I love to discover, explore and destroy photo books with my eyes and subsequently my portable telephone. A place where I love doing this is in the Stedelijk Museum. Yes, gift shops are typically stocked with pure Dutch gouda like any other gift shop but I find with enough dedication there is something to be found. I particularly enjoyed this one. Perhaps it is my Dutch affinity for milk.

Thrift shop with sweet prices and good choice.

Yokato Yokabai font probablement les meilleurs ramens que j'ai goûté à Montréal depuis que j'en ai mangé au Japon. Attention de ne pas confondre ce resto avec leur autre restaurant, Ichigo Ichie, accessible à la même adresse. Ichigo Ichie est un Izakaya mais ils ne servent pas les ramens. Aussi, si vous souhaitez manger les ramens, vous ne pouvez pas réserver. C'est premier arrivé, premier servi. (Désolé, cette photo n'est pas la mienne; je n'ai pas l'habitude de photographier ce que je mange. Prise sur le site des Pages Jaunes.)

The LA Opera at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Grand Street in downtown LA is a must during the fall and holiday season when they have a solid lineup of opera and ballet. Very inspiring. 

Speciality coffee in Leipzig & yummie cake

This gallery is an inspiring contemporary place where I like discover new forms and approaches. By the way the window is awesome!

Yes, a fantastic selection of books, but I especially love their book-themed t-shirts (so that everyone can see what a nerd you really are)

Since I was a child I always loved to go to the aquarium in Artis. This mysterious world that we will never really get to know makes me wonder and raises questions. I like this mysterious world. It’s a place to relax and think things over.

German Expressionism makes me giddy. All my favorites are here at any given time - George Grosz, Otto Dix, Egon Schiele, Gustave Klimt - and the building was designed Carrére and Hastings, the same architects that designed the New York Public Library.

Bang in the center of the city, the quite bucolic English garden is also an internationally renown spot for surfers. The maybe four meter large river that crosses it creates just under a bridge, one single and endless wave. What means that all year long, even when it’s snowing, you can see guys in wetsuit queuing to ride it. It’s so surreal.

Winstons coffee doubles up coffee energy boost with youthful vibe in what feels like a very compressed space around the corner from MTR station. Always on the move with each moment never dull — from the earliest thinkable hour in the morning till late evening, and with espressos progressing into Espresso Martinis along the way.

Beautiful park
