First day in London and seeing an exhibition of Antoine Tesquier

My first day in London was spent mostly, walking around, by myself, and mostly in Hyde Park – plus I met Antoine Tesquier and saw an “exhibition” in the Serpertine that supports Polar Bears, or a particular Polar Bear.

First impressions – and I know this will change – but getting used to the food here is more challenging than I thought.   I’ll let you know as the week progresses -

Anyway, here’s a few playlists I made (videos set up to run in a queue of YouTube) today – some, like my walk around the Serpentine in Hyde Park are made up of several videos – so you may want to go through them at your own speed and leisure.

I didn’t take any videos tonight but plan on taking several Monday and Tuesday – and I’ll be speaking at Monitoring Social Media 09 on Tuesday late afternoon.

Here’s the first playlist with Antoine Tesquier dressed up as a polar bear and setting himself adrift on some white Styrofoam into the Serpentine at Hype Park.   I never quite got why he was doing this – maybe it’s to promote a particular polar bear – not sure which one.

Also, here’s some footage from the rest of my walk in Hyde Park today

And when I first arrived in London, I was looking for my hotel, The Shaftsesbury Premier London Hyde Park – which so far, is working out very nicely and has good internet connectivity – so I can post to my blogs and keep in touch with friends.

I haven’t taken any video from within the Shaftesbury Premier London Hyde Park, but I probably will before the week is up.

Also bought an OffBeat Guide to London for my trip – though I did not realize till now I could have interacted with the initial PDF and customized it further.  In fact, I could have added a custom chapter and left out some of the one’s that come by default – next time I’ll do it.
