With 24 hr licence to function as club, nights easily turn into days here. De school houses a coffee and a restaurant place, you can literally enter Friday and leave Sunday. :0 Quite in weekdays with great coffee, atmosphere and natural light

The Turf is hidden away down a tiny ally way in the back streets of Oxford, easily the best pub in the city if you can find it.

Hungry Ghost is an artist-owned studio and shop that sells a range of merch (all printed in-house), as well as repurposed vintage apparel, patches, pins, local zines, VHS tapes, and other deadstock eccentricities. Great for souvenirs and niche Rhode Island joke products (like their notorious "Rhode Island Slut" sweatshirt, inspired by a scene in the original Dumb & Dumber movie).

There are two lion statues standing at the entrance of the Public Treasury building. The first time I passed this site, I was quite surprised to see more that one persons passing by them, rubbing there nose as if they would be little doggies. Even bikers hold on to give them a little stroke. For some reasons rubbing their noses is meant to give you good luck. Looking at how the material got polished, I can imagine how people are sensitive to myths or just superstitious. So am I... now each time I pass there, I do the same.

This amazing and surreal cave is a great place to reflect about the relation between structure and time in nature, and the space between them.

Delicious coffee and amazing staff 

A hidden (almost secret) garden! located off to the side of the Pacific National Exhibition Centre. This little Japanese landscaped garden is not only a quiet sanctuary where one can admire its lake, rocks, and bonzai trees, it is also a commemorative place that serves as a healing reminder of the history of Japanese Canadian internment during the Second World War.

The Numismatic Museum of Athens, also known as Iliou Melathron, is a museum dedicated to the history of currency and coinage in Greece and the broader Mediterranean region. It is located in the Ilisia neighborhood of Athens, Greece, and is housed in a 19th-century mansion that was originally built for the renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. The museum's collection includes over 600,000 coins, as well as medals, decorations, and paper currency, spanning from ancient Greece to modern times. It is one of the largest and most important collections of coins in the world, and is known for its unique and rare specimens, such as the famous Syracusan dekadrachm from the 5th century BC. The museum's exhibits are organized thematically and chronologically, with displays covering the development of coinage in Greece, the Roman Empire, Byzantium, and beyond. There are also exhibits that explore the use of coins in daily life, as well as their role in shaping political, economic, and cultural history. In addition to its exhibits, the Numismatic Museum of Athens also offers educational programs, including guided tours, workshops, and lectures, as well as research facilities for scholars and researchers. Overall, it is an important institution for the study and appreciation of numismatics, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history of currency and coinage.

Community gardens, divided into small private spaces, each owned by someone else. Located in downtown areas of the city are good opportunity for block of flats citizens of the area to grow their own veggies. In the winter – usually deserted or taken over homeless people for shelter.

I only recommend walking around the Barceloneta beach at sunset, there are fewer people and in the fall and spring seasons is very nice to sit on a terrace watching the sea and entertaining yourself with the activities of the area.

One of the most beautiful museums i know (in terms of architecture) is in Den Haag. The architect is H.P Berlage. The superb collection Mondrian paintings couldn’t be more at home as here.

Beautiful bookstore in the heart of Barcelona, designed by Quintana Partners.
