I am a cars freak but I couldn't resist this

This car for those who don't know is called Bugatti Veyron and it is the most expensive and fastest car on earth.
If you have
£880,000 GBP or $1.673,000 US, I guess you can get one, if there is any left.
Okay, all these don't matter, the interesting thing is, I have spotted this car in front of the Dorchester hotel (this is hotel is owned by Sultan of Brunei) in London and it has been parked there for the last 3 weeks.
I couldn't resist to stop and have these photos.
The surprise is, the next day when I read on Daily Mirror that that car which is parked in front of the hotel belongs to Bahrain King's son, he got it as a graduation gift.
Of course it is custom made but the mysterious thing is he had them to print the R letters " RRR" on the back of the car which no one knows what it means (you know, Brtish newspaper came up with all different guessing)

Pilattes not as bad as I thought the first time


This is my second time trying pilattes, but this time it is a new instructor.
I really liked it, it just takes a while to grasp the correct style.
However, the instructor who I think doesn't have a spine or any bones in her amazing body told Ouna that I am coming along and in 2-3 session, it will be okay.

Officially under 85KG

The scale has said it, I am 84.450 KG.
Way to go Ouna

Aeron Chair creator passed away.


Now every time I am going to sit on my amazing Aeron chair at work, I will remember this guy.
My First experience with this chair was in 2003 when I joined Nokia.
When I was directed to my cube and I laid my eyes on this odd looking chair, especially the mesh looking material.
Only when you sit, you will fee the difference, just out of this world.
BTW, they give you training how to adjust this chair.
Final thing, it costs around $2000 CAD (that last I heard)

Spain in the heart of London

This is an annual event called Regent street festival and this year was sponsored by Spain tourism authority.
So they converted the street (One of the most expesive shopping area "Regent street") into different Spain provinces, Andalucía, Región de Murcia and Islas Canarias.
It was fun day, lots of fun, dance, music, shows and give away.

Leave you with the photos.

This is decoration for the band instrument, chicken feet and sunflower

Funny band, eh.

Spanish beauty.


White sand was brought in, palm trees and the weather was perfect to give Spain feeling.



I couldn't resist this cute girl in this pose.


Human tower, this is sort of Spanish tradition.


Amazing, and they have different styles, two people or four in each level.


and usually ends up with this small kid on the top.


The base has tens of strong stocky men



You pump in these Spanish dressed girls everywhere, really fetl like Spain.



Junior tower, as a start!!!


To be able to stand the weight, they wrap their wastes with this cloth to support their back.



No idea what was that, but I guess it is something in their culture, any body has a clue.



Line up to kiss Spanish guys.



I was thinking to go to latin america in my last post, now I am heading directly to Spain, don't you just love the whole thing.



Interesting shoes.



These are the girls who carve these shoes.


They were cooking the biggest Paella dish in London (I guess the word means left over from Arabic origin)





I told you, it was big, no, it was huge.


You could end up having dinner with this !!!??? (I have no idea but I guess a general from an army 200 years ago)

Second time to Notting Hill 06,

Okay, this is the second time to Notting Hill Festival.
The weather wasn't really helping, very winding and rain from now to then, but got sunny sometimes.
I didn't spend long time there, but it was fun.


This is how crowded it was.




Amazing colors,

Policemen and women are all over the place



Pharaohs costume


Festival of Colors.



Walk like an Egyptian.


What a cute girl



Cleopatra!!



I am going to Latin America cause of this cute girl.



Wind was so strong, so it was very hard to walk in costume like this.



Residence used his place to sell stuff.





Security, security



Impressive costumes.



A lovely family used their window as a viewing point to watch the festival.



I told you, it was safe.



Smart residence, used their balcony to sell home made food.
