The Holiday

From this post, I'll write once a week around Friday. When I have time, I'll write some extra posts. 

Did you watch the music video below? Green Day's "Holiday" is a little irony with the words, but the real holiday should be happy.

Normally, "Holiday" means Christmas season in the world now. I remember a film named "The Holiday."

"The Holiday"(2006)

It's a christmas love comedy. In this film, two couples try to exchange their partners. It's maybe a little interesting for the International couples because there are two culture between US and UK. They, naturally, have some gaps for their communications. Personally, I'm wondering the scenes Jack Black tricks Kate Winslet in the film. Were they on the screenplay, or just his ad-libs. Jude Law and Cameron Diaz are also a gap couple..?

"But wait, why... holiday topic is here in June?" Did you think so?

In fact, for Christmas, people in UK start preparing from August. I think you know about "Harrods" and "Selfridges" in London. They start their Christmas decorations from the end of July.

Here is an news article from AFP last year,

"Harrods and Selfridges launched their Christmas decoration sales on July 28, the earliest ever with an impressive 149 days to go until December 25, while Hamleys announced its predictions for the top Christmas toys one month ago." (AFP Saturday, 30 July 2011)

"Christmas Comes Early to London's Top Stores"

This year, London Olympics occurs in London in August. Then a lot of people come from the world. I think they also can enjoy very early Christmas in these stores.

Without this, people celebrated Queen Elizabeth's jubilee in June. Did you know the bigben, one of the most famous places in London,  changed the name to "Elizabeth Tower." Now the tower has a little trouble. Time has passed a lot since it's built. It's becoming a learning tower.

According to some news sources, "London is the hottest city in the world in 2012." Maybe it's difficult to find hotels and hostels in London near the London Olympic games. Please check earlier than you think, and try to fly!

Sometimes people talk about summer affairs. Friends who encounter on the way of trips are always shine. Are you satisfied with your partner? On this summer vacation, please find out about your partner again and purely love.

Here is one song from Bruno Mars.

"Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars (2010)

Anyway, "love" is everywhere. Don't be speeding, keep your heart, and trust your partner.
