Berlin: East Side Gallery

East Side Gallery - 

removing some parts of the Wall

has lead to protests and restistance recently.

Indeed: times and also things change...

But still: isn't it even more important, to be 

remembered and not to forget sometimes,

being able to make changes afterall?

History can not only be locked-in in museums,

it has to be lived in the streets:

because there are still so many walls

that have to be removed,

shouldn't some walls remain?

Paris: Le Sourire de Saigon

Le sourire de Saigon - 

what a lovely place to have wonderful 

Vietnamese food!

Fantastic fresh and delicate spiced 

dishes served in an

extraordinary atmosphere, that let's you feel,

as if you are in an original 40's Hollywood setting.

And the service was very friendly and obliging.

The next time we're in Paris, 

we absolutely want to go there again!

25hours Zürich

25hours - 

young, designorientated and a lot of passion - 

that's what this hotel concept stands for!

Last week we stayed in the 25hours in Zurich and 

we definitely enjoyed it a lot!

The great design, developed by the team of 

Alfredo Häberli Design Development,

gives you a hint of artful and graphic intervention.

And staff was absolutely amazing: 

very courteous, well informed and extremely friendly!

And now, that legendary cook Haya Molcho is responsable 

for the food since the beginning of 2013,

a trip to this great hotel is even more worth it - 

can't wait to be there again in March!!

Oscars

Oscar 2013 - 

'We took part on a hero's journey 

and the hero was Quentin',

that's what Waltz said, when he accepted his second Oscar as 

Best Supporting Actor for his role as a crafty delightfully 

verbose bounty hunter in 

'Django Unchained'. His first Oscar he 

won for his role in 

Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' in 2010.

And also Tarantino laughed as he accepted his 

second Oscar for Best Screenplay, 

18 years after he won his first Oscar for

'Pulp Fiction'...

What a success for this movie!!
