London finds

There is so much written about London. What else to say? You know, the aim of this blog here is to a. keep my friends and relatives updated on where I am and b. to share my finds hoping they would ever be interesting and useful (mostly proved so only to category a.)

There were 3 things that will stay in my heart and I want to carve them in stone here share:

  • Antropologie store on Regent’s street. It’s something special – like a treasury with carefully selected pieces. They even have a green wall with live flowers.
  • Hand dryers in Tate Modern (also spotted at Gatwick airport).

It was the most inspiring long weekend I’ve had. You can see some pictures here if you like. An extra applause to Le Pain Quotidien – pastries worth dying for.

Yours truly adores London:

Würzburg and Veitshöchheim

You’re probably thinking “why those places?”, well first of all I think it’s fun to go places which foreigners can’t pronounce right. Second of all (and it’s a new concept of mine) everybody goes to London, Vienna, Amsterdam, Rome etc. It’s a must. And there’s this thought that you will go there someday anyway. That’s how I choose my destinations: “When else will I have the guts to go to…”, so far this led me to South Dakota -> Alaska -> 3 towns in Norway in 2 days -> small German towns -> Bucharest, Romania (and I have a crazy wish to go to Albania and Vietnam someday).

This post will be different – no story, only pictures and a list of things to do.

Volcano (or how it happened to me)

Well, most of you know what had happened. I’ll post it here anyway, because it’s a travel experience I want to share in both languages (read it in Russian).

So I’ve been to Bucharest last week and had to initially depart to Munich on Monday morning. Well, not so fast, thought “here insert the correct one – The Guy above, Mother Nature, Evil Eyjafjallajökull”. The volcano sneezed once again and the news were looking bad. It was Sunday morning.
