Summer Solstice 2009 : the most memorable festival ever




Last Sunday was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. To celebrate and enjoy the day, festivals are annually run in Stonehenge, which is world-renown for the mysterious heritage. As there was a festival, the fascinating event attracted lots of people; hippies, paganists and tourists. The most impressive thing was those participants prepared something, they could do, on their own and performed it. There was no restriction in playing their own performance such as playing the trumpet, the guitar, the African drum and even art football! Unbelievably they made a harmony one another - it was what I hadn't imagined before.

The festival going on throughout the night and the morning, those attendants were absolutely fervent, despite the fact that they were about to run out of their energy - screaming, dancing and music didn't halt at all throughout the festival. What an amazing passion! It made me turn into hot-blooded as well.

I won't forget that moment, which I enjoyed and breathed with those people and the special land, Stonehenge - It is definitely must-visit as long as you're in this country, Britain.

The end of Cambridge CAE course.

The Cambridge CAE preparation's eventually finished after the 3-month course. Getting into and taking this class were like taking up a big challenge at the begining. In fact, it was not that easy-task over the last 3 months, but otherwise, taking this course was such a good decision to expend the horizon of my English - the course catered for the advanced English, which my level of students eager to learn, indeed. Turning up those classes, I felt excruciated frankly, due to the boredom and the high level of class, but the fact that I was ignorant of lots of things encouraged me to keep going. I already did the speaking test in this morning and the rest of my examination is going to be next Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Tube strike


Tube workers going on a strike, my home way became incredibly longer. According to the announcement, it'll have carried on by this Thursday. In terms of yesterday's commuting, I waited for the damn bus for an hour. What's more, I stood up on that crowded and 'cozy' bus for my journey. Cross fingers for all London commuters :-(
