Film premier
Hello friends!
It is well-known that British people like talking about the weather – that is probably because the weather in the UK is so changeable. I was quite disappointed that I have never experienced rainy and foggy weather that people are always talking about during my visits in England. “Just be patient, Mum!”- Csilla told me – "all in good time". Yeah, right! One day we woke up, looked out of the window and Csilla said: "Oh, it is foul weather today!” Yes, the entire day was cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.
In London there is a wide range of activities that you can do. But what to do if you are alone and the weather is bad.
Cinema!!! I bought a cinema ticket but I still had some time to kill before the film. I sat in a tea house and ordered a big cup of tea and watched the people through the window. I enjoy sitting and watching the world go by, or people watching. Then I watched the film, Mamma Mia at the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square. The screening was with English subtitles so it was no problem to understand it. Have you seen this movie? Did you enjoy it? I did.
After the movie I wanted to go to the toy shop Hamleys but a big crowd caught my eye in front of another cinema called Empire also in Leicester Square. I stopped and stood gaping at the film premier of Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. I saw - Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and Jada Pinkett-Smith, who lent their voices to the characters in the film and some other celebrities- football and tennis players with their families etc. As soon as they appeared, reporters crowded round, the flash were lighting wildly. Wow! As I had never experienced such a thing before it was a unique afternoon for me. I took some pictures but some of them are not the best quality as I stood in the middle of a large group of people in the rain and I was not well prepared.

If you are interested, you might take a peek at better photos here. I am standing under the umbrella with red and white stripes.
London is a fantastic city. And I still have not written to you about the days I spent with Csilla, which really was the icing on the cake.
Dear all commentators, blogmates! Thank you so much for spending your spare time writing to me. Your comments are great and I will answer all of them. Please, keep commenting. It encourages me to keep writing. Thanks.
I will write soon, and I look forward to hearing from you soon too. Good night! Take care,
Anita

Hi Arita, You got a wonderful trip in London and England. For the photos you posted, you ought to be carring your camera with you all the time during the trip. Do you take camera with you when you are in your hometown every day? Best wishes, James.
Dear Anita! I do not exaggerate if I say that you have reached the highest level in your writing. It feels like I would read teacher Keeler´s writing. The paragraphs organisation is perfect (by the way I couldn´t remember of that word paragraph, one of the unknown words when I started to read your post in sep.06). You do not have a problem at prepositions (again the word I searched in translator), fluency and in finding something interesting to share with us. Say to us about Csilla´s plans to her future and her experiences from living and studyind in England. Don´t forget: to go abroad means to have good health insurance and protection against exotic infectious deseases!
Hi Anita, This is a message from Iran, far from where you live. First, I'd like to say, I'm so grateful to the BBC website which gave me the opportunity to be familiar to so many people with different cultures and traditions here. Then, I have to say, it's really a pleasure for me getting a chance to read your nice blogs. To be honest, I came across your interesting entries recently, and I'm so happy for that. I also regret that I have lost the chance to comment on your previous blogs. I wish I had seen your entries earlier! You know, I usually after reading the interesting blogs, print out them as references to read them again. Of course, yours are among the best ones that, I hope they could be continued particutarly, about your sweet memories of your trips. Actually, I'd like to write further about your write-ups but, unfortunately the weakness of my English doesn't let me, and what I'm writing is to my knowledge that I'm sure you will forgive me for making the probably mistaes! With best wishes for you and your family. Karoun
Hi Anita, congratulations, your trip to London was plenty of fantastic activities. Speaking about to sit down and watch is a wonderfull activity. Sometimes I make it but I've never done through a window with a hot cup of tea in my hands. It should be the most. Promised. I'll do as soon as I could do it. If you would retur to Barcelona you should go to "Las Ramblas", is the best spot for make this watching exercise. See you, Toni.
Hi Anita! I'm Mahjabeen from Pakistan. I've read your blog today and i couldn't stop myself from sending a comment for the first time on your blog. I fully agree with Marianna that you writing is superb :). While i was reading i thought i'm reading teachers blog-:). And from pics you looks like a very decent woman. I found out that you can share everything with ease and confidence. Ok Anita we're waiting for your another blog. Keep writing and have a nice day!. Mahjabeen.
I have never been to London. I think it is a good city for <a href="http://englishland.or.id">learning English</a>. I find that it is difficult to find English films in this country. Maybe BBC can provide online store where people can buy them. Although weather in Britain change frequently, the British people do not change their opinion on certain issues frequently either.
Thanks for all your contributions. This blog has now closed and can no longer accept new comments.
