to do, to do, to do

It's Thursday and the week is almost over... 

¿Any thoughts on this matter?

Saturday Tune ... just love the beats!

Snowy Wall - Part 2

It might not seem obvious in the pictures, but the stairs of the great wall are unique in their shape and size. They are narrow and high so it requires an extra effort to climb them up. It's inspiring to see some locals visit the wall to perform their routine exercise... made it seem so effortlessly. After half an hour, the sky became grey and particularly windy. I decided to get down and take a look around, that's where I discovered the mushroom sign, ducks, and neat stones with writing on them.

Thinking back, the atmosphere was rather silent and breathtaking...

Snowy Wall - Part 1

Forgive me if this post is rather nerdy... I'm a fan of history and my tendencies toward nostalgia increase when I am in the presence of historical monuments {Great Wall}. It's breathe taking and inspiring. While at the same time, you can't help but reminisce in the thoughts of those before you who were there in the prime of it all. It's one thing to read about it and another is to experience it -- well, kinda!

I was told this text said ¨Do not pee¨ I thought it was an interesting looking sign... 

The weather was perfect, as it painted a real scenario of what men/soldiers endured during a winter season. My winter ¨experience¨must be sweet and beautiful compared to the storms and real conditions the men were exposed to back then. It was rather humbling and awe inspiring. The white blanket that covered the wall made it mystical and magical... it seemed like it whispered into my ear and into my soul.

Colorful Night

A friend took me to the Village in Sanlitun in Beijing at night so that I could see one of the most popular shopping centers. The area is quite popular with foreigners, encountered many Germans and English that night. The center also boasts of many many places to eat. Too many restaurants looked appealing, which made it difficult for our tummies to commit to just one dining option. Eventually we decided on The Orient Kitchen. Unfortunately, I don't have any visuals :( but I can tell you that we ate an Asian cross-cultural Hong Kong style meal. Tasty Tasty! The dinning environment is friendly and decor wonderful. Definitely recommend!

p.s. the apple store shown in the pics is the one people pelted with eggs. The act made headlines as the iphone 4S went on sale and people were upset because the store would not open.

been there...

Greetings! It's time to reconnect and share updates.

Lately, I've been traveling around, and the below scenario has become quite usual...

In the upcoming posts, I'll share were I've been :)

Energy and good vibes for a fantastic Monday... love and life is all that really matters, no matter what day it is!

Controversial Lips

Spicing up the men's room in the Rolling Stone's Museum with the iconic band's logo (red lips), has turned to be quite a controversy in Luechow, Germany. Some women find the urinals extremely offensive. Others remark and remind the women that the logo is modeled after Mick Jagger's own lips. The designer of the piece is a Dutch woman named Meike van Schijndel.

I think these are colorful! It's a neat way to implement a logo design, resulting in a redesign of an every day item. Logo design functionality!

Parking in Style

Howdy! I've been with a cold and away from the computer again :( but I've returned! Need to feel better as this month will be busy busy ... Hope you had a good week and now enjoying the weeeeeeekend.

So what I really wanted to talk to you about today: GARAGE. Concrete/Gray/Dirty/Gloomy. Well,  that used to be my take on them. Minor exception in Seoul, where I was amazed at the cleanliness of the floors in the parking lots! Soooo shiny, I had to hold on so I wouldn't slip with my heels...

Craig and Karl defy the bland take on the use of space for garages and literally spice it up! They see parking lots as another opportunity to bring color and perspective. What do you think?

Words

Words. They conjure up ideas, conversation, communication, engagement. A form of expresion. Words. Beautiful, powerful, modest all at once...

Ji Lee, born in Seoul, Korea is the artist that developed the below project inspired by Words and images.

 It's playful and creative! see for yourself :) 

QUIT Slackin'

Good Day Peeps :)
