Weekend escape to LDN

Our Thursday was a deep bottom shit here and we needed a quick getaway to somewhere else and luckily our London trip was on Friday. We packed everything we needed for a weekend and took early train to London Easton and from there we went to Leyton. Our hotel was so dreamy comparing to place we're currently staying. We had a real breakfast, working tv, bathtub, friendly workers and clean and neutral rooms. Not like this room our hostel workers decided to move us now, even when the deal was that we can move back to our old room again. This room is like kitch bordel. Our walls are hot pink with glitter and some seashell print and electric blue. Our shower is in the corner. Why?
Anyway, we left our luggages in our perfect room and left to city. First we went to King's Cross stationand Harry Potter side. People lined to take picture with carriage. I was happy to get picture only of that carriage. Then we visited Harry Potter store which was quite small but cute.
After King's Cross station we went to Camden Town.
I loved those houses and I loved 50's restaurant we went today.
We spent our evenings while drinking wine and watching Family Guy and some oldie goldie movies like Hulk (Edward Norton<3), Coyote Ugly and The Sweetest Thing.

On Saturday we got little lost when we went to meet my penpal who took us to London's hipster side like this one cool record store and vintage second hand store.
We went to Chinatown to eat and then we wanted to see these basic landmarks as Big Ben and London Tower.
I found out story of the royal dishes. I love the print of those dishes and colors.

Yesterday we went first to Oxford Street but couldnt find anything there. We carried our things around and it was really uncomfortable. I almost got stuck to every ticket gates. We bought ice creams and took train to Baker Street. First I thought that I dont have energy to there but then again, this is the change.

We went again to Camden Town and ate a really good dinner in 50's style restaurant. Then we ran to Easton's station and fought with over full train but at last we arrived to Birmingham.

Today we spent whole day in Liverpool with our teacher and Prague students.

Sulla on mieli täynnä rakkautta ja tappajan kuvia.

Olavi Uusivirta - Paperisiivet

Tänään ensimmäistä kertaa nousin väärään junaan, tai nimi oli oikea, laituri oli oikea, mutta   junan suunta oli väärä. Turhauduin ja ahdistuin kun tajusin ettei tää juna veisi mua oikealle laiturille. En kuitenkaan ollut ainoa kenen kouluun meno oli mennyt päin kettua.

Tavattiin tyttöjen kanssa kaupungissa, kun otin junan toiseen suuntaan ja pääsin lähtöpisteeseen takaisin.

Kierreltiin kauppoja ja mukaan lähti mm. mekko, Sherlockin 3. kausi ja Viciousin eka kausi, villapaita, tuliaisia, pipo ja hiusvärejä.

Käytiin Burger Kingissä syömässä ja naurettiin miten huonosti on tullut syötyä koko reissun aikana. 

Käytiin Oasis:ssa taas ja olisin löytänyt ihanan Morrissey - paidan, mutta koko oli väärä. Perjantaina tulisi lisää, mutta Perjantaina on lähtö Lontooseen pakoon ahdasta kuuden hengen täyttä huonetta. 

Oasikselta lähdimme käymään  kaupan kautta markkina-alueella ostamassa jotain terveellistä ja tuoretta. Hannan kanssa ostettiin luumuja ja mansikoita. Terhi osti viinirypäleitä. Ihana päiväretki taas takana.

Viime yönä kävimme pitkää keskustelua sodasta ja miten vaikea olisi uskoa sellaisen mahdollisuuteen omana elinaikana. Eikä mitään sotaa olekaan vielä syntynyt,mutta jopa pienet muutokset saattaisivat vaikuttaa siihen.
Sodat tulivat uniin saakka ja aamulla oli pakko saada tilanneraportti, mutta netti ei toiminut kellään. Istuimme puoli tuntia ahdistavissa ajatuksissa, vaikka verhojen läpi aurinko loisti iloisen väristen verhojen läpi. Aurinko tuntui tänään kolkommalta, vaikka löysinkin väärästä junasta päivän lehden.

En koskaan halua puhua blogissani poliitikasta tai uskomuksista, koska mielestäni se on jokaisen oma asia ja ihmiset saavat uskoa mihin ikinä tykkäävät. Minun ei tarvitse tietää mihin lukijani uskovat tai keiden blogia itse luen. Mutta tämä Ukraina-asia on kyllä todella pelottavaa.

The Shire - following J.R.R. Tolkien's footprints

Yesterday we had to give ourroom to other customers and stay again in six people room so we decided to do something and avoid it. I made plan before coming to Birmingham that I want visit in Sarehole Mill, place which inspired Tolkien in his books and was his childhood place.

" It was a kind of lost paradise ... There was an old mill that really did grind corn with two millers, a great big pond with swans on it, a sandpit, a wonderful dell with flowers, a few old-fashioned village houses and, further away, a stream with another mill. I always knew it would go — and it did."

Place was magical, even it's only early spring now. I bet it will look even magical on Summer. Too bad the mill is closed now and they make tours on Summer and Autumn. But we went to there we only could.

Going abroad!

This is huge thing to me, because going to Britain has been
