Mamiko has moved to my room. It is economical
for us to live together.
Then we went to Hampstead Heath. There is a park on the hill, and you can
look over London city. It is absolutely luxurious
place, isn't it?
We brought handmade sandwiches with us, and
enjoyed eating and sunbathing there.
In front of us, a family with children open
the basket and took bread, salad or chickens
from that. Some people were lying down to
get tanned, and some were playing baseball
game. Every one looked happy.
We left the park and went to the main streets
of Hampstead, then we found the crepe shop.
We followed the queue for crepe, and bought
a marron glace & cream crepe. Delicious!
When we got back home, all said that fire works would be held at Victoria Park.
We went to see it, but in fact, I didn't
expect too much. Because I thought fire works
is a kind of Japanese tradition, so that
British fire works would be inferior.
When we arrived in the park, already
many
people gathered, and the police as
well.
And fire works started. Soon I was moved
deeply.
It was different from Japanese one which
is a sequence of sky rockets.
British fire works are combination between
fire and music.
Jazz music by solo saxophone was played while
a blaze was up. While drums were beat, glaring
flames were circling. And synthesizer music
was played for sky rockets.
We often said, "great, isn't it?"
It was really impressive event.
| 24.June.Sun. Sunny my old friend |
While I was going to Piccadilly Circus, I was nervous and afraid. Because I would
meet my old friend, Mayuko. She was a friend
in junior high school, and we hadn't met
since she moved to Tokyo. After that, we
are just mailing, and e-mailing each other.
This time, I've got a mail she would come
to London and Paris for a trip, then we decided
to see at Piccadilly Circus.
I found her, "Are you Mayuko, aren't
you?"
"Ah!" she expressed surprise.
We went to pub.
"It is fifteen years since we met last.
Now, we met at Piccadilly Circus in London.
That was incredible! Fantastic, isn't it?!"
We talked about London, job, boyfriend and
so on.
In fact, she influenced me very much;
she
studied in London before, and has a
desire
of working here.
I've heard the story in e-mail from her,
then I decided to come.
I thanked for her.
Any way, cheers for reunion!
