Harrods

My friend asked me “Is the memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Al-Fayed, located in the Harrods still there after the owner of the department store had changed?” To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know there is the memorial however I had a chance to go to London on Monday so I dropped by. There is still there:



I also wanted to get the collaboration item “Hello Kitty and Harrods”. I checked it on web site and liked it however the actual item seemed very cheap. Well it costs around 8pounds so it’s not expensive but I can find better quality purse at 100 yen shop in Japan. Anyway I can’t come to London often so I decided to buy it. On the next day I was a bit hesitated to use it because it’s for kids and people may think I’m childish. However the clerk at the shop saw my purse and said, “I like your purse.” Now I enjoy using my new purse.

Hiking

Although it was not warm enough for an ideal hiking day, I enjoyed walking around a lake in a park.

Shopping at Market

Recently I enjoy shopping at Market. The main reason is that I can buy fresh foods. Once I buy fish at fish market, I can’t return to buy them at supermarket any more. In addition, I can buy vegetables from Asian countries which I can’t find at supermarket. Yesterday I went to Market and checked eggs before buying. Sometimes eggs are cracked in a carton box so I always open it and check them. During my careful checking, a man in the shop talked to me, "All packages have 6 eggs each, you can't find seven or eight, love." I laughed and bought one package and then he pointed the other package and said, "If you chose this one, this package has eight eggs in."
