Today we spent the whole afternoon in Regent and Oxford Streets.The picturesque of London is always about red, from the famous red bus, the red postbox to the red phone box.
It was quite crowded in Oxford Street today since it’s a public holiday. Looking at the huge number of shoppers around, us inclusive, we are clearly living in a very materialistic world. It seems that when in London, everyone becomes obsessive shoppers and that we must spend, spend and spend. From the many adults pushing their kids to buy toys that the kids don’t really want, to grown up teenagers who just want to catch up with the latest trend, but then that is part of living in this modern world.
Three things I learnt today.
1) Hamleys claims to be the finest toy shop in the world – do not necessarily agree. Although the shop got 6 floors of latest gizmos and toys, the place is too cramped and too crowded.

2) You can put stamped or franked mails in London – the evidence is there inthe photo. I fully agree.
3) It can rain hails in London in early spring. Agree. That was what happened today and we had to take shelter for sometimes to get away from the painful rain of hailstones. You can see the small white stuff on the pavement - that's hails.
