Last weekend we had very near to our house (in SouthBank) a very interesting Festival with lots of different activities, from food, street , boat, music, etc!!!
We managed to spend the end of the day there, where we ate Portuguese food, heard korean music, watched a Brazilian Carnival Parade, castles in the sand and everything finished with great Fireworks:

Fela Kuti with Boss Toina

The other day I invited my DHL boss and friend Anthonia Okonmah to watch the Fela Kuti Show. He is a national hero from Nigeria who despite beeing very wealthy fought for the poor and she is Nigerian that lived very close to the Shrine, the place where everything happened. He is a martyr because even tough he officially died of AIDS everyone thinks it was the regime that silenced him.
Anthonia is called by her friends Tonia, but I prefer to call her Toina because it sounds very interesting in Portuguese. She asked me to translate because I always laugh when I call her this, so I call her Foolish! :D
It was a lovely evening we spent with her and her husband Patrick, we learned a lot about Nigerian culture.
Here you have some links to Fela history and some pictures of the event.

iBartender


And finally after some weeks looking for a weekend bartending job I found the perfect one for my current experience. My friends James Nassour (Lebanese) which I met in the Bartending School was looking for someone for weekends and there I went. 
It's a new place in Notting Hill, a kind of bistro restaurant with cocktail bar and a small dance floor downstairs. The opening day was this weekend and I had great fund despite felling completely destroyed after almost 10 hours serving drinks!!! 
I'm looking forward to improve my skills knowledge and experience to use in our great journey!!!! you can see some pics of the place here:
