Amsterdam / Museum

The Bartolotti is perhaps one of the most beautiful Museum Houses Amsterdam has, built by someone who once was the richest man in the city, but it's a bit hidden in plain sight. These days, it is run by a group of lovely old ladies, who can't wait to offer you tea or juice. You can walk around the house like you live there. You have to ring the doorbell to get in.

The Hague / Art

Great exhibitions.

Shanghai / Gallery

A stylish combination of a local fashion brand's atelier, retail shop and coffee stand operated by a respected local coffee brand. The ground floor also hosts exhibition occasionally. Outdoor seating is quite comfy too. Another lovely place for daylight coffee in the hood.

Sydney / Bar

Best place to go for a late burger and drink. Its small little bar that is super cosy at the back of Redfern Continental. With a disco ball, a neon penis and a pretty good (and pretty cheap) food and drinks menu.

Ocean Grove / Cafe

Perfect place where having a late breakfast or an healthy lunch close to the ocean coast and on the route of the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.

New York / Art

One of favorite museums in NYC.

Hong Kong / Shop

They sell Film, Cameras, Polaroid, Photography Accessories, etc. They also do photography sharing session, & workshops irregularly. The Founder of Filme has the largest collection of unprocessed film in the World - Guinness World Records.

London / Bar

Frank's bar opens on the roof of a multi-storey carpark in Peckham every summer. It's great to go for a drink and get this phenomenal view of London. I love the design of the bar, which is different each year, and the exhibitions are always interesting.

San Francisco / Park

Gorgeous view of the city in this park/permanent festival! Any beautiful day of the week you will find so many picnickers, hula hoopers, cute dogs, gay boys in their skivvies, ganja cookie salespeople, crazy weirdos and can collectors, it feels like a neighborhood concert is going on! My kind of place, for sure.

New York / Museum

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.

Bangkok / Area

I love walking around Bangkok Old Town on a sunny day. I grew up in small buildings, only two to three floors, but now all I can see are big buildings such as hotels and condominiums. I see construction sites everyday. When I want to relax my eyes and lungs, I usually go to an old town. I never feel tired or bored. I can walk from dusk till dawn and stop at an old pharmacy and drink cold and sweet chrysanthemum tea.
