Shoes at Selfridges

There are two towers in the field of show window display in London. One is Harvey Nichols, the other is Selfridges, I think. It is all about shoes at Selfridges at this time as they have just open the new shoes gallery. There are full of stories in the windows. The designer must be a genius or a gay person.

Opera

I got a standing seat for Rigoletto which was the cheapest ticket. When I found the seat (actually standing point) everything was clear why it is cheapest. Luckily, luckily there was one empty seat waiting for me so I could rest my legs for 3 hours musical journey. However, the stage is still far away down the bottom and the seats around the stage, there were all posh people. I felt I became Cinderella at the party. Anyroad, it was great performance. Londoners are lucky to listen the best opera at under 10 pounds if they have strong enough legs.

I was also proud of the singer Wookyung Kim for Duke at the night.

Good Bye

I have decided to leave London after a month and I already miss London at the same time. What can I see more in a month time? I now take a picture of everything with my eyes not a camera. The most regretful thing is that I haven't had a date. I wanted to walk along the southbank, have a tea on the top floor of Portrait Gallery, have a picnic in the park, cycle on the street, go a pub, take a boat on the River Thames... I might miss London or miss Love.

Oasis Glory 2010

2 October 15 years ago, the Morning Glory album came out. 15 years!!! I feel I became too old.

The scene of the street is still the same. 'London is preserved'. This is one aspect what I like here. I feel this street would be kept in another 15 years.

@ Berwick St., Soho

Yellow in the sky

The new shoes galleries have arrived and I think the grey sky has arrived in London.

Try something new today

I found an exotic fruit which I had to ask how I eat. It is called prickly pear, also known as cactus fruit. Lovely vivid magenta colour but tastes bland. It prickled my hands too. One more try? Maybe.

Regent Festival

The whole Regent street was closed to encourage people do more shopping on last Sunday and it is called Regent Street Festival.

London Design Festival

This is the centrepiece of London Design Festival this year. This half sphere is completed by twisting with the other one. A sphere combined a helix.

@ Covent Garden

Human friendly yellow

What a great system in London! When every time I stand under the yellow light, cars automatically stop and allow me to cross the road. This light shows how London focuses on humans than cars. Drivers should have big patience here.

Full Moon

The full moon will bright my wishes. Let's celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival!

London Fashion Week 2010

Devil Wears Prada, Sex and the City. Every fashion people are enjoying the week. I was almost watching a magazine in the flesh.

Outrace

The large-scale legs in Trafalgar Square are loaned from Audi's production line. The amazing thing is the fact that they are saying something using their flashing feet. You send a message on the website; www.outrace.org , the legs will draw it. These are filmed and sent to your e-mail. It is a good chance to be romantic I suggest.

Open House; Leighton House

Open House is one of the best event through the year in London. You get to know your area or city better. I also feel like being invited someone's personal place with welcoming mood where normally closed. This year I visited Leighton House near my place. Probably I wouldn't think of looking for it if there were not this kind of event. This house is a hidden gem in my view. The space is so rich and well connected. Each room has got own concept. There is only one bed room in this great big house because the owner did not have intention to make a family. It is rather a studio. The narcissus hall is stunning. Must visit. This building is actually open to public as it is a museum.

Pope's visit

@ Holy Trinity Brompton

Alice in Wonderland

The door is already big enough for me and Alice.

Today is not London but Oxford. I just took my bike on the coach and went to Oxford suddenly. There was 'Open Day' so I luckily had a chance to see the antique buildings in free of charge. It is a cosy town for cycling as I rode back and forth on the same street again and again and again... People seemed to be happier than in a big city except the lady in Alice Shop. I saw group of handsome guys who must be a student here. God is not always fair. At the time when I left there, it was almost empty and dark. This is another difference from London.
