The Blitz is on in London again!
November 05, 2005Some of you may recall the time when the German Luftwaffe attacked London in the so called Blitz. However, most of you may not remember how it must have been in London during the Blitz. However, London wouldn't be London, if it didn't offer some special attraction to all of you who wants to get a small impression of how it must have been.
Each year, on 5th November (and actually even a few days before) there is a special occasion that gives you a small impression of London 1940's the sound scenery. People here call it Guy Fawkes Day or also Bonfire Night and celebrate the failed blowing up of the Parliament, today exactly 400 years ago. However, there is a thing that not only surprises me: Why do they celebrate a failed blowing with fireworks that last for almost a week and larger and longer than in any New Year's Eve night?? I think you have to be very English to understand this.
