London - the rain, the fire alarm and the ribs ...

It was good time for visit London - in Poland -15 degrees (in Warsaw), in London +10 and partly sunny weather. Honestly speaking sunny weather was only two days in the morning - the rest time it was raining. Precisely speaking I visited Reading, which is nearly 40 miles away from London.

In this building we had a training
One day in building was fire alarm - all people in the building had to leave the building (all six floors), and had to spend some times in the nearest garden. It turned out it was trial alarm :)

In the lift - in the case of emergency you have an opportunity to call :)
  The training was very intensive - I visited London only once - it was evening and it was raining.
  I went by train - I bought the ticket with Travel Card which allowed me to use train and underground.

  I was little bit surprise, because rainy weather and low temperature didn't keep people away from walking and jogging - the streets was  full of people :)

In Angus Steakhouse I had an opportunity to taste the ribs - wow, BIG ribs - delicious. The breakfast is not necessary the next day :)

Definitely I have to return to London for longer time ...

Lisbon in the films


For all who likes or loves Lisbon it could be interesting to watch films which show this exciting city …

Amalia
Film about the greatest fado singer 

Imagine

Lisbon Story

I recommend to listen soundtrack from this film - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJTQdi2Aqn0


Mysteries Lisbon


Night train to Lisbon


House of the spirits
In this film Lisbon plays a role of Santiago de Chile, so the film is about Chile not Portugal, but Lisbon is presented in this film :)

Last information - the Portugal government is talking with Woody Allen and try to convince him to create his next film in Lisbon - I keep my fingers crossed :)
