My new favourite theatre in Manchester. This fledgeling theatre only opened its doors in 2015 but has become a big player in Manchester' arts and culture scene putting on incredible musicals, shows by local playwrights, cabarets and other typers of performances. The theatre is situated in a Grade II listed building in Ancoats — just a short tram ride, a skip and a hop away from Piccadilly Train Station.

Prague / Bar

Well, it was my long-hidden secret but I will share it with you. Cobra - that's a place! Think twice before you go there because you'll come for a coffee and will stay forever. Phantasmagorical in every way.

Dubai / Beach

I rate the kite surfing beach by far the best public beach in Dubai, as it has lots of facilities around including volleyball nets, football AstroTurf, bathrooms, kite surfing equipment, etc. It has a really large span of beach and not much construction around, which is rare for the city.

Vienna / Place

There is one thing finally that is good about vienna’s small size, to reach the river danube and its two side arms in summer, when its boiling hot, takes only few minutes. All the life is transferred from the center to the river banks, swim and barbecue in summer, ice skating in winter. If you exit the subway at Neue Donau station you will see the small tower of viennas biggest mosque that is located on the danube island. You can go there and visit, if you are lucky, you will be offered dryed figues and dates and you can watch the prayers repose themselves lying on mattrasses in the cool.

Tokyo / Architecture

This was a tour visit to Umezu's house in Kichijoji. He is the one of most famous cartoonist. The walls are painted in red and white horizontal-striped, Makoto-chan (character of his comics) is on the roof. It became a sightseeing spot in Kichijoji from the day it was built. The dress code of this day follow in his trademark. This house is full of a sense of fun and love for his character.

Margate / Restaurant

A popular (for good reason) and exceptional seafood restaurant, somewhat of a culinary Margate institution. Michelin Guide 2020. The menu changes daily, according to what is in season and what has been caught.

London / Museum

Archive collection of surgical instruments - anatomy and pathology - dental instruments - medicine and surgery (basically a lot of dead things in jars, really interesting to draw from).

Brussels / Restaurant

A vegetable-is-king-kinda-restaurant where meat and fish dishes are considered to be sides. Nice wine, nice atmosphere!

Oslo / Cafe

Perfect place for a slow Sunday morning, good food and nice atmosphere. It´s sometimes full, but you can hang in the little store until a table is available.

Moscow / Restaurant

Great place! Minimalist design, good ambient music, helpful staff. Very delicious food, This isn't Russian cuisine, or Scandinavian, or any kind of national cookery. The dishes have been created by the restauranteurs.

Jaipur / Shop

The workshops at the Gem Palace are a true fascination to me. Here you can witness the processes from rough stones being delivered to the final steps of cutting, faceting and polishing as well as setting and making. But what I admire truly is the shapes they can create sometimes losing up to 70% of a stone to create a dome for a pair of earrings.

Bristol / Bar

Great selection of beers downstairs, with eclectic & lively resident DJ. Amazing pizza and a candlelit eating/sitting area upstairs. Bonus garden terrace out back.
