11.Nov: reading the Little Prince and walking along the riverside, norwich

Today, it's sunday.

and, it's 11th of november, and it is my 2nd time to remember the people who died during the 2nd world war in england.

Since I have moved into England, I have had a curiosity about the paper flower badge on many english people especially in late october and november.
at first I thought it was just a simple thing, but for the decoration purpose. I thought it was kind of the thing for charity or donation the money to the children in the bad condition.

But it was not such a definite fact. So I asked to the manager where I work, and she told me that it's for remember the victims by the attacks of bombing at 11, in 11th of November during the second world war, in England.

and when I attended the mass in the morning, I had the time for remember the people who couldn't be expected to live longer, but be ghosts during the 2nd world war.

Then, I left the cathedral, then went to the bookshops to look around the books I was interested in. Most of them were the travel diaries. But I didn't find something very attractive to me, but some books like a woman in 60, she travelled with her own bicycle accross the globe, and it was interesting cover, and I am willing to read that book later on.
and some books about the photo icons of London, and I saw the picture of the Peter Pan's status in Hyde Park in London as well, I want to visit there with my sister in winter.

Afterwards, I stepped forwards to Costa on the London street, and Had a time with a medium caffe latte and an almond croissant.
But more crucially, was being with the Little Prince.

It's my 4th time to read the Little Prince. Once in my mother tough, 2nd, in English translted one, and 3rd time to write and draw the same little prince book to gife to someone else, and it's my 4th time then.

Every time I read the book, I feel and find something new inside. This time I read the book after I read the book about the interpretation of the works by Saint-exupery. So It's like I read the book for the first time.

And, There is a story which The little prince talked to the crashed pilot in the sahara desert; Antoine, an author, himself, The most pleasant thing he likes to do is seeing the sunsets on his plant, sitting the chair. and Once he saw 44 sunsets in a day, with moving his chair.

Well, before I want to go further for decoding the meaning 44, I want to emphasise on it; it's entirely my own opinion and thought.
I think the number 44 means a lot of things to Saint-Exupery.
In his book, 44 means, the times of seeing sunsets to the Little Prince, and it was such a magnificant pleasant, and the memorable day to him.
and 44 is the age which means the author closed the stage of his life in the sky in his own plane,
in 1944.

Personally, 4 is not a good number in my culture background.
This is because 4 means death in Korea.
So some flats don't have the 4th floors, and 4th gates.

Ofcourse I think it's kind of superstition, but it's like the 13th Friday in the western countries.
So it's quite bad thing and bad luck to many koreans.
But, the little prince helps me a little bit to overcome, no to think the number; 44 in a bit more positive way, not such a davasted way which I have been accustomed by the cultural influnence for last 2o years in my life.

So Thanks to my dearest author; Antoine De Saint-Exupery.

Ok, Now I want to write something different.
Today I walked along the riverside of Norwich for the first time since I have moved in norwich from manchester.
Well, to be honest, it was not such a splendid walk side like River avon, or Richmond, but it was ok for a walk a bit to drench myself into the walk path.
Even though the weather was very clumsy to slap my hairs and cheeks again and again, I was ok to walk apart from soaking myself a bit in the rain.

I saw the ducks and the swans, and it was such a good thing to have the view of the Norwich cathedral from the walk path of the riverside.
and I saw very pretty houses along the riverside, and also saw some people who did fishing there.

Anyway, This Sunday wasn't bored with the helps from my discreet companies!
