last wednesday

max and i went for a broadway show "The Lion King" a few days ago. it was my second time watching it, and i realized some minor details in the show have altered. but the show overall is always unspeakably stunning. we loved it.

We bought the afternoon show tickets. By the time we got to the theatre, we were first not impressed by the theatre or show itself, but its audience... because besides visible size of adult audience, we saw a sea of children aged 1 + brought by their parents, teachers, and other kinds of guardians probably. All of them looked so cute.

the theatre basically filled with laughters screams as the show progressed. i wonder if the cast had decided to make the afternoon show funnier or more light-hearted just for children since i don't remember so many laughters during my first experience... it was a fresh experience; i enjoyed the show and was happy to hear the little 4 year-old (maybe) girl in beautiful floral dress behind me giggling.

After the show, following several friends' suggestions, we went to brooklyn and took a walk at the both sides of Prospect Park. We took Q train and got off at prospect park station at the west side of the park where the botanic garden is across street. The neighbourhood looks rather shabby. And the botanic garden was almost closed by the time we arrived. so we decided to go for somewhere else.

I wasn't too fond of the idea of walking through the park to reach park slope since i couldn't estimate how long it would take us to cross the park. but max thought it would be nice to walk through the park. and since i am wearing comfortable shoes that day, we took off. It didn't take us too long, and it proved that it was actually a pretty nice walk. As we walked through the park from west to east, the scenery got more and more beautiful.

There is a difference between park west and park east; park east is apparently nicer than park west, and even the park itself is arranged in this way. Neighbourhoods around central park also seems to evolve in this way...
