"Nooit dubbel werken als het niet hoeft", aldus mijn afstudeerbegeleider van het bedrijf. Yes dit gaat goed!

Summer lovin' happened so fast

Paris, July 2011
First stop of our Interrail holiday. It's the fun fair at Jardin des Tuileries (Tuileries Garden) which is open in July and August. Although we only wandered around watching the attractions and people, the atmosphere was lovely. The sand gives a bit of a beach idea. Strange to find a relaxed place like this in the center of Paris, close to all those crowded touristic spots.

Puzzled

It's the stupid 5th of March already & i don't have a clue what to do with my graduation project. Where to begin. Like an astronaut being friggin on your own, exploring a planet you don't know anything about. Although i don't think that really happens, wouldn't be very sufficient to send such an astronaut away lolz.
SEND ME.

Save the Biltmore!

The Belleview Biltmore Hotel was one of the hotels we stayed in during our holiday in Florida, 2008. It was built in 1896 and had a very princess-like style with furnitured ball rooms etcetera. Very old, but classy. Sure some stuff was in need of renovation but most of it was in pretty mint condition.

"The hotel was built in 1896 by railroad tycoon Henry B. Plant and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on December 26, 1979. However, this provides no protection from demolition." (Wikipedia)

The current owner is planning to demolish it. Hell no, USA already doesn't have a lotta history and when they have a historic place, they want to replace it by money making condo's?! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT.

Please save the Biltmore. I'd love to visit it again. If it reopens ever.

Venice people mover

This thing just came up in my head. It's a kinda subway but it's not. And it has no driver.

Venice, July 2011
When the man at the train station told us about the 'people mover', we had no idea what to expect. A bus? A train? A moving walkway?
Then i asked what it was. That's the moment the proud Italian train man freaked out.
"Iffe you lette me finish, I can tell you exactely......" (fonetic Italian voice lol)

All those memories about my Interrail holiday last Summer are starting to come back these days. Maybe i need a holiday.
