All in about one week's time, in London:
Protest
The Live8 concert, drawing attention to the problem of extreme poverty, was simply amazing. I was so lucky as to be there, as close to the stage as I could get. Great performances from Madonna, U2, Annie Lennox and of course Pink Floyd. But what really made the difference were the movie clips and speeches that reminded of the real reason why we were there: urge the G8 leaders to make bring an end to the extreme poverty in the world. http://www.live8live.com
Joy
Trafalgar Square went wild when it was announced that London will host the Olympics in 2012.
Shock
Explosions in the Tube and a London bus shock London and the world. We did expect it, yes, but it still comes as a huge shock when it finally happened. I was at work at the time, unaware of what was happening until I received the first calls and e-mails from friends and family abroad. Over 50 were killed, 7 of which in Edgware Road station where I pass through every day. Why?
Grief
The day after the full extend of the attacks became clear. There are still bodies buried in the trains in the tunnel near Russel Square. Body parts were spread all around the exploded bus. People are still missing. Why??
