What a day!

I woke up on Sunday Morning at 8am. The first thought in my mind was my exam in next 2 weeks. But I was sooo tired, try to remember what happened yesterday. It was crazy!

After lunch, I decided to join the walk in my neighboring areas,Bloomsbury. We started the walk in Holborn tube station and it was ended in  British Museum . I knew that Bloomsbury is famous with many British Writers, but yesterday I realised there are sooo many! Virginia Woolf is one of them, but definitely is one of the famous. I was surprised that she was living in the same building, where I was taking my last modules. I also learned that my university (UCL) is the first uni in England that accepted woman student and allowed woman as a professor. Our walk’s guide was very good (thanks god now it is not difficult for me to understand that thick British’s accent hehe). I felt satisfied with the walk.

In the evening, my friend invited me to join him attending the Irish’s music concert. We had light supper first, and if you know me (sure you do!), you know very well who was cooking. We are approaching the summer thus the days are longer. It was still bright when we reached Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith  The opening performance was brilliant (and those 2 young men are handsome too!) and the main band, Solas, was fantastic! One guy can play 5 instruments during the concert. I am jealous. How can people have such talent?

When we were going back to the tube station, I realised that we will have a very interesting night. The new major of London issued the new regulation that ban drinking – and carrying the open container – beverage contains alcohol in the public transportation (tube, bus, train, DLR) per 1 June 2008. As a result, many people (=thousands) arranged party in the tube in the night before, as a protest. I understand that people can drink “responsibly” but if you see what happened yesterday, I also understand why Boris Johnson issued this “unpopular” regulation. The party mostly happened in Circle Line, but the line was cancelled and some tube stations were closed. The crowd then jumped to other lines, including my line. It was interesting to see that drunken peoples can behave differently. Young man from the states asked why I didn’t join the party and show me the pictures that he was taking by his Iphone, as if we are very good friends for ages. And the other groups in  my left side just started the random topic about film and ended up hugging each others because they have similar interest :D Funny. And it was not finish, because when we walked to my accommodation, we show a group of people wearing Batman and Robin costumes and they screamed happily to us :D I think the police and tube officers were very busy. What a day!
