I do not really hate Mondays. I must say this one has been half as
productive as I wanted it to be. I guess things cannot always go the way we
wish they did, but well in a few weeks, I guess I will be missing those long
and eventless days.
It was not so eventless to be honest. Finally got a phone number and got
to visit one of the biggest malls in Europe: Westfield Stratford. It is nothing
like the one I have in Lyon. This one is opened and you have got space to walk,
it does not feel too small and there is enough space to breathe. It actually
looks like a tiny city inside. It was worth going there!
For those of you who are still skeptical about British gastronomy. Then
you should know that nowadays British can cook. Yes, it is pretty shocking, I
know it but it is. I discovered not so long ago that they appeared to have more
and more chiefs and more cooking books than in France. This is a miracle… Well
this is probably very French to look down on their gastronomy… Anyway, my point
is, that yesterday evening, I have had a sweet surprise while eating, and I
thank Tony for the great food, you really put the level high on that one!
Something I found really interesting to mention as well is their TV
show. I watched this on the TV yesterday about mum giving birth… Well I will
certainly not describe the scenes but I can tell you that it was gross and that
French TV really has its way of protecting our poor little eyes and feelings.
On a more serious note. British
accent is really tough to understand; I heard this northern accent and thought
to myself that it was really tough and disgusting… Though, it was really
interesting to hear the difference from the south. When they pronounce baby it
actually sounds like the French pronunciation “baybay”.
Another interessant day in the UK. I’ll write to you again later for the
sum up of my fourth day in the land of Queen Elisabeth II. Till then, keep up
and mind the gap!
