London - October 2015
Yes, I'm in London again. Yesterday I arrived at my friend's place in Bow and we had a great dinner in a pub around the corner. The crowds were a bit sad - England lost against Australia in the Rugby World Cup.
Today I've slept in (heaven!) and visited Tate Modern. Wanted to do that since I used the building and one of its exhibitions in a fic of mine and had some trouble to get the knack of the buildings interior design - there's only so much floor plans can do. Now, I know. LOL
I loved some of the shown art, as modern art is just my cup of tea. Yet, I was suprised that I loved the video installtions the most. All of them were very intruiging and meditative (not kidding).
Tomorrow I'm going to visit the British Museum and am looking forward to seeing the Rosetta Stone for real.
In the evening my friend and I are going to see Hamlet. I've heard good and bad about the performance, the stage, and the production. So far I can only say that everything seems to be perfectly organised and the Barbican's Box Office staff is so very helpful in corresponding emails. And that I love the production's posters - look at my shiny new icon and that lovely little Hamlet. So, yes, very curious how that goes.
There won't be any pictures from this London trip from me. I'm the worst person ever at taking pics - today I forgot my camera in my suitcase. Tomorrow it'll be there again. If you want to see a stage door picture, google it or browse tumblr - thousands of people have been there and done that. If someone's interested, I could write about my opinion on the play and performance - though a lot of people have written about the play, probably more eloquent than I ever could.
Have a good start into the new week!

I'm glad you're having a blast, running around all the cultural sights of the town - if you haven't been already, make some time for Victoria & Albert Museum, I was super-impressed! And National Portrait Gallery, guh! Lovely! Damn, I miss living there. :(
I'm sure Hamlet is going to be a treat! The casting is top class, they'd probably have to work very hard to blow it and if one adds a bit of your infectious enthusiasm into the mixture, I'm sure you'll enjoy your evening very much. Sherlock playing Hamlet, are you kidding me!? They'd have to show commercials for Ariel in the break if they wanted to make it bad! ;)
I don't care about the pictures or the play's script, but I'm interested in your impressions of it, so if you feel like sharing - I'll be all ears!
Waving to you from across the continent *sobs and tries to shove envy under a brave face* - Enjoy your stay. hon! :D

I'd be really curious to know how you like Hamlet, if you feel like sharing. No obligation of course, but I'd certainly read a post about it so I can live vicariously through all the people attending, when I completely failed to buy tickets ;-)
Have a great break <3

Enjoy London, I'd love to be there too. It's been ages since I was there.
