Perfect Night

You know, I never really socialise in my own town. If I meet people, I always travel into the centre of London; people rarely come to visit this area. But with the right company and just a little knowledge of the area, you can have a great time here.

With my spanking-new Orange phone, I used the Orange Wednesdays 2 for 1 cinema ticket offer for the first time yesterday. Being a Wednesday and not in the centre of London, the cinema was practically empty - a cinema practically all to yourself!

We went to see Crash. On the whole, the film was good. Although I've never been to America, I would guess that the racial issues brought up were a little exaggerated - does every American have so many issues...? In any case, the film raises interesting and serious points, while in other parts there is quite a lot of humour.

Though my mum has given negative reviews on the restaurant, we had a delicious Thai dinner. The waitresses wear cute red and pink dresses and the decor is both welcoming and relaxing. Was the beautiful candlelit table was a lovely touch.

Before going home, I thought it would be nice to take a stroll down by the river, which is not too far away. I love sitting on the bridge, overlooking the winding river. After such a boiling day in London, the cool and gentle river breeze was so refreshing. On the horizon to the West, orange lightning streaked and lit up the sky. It could have been quite a romantic moment.

The rain reached our bridge and the heavy droplets forced us to run for cover. It didn't last for long, however. Five minutes along the river, looking back at the beautifully lit bridge, it felt like the perfect night.
