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

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

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.
