Beethoven’s Rostropovich piece starts out soft and calm. The cellist and pianist harmonize gently together. Until three minutes and twenty- seven seconds later, it transforms to a strong and aggressive tone. It becomes an argument between the cellist and the pianist. The consistency to play soothingly together is no longer there. The temper between the two had grown into a dispute. The bickering goes on throughout the rest of the song. 
At the end, the pianist and cellist bitterly compromise their differences.
Yo-Yo Ma begins gentle with a faster pace then the Rostropovich. The two instrument’s temper seems to get along quite fine. The cellist tries to over power the pianist when the pianist becomes more aggressive. The reason to overpower the pianist is to calm the temper down. The pianist seems to play a refrain line to remind the cellist every time. The tone begins aggressive in the refrain and ends calm and gentle. The cello’s tone seems to be understanding and patient. It attempts to keep the pianist calm.
The Romeo and Juliet play located in the Globe Theatre did not give me a positive perspective of the act. The past Romeo and Juliet plays have been in a more serious note and it was serious but persuasive enough to intrigue me. I cannot say the same for this act. I left the play with disappointments. The connection between the hopeless lovers did not appeal to my expectations. Juliet sounded congested throughout the play. Romeo pranced around when it was not necessary.
His confident and strong attitude made up for the prancing. If the two main characters did not have a connection, the play will not be good. This act proved it. I detected a comedy feel to the play. It seemed more towards the comedic field than the dramatic and serious field. The act did not catch my interest at all. The atmosphere of the act tends to be merry in serious parts. I was just not drawn to their performance.
The Great Court takes my breath away each time I set foot into the museum. The dome is compiled of endless triangles throughout the glass surface. I see people gaze upon it in amazement. The Great Court has a sense of welcome. It comprises a grand staircase wrapped around an open pillar with a settle, off-white color to acquire a mesmerizing impression. The top of the pillar is what drives one’s curiosity to climb up the grand staircases.Satisfying one’s mind to find out what is on top is quite surprising. It is rare to find any museums with its very own restaurant. Court restaurant takes reservations only and can easily be booked online. The restaurant is located in the center of the Great Court and high enough to appreciate the glass roof closely.
The Elgin marbles of “The Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs” displays the fight between the two. The Lapiths seems to have a hold of the Centaur in most of the pieces. 
The Centaur appears to be struggling while the Lapith has full control of the so call “beast.” All of the pieces but two had no heads. The heads did not last because it was not connected to the marbles. It was only connected to the body. The two heads that I have seen is connected to the marble piece and the body. It is obvious the marble indicates durability. The define abdomen, chest, and legs of the Lapith and Centaur is fascinating. They appear to be a challenge to each other and in battle shape form.

The Photographers’ Gallery had a phenomenal collection. I tried to fathom every piece attentively. The most interesting piece had to be Wolfgang Tillmans’ color papers. It had a reflection of me while I interpreted each piece. It tells a bit of what my mind wants to think of it. My thought of the black print had me thinking about Jack the Ripper. I was a victim awaiting for Jack the Ripper. I guess it had a lot to do with the gruesome readings of Jack’s murdering spree. The blue print brought me back to the Hawaiian Islands. It brought back a memory and another vacation I’d like to book. The water in Hawaii was so clear and blue that it became my interpretations. My first thought of the black/blue print was Freud’s Structural Model, the id, ego and the super ego. The id is the uncoordinated and unorganized drive of the mind. The ego organizes and separates what is real. It is the reality part of the mind. The super ego is the mindset of perfection with goals and resolutions to aim for. When I saw the black part, my mind categorized it as id. When I stood between the middle of the black and blue it became my ego and the blue became part of my superego. It drove my mind a little crazy because my mind started talking to myself. The red/silver print game me a thought of another world or spectrum. The world was hot pink ad the sky was pink. The fold was land. It gave me hope of another world and a new millennium, if earth no longer exists. The last print from Tillman gave me a strange thought. My evaluation of the pink portrait had to do with a woman’s vagina. I saw the clitoris out of the creases. I hope that was what he was thinking too.
