the most
celebrated store in the world. It is only
proper that one must try their
afternoon tea at the Georgian
Restaurant.
The room holds an English ambience,
with prestine table covers, soft
upholstery, and silver tea sets; the
sight is very welcoming. I considered
selecting the Harrods special blend,
but decided I was more in the mood for
the Assam. Later, the varieties of tea
sandwiches, Harrods scones spread
with clotted cream and preserves, and
the array of tea cakes and
celebrated store in the world. It is only

silver stand arrived. After long
hours of shopping in Harrods, the
thought of having afternoon tea is
something to always look forward
to.
After the sumptuous experience,
we decided to leave through the
women's clothing section. I saw a
familiar-looking man with security
guards by the doors. It was hard
for me to believe that it was really
Muhamed Al Fayed himself!
Since he was only talking to one
person, I did not hesitate to
approach him and I was rewarded
with undivided attention. He even
took the time to shake my hand,
look me in the eyes, and ask my
name. I know he would not
remember me in the near future,
but these simple acts of kindness
were enough for me to like him.
Having tea at Harrods was not
bad at all, and you never know
who you may bump into later.
