...memory

I've been in London for a year now. There is much to see and much to do. If only I had time, lots of money laying around collecting dust and good company. But nonetheless, I did try to enjoy myself this bygone summer. Let me see I went to Shakespeare Global and saw Othello. The play was absolutely brilliant.
The theatre was very medieval. It looked exactly as it would have been during Shakespearian time. There is even a "standing" area. Where commoner once stood to watch the play. The play was 3 hours long. There is NO way I was gonna stand 3 hours straight. I got myself a seat at the seating area. Apparently, my sits was "obstructed" viewing, so I only paid 1/2 what it is. The obstruction was a very very small pole that didn't really block my view whatsoever. I was very happy. I remember when I was watching the play, someone next to me asked "Do you understand English?" I was quite taken back by the question and I answered "I studied English literature." I think this question is up there with the "are you adopted question?" I've been asked once.

It was open top and it got really hot. We were given this paper that turns into hats, its really cute. Well I cooled myself with a nice soft ice-cream which I pay ridiculous amount for but hey the ice-cream car was cute...


It reminds me of Butchart Garden and Q.E. Park morph into one but with this really weird Japanese tower smack right in the middle. I also went to Kew Garden. It just a botanical garden. It is a very nice place to have a picnic.

The Orange restaurant looks pretty nice place to have high tea. More random picture of Kew Garden... It really does look like Q.E. Park.











How can we forget Wimbledon. Yes, I went to centre court and No. 1 court just days before Wimbledon started. The place was magnificent.... if u are a tennis fan. But the grass, wow, it was sight itself. Every strand of grass was perfectly spaced out, perfectly colour, perfect height - just perfect.
