倫敦夏天結束了 Summer is gone in London
本來這週想再分享挪威的食物，不過這週倫敦的夏天已經結束了。

一個人的價格還不便宜，不過能跟朋友在倫敦短暫的夏天烤肉，我想是一個很不錯的活動。

English Version:
Originally, I wanted to share more about Norwegian food this week, but summer in London has already ended. So, I quickly decided to share some interesting things I discovered during London's summer.
First is the London canal. I love walking along the canal, and while walking, I often see a lot of wildlife or people walking their pets. Watching the animals move freely helps me relax as well.
The second is the rotating BBQ on the river in London. This was the first time I saw a small boat where you can BBQ and chat with your friends. It's not cheap per person, but being able to BBQ with friends during London's brief summer seems like a great activity.
Third is London's Uber boat! Many cities have Uber boats! I had only taken an Uber taxi in London, and recently, it was my first time taking their boat. They sell food and drinks on board, including both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. It's a great way to get to know central London.
