Barcelona / Hotel

Very nice hotel

Eating

London / Pub

Slightly biased as this is where I live, but Stoke Newington is great place to spend lazy saturday / sunday afternoons getting sloshed with friends. There are 10 + pubs within walking distance who all are great places for one reason or another. I'll pick out the White Hart for its huge beer garden...

Tokyo / Place

These are the Icicles of Misotsuchi in Oku-chichibu. They are built up very slowly by water dripping down. The best time to see these icicles is during the coldest part of the year, from about the middle of January to the middle of February. They're located in the in the Arakawa headwaters.

Copenhagen / Shop

Natural wine. Great costumer service

Ghent / Museum

Museum Dr Ghuislain is a museum and a psychiatric centre. It is housed in the oldest mental asylum in Belgium, still functioning today, and aims to break down the many prejudices that still define what is ‘mentally ill’ and what is ‘normal’. They do this by assembling their own collection of outsider art or art brut, they host shows on contemporary human themes and have a permanent collection on the history of psychiatry.

Albany / Art

A really fabulous art gallery located within Sage College campus. A nice airy, huge space, thoughtful exhibitions featuring a diverse group of contemporary artists. The openings are fun and usually free. Keep an eye out for their pop-up Biergarten events in the spring and fall.

Shanghai / Bookstore

Quietly located in the residential area, a walk to Avec Toi - a French bakery in the hood and Text & Image has been my favorite morning walk course. The bookstore features a tasteful selection of publications in literature, design, photography art and more. Both the size of the space and the collection is less overwhelming. Good enough to encounter an inspiration or new addition to my shelf.

Paris / Cafe

Good coffee spot near Canal de l'Ourcq in the 19th

Amsterdam / Cafe

Small collection of foreign movies with a huge waterside-view cafe.

Barcelona / Market

After waking up on a lazy saturday I love going to La Boqueria market (Mercat de Sant Josep) to buy some vegetables, fruits, fish to set up a nice lunch at home.

Amsterdam / Restaurant

De Waaghals (= The Dare-devil) is a very nice vegetarian restaurant. The atmosphere is informal, but the food is very nice, refined and creative. Organic ingredients are used as much as possible. Each month a dish focuses on a different country.
