Dazzling London / 眼花撩亂的倫敦

明天要去巴黎，週末只不過去市中心拿車票，一路經過無數個好玩的地方，這就是倫敦啊！伯靈頓館最近在展很紅的大衛哈克尼展，不過好天氣的倫敦遊客也多得嚇人！

I am leaving for Paris tomorrow. I went downtown only to get the rail ticket on Saturday, and you can hardly imagine how many interesting places we passed by. What can you say? This is London. Now David Hockney's exhibition is going on in Burlington House. Since it has been extremely sunny in London, there are a shocking number of tourists! 

伯靈頓商圈賣得都是高級貨，我們只是偶然經過進去晃晃。

Burlington Arcade houses really fancy shops. We just stumbled across the site and went in for a look. 

和商圈平行的老龐德街是倫敦的名牌街。

Old Bond Street, parallel to Burlington Arcade, is where all the name-brand boutiques gather.

倫敦無奇不有。

You can find all amazing things and people in London. 

復活節彩蛋秀。

Easter egg street exhibition. 

我們的目的地─森默賽特館。

Our destination--Somerset House. 

仔細看喔，這些不是真花，是目前正在進行的裝置藝術展覽「非同步」，這一萬朵花是智利籍藝術家Fernando Casaempere用黏土捏成的，他的創作動機是為了創造人們在春天來臨之際看到繁花盛放的喜悅。

Take a closer look. These are not real flowers. They are the installation Out of Sync that is going in a grass meadow in Somerset House by London Based Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere. 10,000 ceramic flowers were planted. He wants to recreate the joy people feel upon seeing blossoming flowers at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. 

歐洲今年天氣超好！據說我明天要去的巴黎也陽光普照。

The weather in Europe this year is just lovely. I was told that it'll be equally sunny in Paris, where I am going tomorrow. 

才從波隆納回來，又趕著去看倫敦另一場插畫展，在這裡真是片刻不得閒啊！這是集合優秀年輕插畫家和獨立印刷工作坊的Pick Me Up展。

Though I just came back from Bologna, we were in a hurry to go to another illo exhibition. I can hardly take a break here! This is Pick Me Up, which gathers talented new blood in illustration and many independent print studios. 

嘉蕊說我回家之後一定會想念這裡的展覽，的確，倫敦的資源真是太豐富了，不過我也期待可以坐下來安安靜靜畫圖的日子，在那之前我就把自己的資料庫裝飽吧！

Jazel said I'll miss the exhibitions here after going home. Indeed, the art life in London is so thriving. However, I am also looking forward to sitting down in a quiet corner to draw. Before that, I should fill my brain with as much as I can! 

等我十天之後從荷蘭回來再和大家分享我的旅行吧！

I'll say hello to you after coming back from the Netherlands in 10 days!
