I spent quite good time on Lego when I just started primary school. I could see it just like this, yes…
But these pieces dissappered after my brother was born ( I guess my parents thought that it wasn’t really safe to leave them). Instead though, I got Nintendo, nearly 25years ago!)
As we all know, regent street is the most prestigious, well-established high street in the world. Some say queen own them all (yes all may not be true but some are, I’m sure, owned by her and duke of Westminster!)
For the last few years though, this well known high street has been getting less people (or more people but spending less money) due to the internet shopping. The event like this, without car, only for walker may bring more people on this street. I think it’s brilliant idea, playing live music, serving food/drink, create great atmosphere too. I don’t know whether this event will be the magic bullet for people spending less money online, but will certainly give people exciting/enjoyable experience.
Visited first time one of the UK’s lovely city, Leeds.
Some say nothing interesting there apart from the night life, or Leeds united.
I found it very interesting that new and old archtecual builing are kinda making this city rather nice.
All these buildings have clock… I think having own watch was very expensive then and architect thoughts it would be nice to have clock, as everyone sees the building…?
Now I’m thinking what is good thing to put on the building?
Ad? Yes they are all over the places, but something creative…
Apparently, UK/Japan had 150year relationship and this event (http://japanmatsuri.com/) was the celebration for its anniversary.
I visited there nearly the end of the event, not much food left (if left, long que was there… and we went Gourmet Burger Kitchen… yes it was shame: nothing wrong with the burger, they are nice!).
In the end though, there was Taiko performers (I think they are quite famous one) playing excellent music.

There was also Behihana chef showing some skill with Sausage cutting!

It’s strange to say this but I was quite proud to see/be Japanese after this event.
The event could have been organised little better, bit more entertaining for the visitors (but I guess to make it too commercial wasn’t aim of this event).
