Tonight as I left the National theater, having witnessed the much acclaimed production of Hamlet, walking by the south bank – the impressive St. Pauls’ commanding the visible skyline of the north bank above the Blackfrairs’ bridge, leaving the signature London Eye and Big Ben behind me … As I walked past street artists at 11PM singing songs about life and spreading the merry holiday spirit as the cold weather dawned on us and people walked around hiding under scarfs and hats … As I heard the loud siren of the ambulance and saw it penetrating through the roads on the north bank … As I savored the memories of experiencing my first theater play, wishing I had a better understanding of Shakespeare’s work … I thought to myself – this must be london!
