CINEWORLD, SHAFTESBURY AVENUE, THE TROCODERO
I went to visit Cineworld in Shaftesbury Avenue; where I saw a late night movie. I think, the movie was:
Best Man Holiday
...which is a movie with a mostly 'all black' cast.
The movie was interesting in that it didn't just show 'blacks' as being all a bunch of thieves/criminals; but, instead, attempted to portray them as being just normal hard working family and friends based people just like anybody else is.
On the other hand, as with most 'family films'...I would hardly say it was the most exciting or thrilling action movie to go watch. Seeing it no more than just the 'once' is really quite enough!

LEICESTER SQUARE FAIR
Afterwards, I was passing by Leicester Square when I saw they were having a fair. I decided to buy a £4.00 ticket to go on the high ride. This experience gave me a very different view of seeing both the city/Leicester Square area from upwards; as opposed to always seeing it from down below. I think, the wheel did around 4 or 5 full turns.
I walked all around the fair; just to see what was on offer/what the cost was/and, if I could manage to afford it. I saw, at least, 3 or 4 things which I wanted to have a go on...but, didn't have enough money available to spend at the time.
a> Throw rings, and, win an iPad phone. A really hard thing to do effectively; as the rings have to go around a square box; that is almost the same size as the ring. Most people I saw who tried failed.
b> Throw rings to go on top of some bottles. Again, many people tried and failed. The small rings simply bounced off the bottles.
c> You are given a wooden stick with a hook on it; and, there is a moving table...with some ringed toys...you have to catch the toy using the hook. Again, looks easy...but, of course, it's not.
d> You thrown some balls at a set of stacked cans...3/2/1...and, you have to knock them ALL down in order to win a prize. I really wanted to have a go at this; but, again, having no money decided to return back there, later.
e> There was a spinning ride; which I also thought looked to be great fun. However, I didn't actually manage to find out the cost, yet.
Most definitely, I would like to go back there, again.