My favorite artist from the Photographers’ Gallery is Alina Szapocznikow. She photographed the gum series. My first thoughts of the images from left to right were from grossed out to “oh!” I began looking at it as a skinned moose, leather torn fabric, torn keychain holder, a ceramic loose- hung face, and then, “Oh, it’s gum this whole entire time!” It tricked me and it was also creative. That is what made me enjoy it the most. So it became my favorite! Now I have more use of my gum after I’m don’t with it. :D!
Another photograph that interest me the most was by Gerhard Richter. It was the over painted pieces. The two pieces that stood out the most were the London Bridge and the Leaning Tower Pizza. The Leaning Tower looks as though it has a horse coming out of the picture. The sides look as if it was galloping in water and splashed it to all sides. The London Bridge looked like it was incinerating. It was bound in red and red in my mind means burning and hot.
I was unable to find any photographs directed towards my interpretations. But he one on the very top is the galleries main advertised photograph and the other one is a photograph I encountered when I was there.
The underclass consists of “sunken people” who lived in poverty. (Victorious: Victorian Era) The underclass was located in East London, which is now the city of White Chapel. The Victorian lower class was divided into two sections; the working class who did labor and the poor. The poor were people who did not relatively work, did not work at all, or received public charity. “The lower class contained men, women, and children performing many types of labor, including factory work, seamstressing, chimney sweeping, mining, and other jobs. Both the poorer class and the middle class had to endure a large burden of tax. This third class consisted of about eighty-five percent of the population but owned less than fifty percent of the land.” (Victorious: Victorian Era) In the working class, skill and unskilled workers categorized people. Skilled workers obtain power to create Trade Unions, which helped them improve and move up the social class. While the skilled workers progress, the unskilled workers and underclass became vulnerable in exploitation and resulted in exploitation. During the 1850s, 750,000 women were left without men because there were 4% more women then men. These women were called “superfluous women.” (Victorious: Victorian Era) --Women who were not married because there were not enough men. This resulted in many women to be known as “fallen woman.” They were prostitutes and were paid to have sexual relations with men. They worked as domestic servants. Prostitution became a social problem and some were murdered brutally by Jack the Ripper.
“In London during this time, there were approximately 50,000 prostitutes out of a population of 1.1 million.” (Suit101: Post-Jane Austen Novels) that is about 4% of the population. The underclass was a violent and exploited class to live in.
Tas is a Turkish restaurant that seems to always be busy. The environment and the setting were quite charming. The waiters are well uniformed with satisfying service. I had a taste of all the appetizers and the hummus turned out to be the best and rich to a perfect point. It was mixed with lemon juice and garlic. Zeytin Yagli Patlican consists of aubergine, tomatoes, garlic, and chickpeas. This appetizer was very unusual for my likings, but I am sure others might like it. Tubule is an appetizer that looks like a Mexican salsa salad but better! It consists of parsley, lemon juice, onions, and tomatoes. Quite refreshing! Manca is with spinach and yoghurt. The taste was minty. It did not taste like spinach at all. Zepzeli Kopte (Falafel)is a ground chickpea dish that was also quite interesting. The peas tasted fresh but again not my type of taste. My main course was the Mousakka. It consists layers of minced lamb, aubergine, potatoes, and cheese. The savor sauce was quite satisfying but the potatoes were room temperature. That threw me off guard. The aubergine goes well with the lamb and the layer of cheese was too much. I had rounds of wine throughout the dinner also. The white wine was a bit bitter, but better than most wine I have tried. Overall, I give Tas a 7 out of a 10.
Q: What was the canal used for in the earlier decades compared to the use for it now?
A: The canal was used as an industrial transport in the earlier decades. It was not only faster but also safer to hold large volume of manufactured goods and raw materials. The use for it now is more of a leisure activity and a historical landscape. It’s used as an aesthetic and leisure site. For example, there are restaurants on boats, a classroom on a boat that passes me by, and we can also rent a day or two on a getaway boat. It also looks like they use it for tours too.
