So last night, after having a quick look at the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus & Regent Street, and a long pine in the shops where I can't afford to buy anything at (This currently includes cheapies such as H&M). I met Sasi pie and we headed out to Wimbledon for some crackers... fire crackers that is!
So amid all the things the English really have no clue about, they're pretty well up to play with how to celebrate guy fawkes.
I stood there, pressed up against the fence, with anticipation of fabulous fiareworks, and boy did I get it! I mean, how much of a geek do I sound, but I gasped out loud, and said "OH MY GOD THAT'S SO COOL!!!!" Multiple times! Often in unison with Sara too. We loved it.
It was freezing, it was packed, there were children all up in my bidness, but it was still awesome. And a totally English thing to do.
Every so often it hits me and I'm like, I can't believe I'm in London watching fireworks, with Sara!
After filming the finale of the sky rockets (in flight) set to STAR WARS theme tune, we bustled through the crowd to the FUN FAIR! And jumped on a couple of FUN rides!
It was awesome. Not because the rides were anything to write home about, or the display was the most stunningly executed display ever, but because the experience, all in all, being in London, tubing it out to Wimbledon, wrapping up warm with my scarf and gloves, being with my high school bff, and feeling so dizzy I had to sit down after last fun fair ride, was just so London, it was fabulous.
London has so much to offer it's inhabitants. It's just getting out there and taking advantage of it that's the issue.
This weekend I'm going to do something. I think perhaps an art show. Why not, if it's there, let's do it!
