When I came home, I was told that you could
see a film of "The Gladiator" in a Victoria Park. Then Mamiko and I went there with beer
and chips by ourselves.
There are thousands people waiting the film,
they seemed to be relaxed over drinking and
eating. Some people brought their chairs
or a table.
Every one faced the big screen.
All of them enjoyed the film very much,
some
times they said "wow", and
sometimes
"boo".
I had never seen a film outside, so
it was
really interesting.
Today is a day of "Nottinghill Carnival", which is said to be the largest festival
in Europe
I was told to be careful for my bag from
every body in the office. Then I didn't bring
my bag, but a nylon bag of super market,
in which I had some sweets and water..
The earlier, the better, I thought,
Then
we arrived before noon. Yet, the parade
didn't
start. Besides, it was very cold today.
Finally, the parade started on two.
And this is my honest thoughts; not interesting.
I have seen Halloween Parade in New York,
and that was much better.
I could not stand in such cold street any
more.
In the evening, Mamiko and I enjoyed the
dinner at BusabaEathai , a Thai restaurant.
We ordered a grilled baby chicken, spring
rolls, shrimps food.
We wanted to eat especially a grilled baby
chicken, because this smell was spreading
outside the restaurant.
And our expectation was not betrayed.
We enjoyed these plates with beer.
I think this chef must be genius, talented
and gifted!

Today is a bank holiday, and I met my old
friend Yasuko, who came to London with
her
husband.
First we toured the National Gallery, then
enjoyed tea at top floor in National Portrait
Gallery.
Then we went to Her Majesty's theatre for
the musical "The Phantom of the Opera".
The story is a kind of love story, which
the Phantom of the Opera loved Christine,
a singer.
Yasuko had read this book, so sometimes she
explained the situation.
The stage was really fantastic and mysterious.
