Happy Canada Day from Trafalgar Square, London!

So we decided to check out the Canada Day celebrations being held in Trafalgar Square in London and although we came quite late (around 8pm), there was still much happening and music playing.

• The place was pretty full with a ton of red-wearing people walking around having Canadian beer and munching on Bison Burgers (that is, after lining up in the huge queues..). The theme this year was in association with Alberta so naturally they had bison burgers...

• The music playing was someone i had not heard of at all (Kim Beggs?) and it was traditional folk music or something, i couldn't figure out what it was and it was nothing you would hear of on the radio except for maybe late afternoon Tuesdays on 88.1 or something..

• We ended up eating at a Turkish restaurant called Ozer, near Oxford Circus, and it was very good! Recommended by the Michelin guide and moderately-priced. I tried a Turkish liquer called Yeni Raki which resembles sambuca, and after mixing it with a bit of water, that first glass already me a bit loopy and hot..lol. All for 5GBP!

• All in all, it was good to celebrate Canada Day even if we were in England, we spent a short time there but enough to say we were proud to be Canadians! Ole!
