What was meant to be a very serious business summit turned out to be a less serious, but definitely more fun 'Girls and the City' trip. 3 girls, each of us running her own business (!), and long-time friends, spent 5 days in London - kicking off our days by sun-salutations, then brainstorming ideas, doing arts & culture, feasting on Thai food and yes, we did go shopping too:) I even managed to squeeze in a meeting with a potential partner to work on a very promising project.
Sunflower Seeds by Ai Weiwei at the Turbine Hall is a must-see (exhibition ends May 2nd). Tate Modern has always been one of my favorite places in London. And, apparently, now a cool meeting spot - I bumped into a journalist from Twoj Styl, while browsing through the rooms!

The icing on the cake was The Children's Hour at the Comedy Theatre , with Keira Knightley and Elizabeth Moss. First staged on Broadway in 1934, banned in the US and the UK for many years, the play was later released in 1961 as a film, starring Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine. Brilliantly written and portrayed, it is a story about one little whisper in someone's ear which is blown out of proportion and changes the lives of many ... Class!
It was an absolutely 'fabulous-aaa' trip and promised ourselves in the would do that more Often. We got back home inspired, relaxed and with some new ideas simmering in our heads. London, will we be back!
With Asia and Anne - freezing cold yet blissfully happy!
