July 15, London


We went to Portobello where is an antique market sales food and stuff on the stress (it looks like mixing farm market and flea market.) For me there is like mix traditional market, 光華market and night market in Taiwan. I love this kind of market a lot because I like to see how people live in their place/ country, so I think market is a very good place to know more about England. I had so much fun to go round Portobello and enjoy shopping there in very reasonable price. I got some foods and stuff for cook. I plan to go back to there one more time before I leave London.

In England, you can see many signs hang on out side of buildings. Those signages still keep in the old way. such as the tea pot and a little men holds a beer cask. Each shingle is identity a shop. Most of them don't like the way we use light box in US. Howevery, those cute sign make England more older and has some sotry beside it.

This my roommate De Ann, in fornt of a bakery. Because of the reflection, so cannot see well how do them decoration the cute small windows. The way they decorate make cakes more delicious. It seems cakes waving those hand want people to take them home.

This is a shambles. See the window; it still has a lot of curvy lines. This shop looks like has a long history because it seems still keep in old fashion way in inside of store. They use red light to make meats fresher. Also, because need to make people easy to see those meats, the cabinet is made obliquely. Anyway, this is another cute shop.

This is the other cute shop too. Everything sale there has been designed. From the accessory, clothes to kitchen stuff, even a snow shovel. Everything is so colorful and bright. For example, a T-shit has fresh light to show words or a chest make an animal face the handle are eyes and nose. I was wanted to take pictures there, but clerk stops me to do it. This picture is show a little bit window design I took out side of store. It wasn’t clear but still can see a little design of store, such as the graduating lighting design and the butterfly wall painting/ paper.

After shopping these girls were tired and tried to seat on a bench. It seems like De Ann was lose chance to seat on it.

We had a dinner in an Italian restaurant in Charing Cross. The salt and pepper set were so simple just rectangle shape and black and white color but functional.
