Hi Lucia
How are you? It was so nice to meet you last week in Sydney at the
sales meeting. How was the rest of your trip? Did you see any
kangaroos? I hope you got home to Mexico City OK.
Anyway, I have the documents about the new Berlin offices. We’re
going to be open in three months. I moved here from London just
last week. They are very nice offices, and the location is perfect. There are lots of restaurants,
cafés and banks in the area. There’s also public transport; we are next to an U-Bahn (that is the
name for the metro here). Maybe you can come and see them one day? I would love to show
you Berlin, especially in the winter. You said you have never seen snow – you will see lots here!
Here’s a photo of you and me at the restaurant in Sydney. That was a very fun night! Remember

memories.
Please give me your email address and I will send you the documents.
Bye for now

Notting Hill Carnival

On the last weekend in August, London is the scene of a
very spectacular event - the Notting Hill Carnival. In 2004,
the world's second largest carnival parade is celebrating its
40th anniversary.

The roots of Caribbean carnival date back to the year 1833

when the Abolition of Slavery Act was announced in
Trinidad. Celebrating their freedom, the black people of
Trinidad took to the streets and had a great party with music and dance. The Caribbean
carnival was born.

When in the 1950s a huge number of West Indian immigrants came to London, they also
brought their traditions and music. Faced with racism and unemployment, those
immigrants dreamt of having a festival that would bring together the people from the
Notting Hill area. So dances and other musical events were organized in North London. At
the beginning, those events took place in various halls, but in 1964 the first street festival
took place in Notting Hill. It was a great success, so the parade took place year after year
attracting ever more participants and spectators.

The Notting Hill Carnival now takes place on three successive days (Saturday to
Monday). It has become a true multi-cultural event and everyone is welcome to
participate.
