so I walk over to the new globe theater and buy a cheap ticket and am a groundling. the globe theater recreates the original as well as they could and the seats are either wooden benches in the galleries or standing around the stage which is what it was in |Shakespeare's time. I opt for standing in front of the stage as being cheaper and closer to the action. I am a groundling. I get in line early and am right in front with my elbows on the stage and it is very very good as theater should be and I think as shakespeare shold be. afterwards I wander around and then go for a guided walk on the subject of Jack the Ripper and home to bed. Today not sure what I am doing.
Was shocked though by something totally uncivilized. wandering around the town of london area and came across a pay toilet set-up (50 p about $1 Cdn). Can't remember seeing one of those in a long long time.
Bikes Bikes Bikes - see people of all ages and both genders riding bikes around london. clothes range from full lycra to street and business clothes. was standing outside the tube station when someone emerged from the tube carrying a folding bike which he assembled in less than a minute and cycled off on.
