I used to go to a ballet studio near this pub, so I often passed by.
I always wanted to go inside!
When my partner's friend visited us from France, we decided to take her to this pub for lunch as it is very English!
I was thinking to have British pub lunch in a British pub, but this pub was actually Thai food restaurant!
Apparently, it is the first pub in London to serve Thai food.
I ordered Pad Thai (Right) as a staff said it was the most popular menu there.
Sweet and spicy noodle, it was delicious!!
My partner's chicken dish was very good too!

I went to see ballet which I really wanted to see!
I always thought that English National Ballet has lots of great dancers but they often do only classical ballet, and dancers couldn't get many solo parts.
Finally I could see them in contemporary work and specially, I really wanted to see Neumeier's Spring and Fall, so I was really excited to see it.
Specially "In the Middle..." was sensational in its world premier, many people love the ballet.
It's ballet, but dancers just show amazing skills and steps in an electrical sounds.
You can't take your eyes off from their movements.
Each ballet was fantastic!!
Above all, I could see dancers in the full of life.
They should do more contemporary works! (Specially Roland Petit's! lol please.)
See below for the cast list.

Cafe du Soleilのゆかさんが滞在中、買付のスケジュールに一日だけゆっくりできる時間があり、
ゆかさんがV&Aを見たいということでサウスケンジントンへ。
で、ゆかさんがV&Aにいっているあいだ、私たちはお隣の自然史博物館へ。
というのは、実は私、今年で在英10年になるというのに、
自然史博物館だけはまだ一度たりとも足を踏み入れたことがなかったのです。
まわりに人たちがこぞって「すばらしい!」を連呼する、噂の博物館へ行ってきました。
While my Japanese friend was staying with us, she wanted to see the V&A museum, so we went to South Kensington.
While she was in the V&A, we went to the Natural History Museum as I had NEVER been there since I came to the UK 10 years ago!
The exhibition was.....ok, for me.
I think I expected too much as everyone said that the museum is so great.
I thought this is one of the best museums so that they have amazing display or something....
Specially the cocoon section.
It was the section of insects and plants.
The building was so modern that I expected something very amazing, but .....
Having said that, I have no idea of amazing display!!
I heard that special exhibitions are very good.
I prefer art or something enjoyable with eyes, so I wasn't so amazed with the museum as I didn't read any explanations.
One of the interesting exhibition was "Supermarket in Kobe" in Red zone.
Kobe is the name of part of West Japan.
I wonder what it is, and suddenly the museum started shaking!
It was the reproduction of Hanshin Awaji Earthquake disaster in 1995.
I clearly remember the earthquake as I was awake that time somehow (5:46am!) and eating sweets in my bed.....
Although my house was far away from the epicenter, my house was quite old, so it was really shaking a lot.
The strongest shaking ever I felt in my life.
So, actually I felt a bit scared in this exhibition of Kobe Supermarket. lol
Europeans, of course my partner too, don't know what earthquake is like,
it would be nice to show how the earthquake is to let them understand.
People who experienced a big earthquake might feel scared though.....
By the way, when my partner just came to UK from France, he lives near here.
He couldn't speak even a word in English to buy a sandwich at a shop,
but he came to this museum everyday and read explanations to study English.
(He had never gone to language school here!)
So, this is a memorial place for him.....

The Mad Vintageが、ロンドンのとってもステキなアンティークな音楽ホール、ウィルトンズ・ミュージック・ホールで開催される、
ポップアップヴィンテージフェアに参加します!
ウィルトンズ・ミュージックホールは、このブログでも紹介しましたが、
東ロンドンにある、19世紀のとってもアンティークなステキな音楽ホール。
いまだ現役で、コンサートやマジックショーが開催されたりするほか、映画のロケにもよく使われており、
最近ではロバート・ダウニー・Jrのシャーロック・ホームズ、ドリアン・グレイ、
イギリスのテレビドラマでは珍しく私がはまったDancing on the Edgeにもでてきました。
(Dancing on the Edgeは最近人気急上昇のマシュー・グッドも出てる、30年代のジャズ&ミステリードラマ。ヴィンテージ好きにはたまりません。)
Sorry for the lots of advertisement.
The Mad Vintage is going to join Pop Up Vintage Fair at Wilton's Music Hall!!
Wilton's Music Hall, which I have already written about in this blog,
is an absolutely stunning antique music hall from the 19th century in East London.
It's still used for concerts, magic shows and so on, also used for filming as well,
such as Sherlock Holmes (2011), Dorian Gray (2009), and my favourite TV series Dancing on the Edge.
This antique music hall will be full of lovely vintages!!
There will be a gig, swing dancing, makeup & hair do stand, and of course tea & cake!
It's really worth to see this beautiful building!!
I hope to see you all there!

Recently I have been with buying at big markets, and my friend coming over from Japan, and also my partner had been on holiday last whole week.
So I felt a bit empty right now...
Specially, I really enjoyed spending time with my friend from Japan.
(She is an owner of a cafe & vintage shop in Japan)
She visited me during her buying trip to Europe.
We went to 2 big markets in London.
Usually I go to markets in London alone, so I really enjoyed this time as we could show off our vintage finds afterwards.
We only met 3 times but felt like that we have been friends for a long time.
Thank you so much, Yuka!
由香さん滞在の最終日は家から近いピーターシャム・ナーサリーズへ。
We went to Petersham Nurseries where is not far from my flat.
I really enjoyed the time with my friend, moreover, she taught me how to make a coffee.
(I didn't know the proper way... I was doing quite wrong lol)
Now we can have a good coffee at home!
(Specially Yuka gave us very nice coffee!)
I think we enjoy our home cafe for a while :)
