Shanghai / Cafe

My little Tokyo in Shanghai which is my go-to for cool vinyl DJ events. Designed and operated by UDS, a leading design firm from Japan, the cafe has very community-friendly space for all range of customers, a seasonal menu (Japanese family style curry rice and fried chicken are highly recommended!! ) and curated merchants and events.

Kyoto / Art

Monade Contemporary is a hidden gem of a gallery located in the Gion area of Kyoto. Despite its small size, it leverages the extensive network of its curator, Mr. Atsumi, to host exhibitions featuring a diverse range of fascinating artists from both Japan and abroad. Nestled in the basement of a multi-tenant building, the compact space exudes a unique charm, offering visitors an exciting sense of discovery.

London / Library

The V and A houses a public collection of prints and drawings of every kind imagineable from old master drawings to photographs, playing cards, fashion plates and wallpapers. You have to select what you want to see from the collection http://collections.vam.ac.uk/and book in advance. The behind-the-scenes route up to the study room of v and a is a treat alone (pictured)

Krakow / Market

Old market place in my neighborhood with a variety of fruits, vegetables, traditional cheeses and tons of miscellaneous stuff.

Puebla City / Church

The Zócalo de Puebla, located at the Historic Center of the city, is a beautiful cathedral surrounded by a huge green park. It's the first place on the must-list while visiting Puebla.

Paris / Cafe

Delicious coffee and amazing staff

Paris / Bookstore

A very good choice of art books and artistic gifts

New York / Bookstore

Offering 20% off on current “indie bestsellers” (and 10% off picks from their well-read staff), you can still get a good deal while supporting one of the city’s last independent bookstores. They also carry an impressive selection of magazines and literary journals that you can flip through in their café. McNally’s event calendar is packed with appearances and readings by authors like Zadie Smith and Chris Kraus, but they're perhaps best known for their in-store printing press and self-publishing services.

A Coruña / Restaurant

A lovely place located in the old town of the city. Perfect to meet with friends and share nice seasonal food in a good environment.

Bogotá / Garden Centre

Meet around 18.206 plants from Around Colombia.

Paris / Restaurant

Two wellknown japanese cafeteria, close to the Louvre and the Palais Royal. Gyoza and Lamen served all day long. The one Rue St Anne is more traditionnal, chiefs are cooking in front of you. Often packed, in case there is a long waiting line, go to the one Rue St Honoré, you will eat the same!

Montreal / Cafe

Caffè Italia is an institution in town and was the first Italian café to open in Montréal in 1956. The decor probably hasn't changed much since then. Definitely one of my top favourite places in Montreal. Their panini is worth the detour - I have rarely had such a great one, probably the best in town, if not of the whole province !
