Kanta in London

Surprise, surprise! Last weekend (27th of April-1st of May) Kanta visited me in London. It was his annual trip to Europe, but this time it was quite crazy of him: just only four days here flying from Tokyo via Amsterdam. We have not done much, just talking, going out and relaxing. On Saturday we saw the exhibition of the unknown works of Monet in the Royal Academy of Arts and walked around West End. On Sunday Costas joined us for the City trip, unfortunately the St. Paul’s was closed so we could not climb the dome but we enjoyed looking at the modern architecture of the city.

See you next May Kanta!

Time is money, certainly true in the City of London. An old clock on the Royal Exchange building. In the background Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest (Tower 42)
