Little pink sketch of the Sacre Coeur from the back. Come March I will be visiting again, this time with my mother, who’s never been to Paris before. I can’t wait. Ranitidine Blood Pressure

An “abandoned” train station
The train line that joined Segovia with Medina del campo was opened in 1884, bringing the industrial revolution to my grandparents’ village – the deep, deep Spain – a few decades before they were born. This line stopped working in 1985, after improvements in the region’s roads vastly decreased the traffic of passengers. The station, [...]

Literary nuns
I’m still not sure whether this bookshop belongs in the Amazing Bookshops Around the World series, but it certainly is remarkable. When Clemens and I were walking around some backstreets in Bologna looking for a place to eat (after we were refused in a place where we wanted to eat merely because Blink182 had once [...]

A weekend in Bologna: The film photos
Back in May my friend Clemens and I went on an Italian adventure. Somehow I only snapped three film photos apart from the band ones. Clemens finished a roll, but it was mostly photos taken by a drunk girl that we didn’t even know. It was a weekend of great randomness. I can only hope [...]

My favourite New Year’s resolution
I won’t even try to hide it. I am one for New Year’s resolutions. I like the idea of a fresh start and good intentions. Resolutions are tricky, though. It’s too easy to fall into the “exercise more”, “drink less”, “eat healthily” and the like. I like to set myself tangible goals that are sort [...]

Amazing Bookshops Around the World: East of Eden (Berlin)
Now that I’m nearly pretty much done with my thesis and I can devote more time to blogging again, the amazing bookshops around the world section is back. I kid you not, I have about 25 bookshops to add to this section. Isn’t that amazing? If you’re a new reader and want to know more [...]

L’amour a Bali
Hello everybody, this is Michelle of Green Tea Fields. When Andrea called out on twitter for friends to guest blog on her space and to take care of it while she’s out furiously writing her thesis, I decided to pitch in and help out. To start off my little stint here, I decided to do [...]

6-hour Venice
Last September I went to Venice for the first time. One can hardly call this an insightful post about Venice… after all I stayed there for six hours. But since it took me three and a half hours to get there by train from Milan, I’ll keep on considering this as real travelling. So, first [...]

Berlin 2009
Last week I shared photos from my trip to Hamburg two years ago. After Hamburg I went to Berlin, where my friend Sara was working at the time. It wasn’t my first time in the city, so instead of taking in all the sights we just hung out in the sun, browsed second hand shops, [...]

Hamburg 2009
Have you seen that new Facebook feature that shows you what your status was 2 years ago today? I hate it. I hate it because I don’t want to be reminded of fun times when I’m not emotionally ready for them. The other day Facebook kindly reminded me that 2 years ago I was going [...]

Bright Brussels
I’ll be honest, the first time I went to Belgium I thought that it looked like a newspaper; grey, red (like the economy pages) and green (like the ads). This made a lot of sense in my mind and it can be explained by the fact that I arrived on a very rainy day after [...]
