California Postcards

Santa Monica is a upscale beachfront city in western LA county. This pretty place can offer you the best of the best of the beach life. Think Baywatch and you have it. Sunny weather, beautiful people around you, the ocean, the waves.

What I liked the most about Santa Monica: this was second week in september and the weather was just perfect. And I guess this sunny weather just make people happy, because everybody was smiling.

Perfect Spot In Las Vegas

I have been traveling a bit, here and there, business and private, so there were opportunities to stay at some nice hotels now and then. So it is with carefully chosen words I am announcing that this is THE Hotel, the best hotel experience I have had so far.

Mandarin Orient is a collection of luxury hotels located in the world’s most prestigious destinations. This hotel in Las Vegas is built two years ago. The interior design...the service, the staff, the background music and sweet fresh smell, the pool, the bed, so many small detail that were not expected but so appreciated. Loved it.

Hot Weather & Bling Bling

Sooo after days spent in Vegas here is my observations:

Vegas is one huge bling-bling-city that is here to offer you one million ways to have fun and one million ways to spend money. Everything is created, designed and produced for you forget the real world. In a way everything is made up, everything is fake. The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World.

Walking down the streets of you will be surrounded by the skyscrapers of New York, you can wave to the Eiffel tower or why not take a ride in a gondola, Venice is right there. How crazy is that? The quality and diversity of restaurant and nightlife is amazing. You can get what ever you want 24/7.

I spent most of the time exploring the huge new built hotels paying attention to the interior design of these bars, restaurants, clubs etc. So much money is invested in every projects, everything is big and extraordinary. I wouldn't say that I adore the interiors, it is just too much for my minimalistic taste, but ideas and effort put in each place has to appreciated.

Burning Man Postcards

We are alive and healthy after one week spent at this crazy event in the desert, Burning Man. What was it? Well hard to describe, but imagine a desert, lots of happy people, sharing food, drinks, life stories, experiences, learning new things like walking in space shoes, acting, riding bikes from one crazy amazing place to another, wearing super funny creative outfits. It's like one huge playground, like Alice in Wonderland, like a place where you can be who ever you want to be or simply be you! Different and refreshing.
