Monday, December 16, 2019: Today we walked to Shepherd's Bush and along the way we walked through Holland Park Mews, a collection of homes converted from old horse stables. We then walked to Shepherd's Bush Market, an outdoor flea market kind of place, where I was immediately transported to another country as I never saw so many women in burkas and hijabs in one place. Walking along Shepherd's Bush High Street we passed a café where I saw two women sitting at an outdoor table and one looked familiar. It was Sinead O'Connor who is performing at the Shepard's Bush Empire tonight. Only a ten minute walk from Shepherd's Bush Market one encounters a completely different shopping experience, Westfield Mall, the largest shopping mall in all Europe. One could say in French: Le centre commercial est très grand, si grand que vous n'en voyez jamais la fin (The mall is big, so big you never see the end of it.) Seriously, it is huge. What I like most about Westfield London is the undulating and surreal-like glass roof or canopy over the mall.
