Londýn se do jara dostává obrovským skokem: už- už aby to bylo! "15 stupňů a jdeme všichni do naha"- zní přes celou alternativní čtvrť Hackney. Celý park v této progresivní části východního Londýna pukal ve šveh. Okupace hipstery z celého světa, pro které je vitamín D ze slunečních paprsků novým “kapučínem”.
/ London gets into a spring with a huge leap: So close on the edge of a summer! "15 degrees and we all go naked" - echoes across Hackney, packed with alternative nudity. The park in the middle of a progressive section of East London was cracked with people. Hipsters were occupying London fields from all around the world. Hipsters for which the vitamin D from sunlight was the very new "cappuccino".
/ There were a few climbing centimeters up on the thermometer recorded. Nearby market with Asian street food, made everyone drink beer from the local brewery (of course). Hot and spicy food strategically attracted cold bladders, sitting on the wet grass, which of course everyone had to lie on.
Všichni se v tu slunečnou sobotu měli moc dobře. Spokojené tváře jsou v tu chvíli jako cákance barev na šedo - hnědé malbě, která byla přes celou zimu schovaná na půdě.
/ Everyone on that sunny Saturday were full of endorphining joy. Happy faces were like splashes of color on a gray - brown painting, which was through the winter hiding underneath the bed.
/ Every single stop in London means a small town - that is how the 21st century London works. DLR station Limehouse came up with a cool cultural offer on Saturday . There was a Balkan concert organized by travelling musicians (probably from Greece). It was an experience full of nature - without any artificial chemicals and electronics.There was dancing, drinking, clapping and smacking the knees and holding each other´s shoulders. We got back home completely washed down with sweat.
/ Sunday- Sunday is a runday - a day full of furious jogging. And so we ran. 9k´s in a direction to a flower market on Columbia Street. And it was about to burst. Well, once the sun came out, everyone wanted to get covered with flowers exactly like in the American Beauty film.
Návštěvníci trhu se vyloženě rvali o ty nejlepší instagramové snímky. V davu jsme se zasekli na dvě hodiny bez pohybu, s bonusovým dodatkem klaustrofóbních pocitů. Tak jsme šli zpátky domů, se dvěma krásnýma rozkvetlýma úlovkama.
/ Visitors of the market fought for the best instagram images. We were stuck in the crowd at least for two hours without moving, with the bonus addition of claustrophobic feelings. So we went back home, with two beautiful blooming treasures...
Náš poslední jarní den v Londýně byl o pohodě, reflexi, rekapitulaci a cestě zpátky na letiště. Smršť dojmů. zážitků a emocí. Mrkvový dort a půl litru amerikána nás srovnalo a připravilo nás na vstup zpátky do reality, kde lidi v Praze jdou i v těch 15 stupních do práce, na trávu si rozhodně nesedají a nesvlékají se, zamračeni.
/ Our last spring day in London was cool, full of reflection, and recap on our way back to the airport. Whirlwind impressions. experiences and emotions. Carrot cake and half a liter of americano leveled and prepared us for our return and the process of joining ourselves back to the reality - Prague. The real place, where people go in the 15 degrees to work, they definitely do not sit on the grass and they are not throwing their clothes away.
