Honey tasting in Parijs...

Well,,,parijs may just be the most beautiful city in the world i've ever seen. It just like a dream when the sight seeing bus passed by the eiffel tower. When you guys go to Paris, leave everything in your hotel room but your wallet and your digicam,,,,and dont forget to grab some chocolate fla with a bottle of fresh milk to be eaten by the eiffel tower,,,and trust me it is wonderful,,, I have many Parisian friends who claim they know their city like their pockets. So it’s a pleasure to find an urban gem that somehow we all overlooked.

Since 1905, the Maison du Miel has stood on the same narrow street near L’Opéra on rue Vignon, an outpost of all things honey from fragrant soaps and vinegar to sweetcakes and frosted candy balls.

The airy store has since been updated, but its well worn mosaic floor still shows the mark of time and Parisian footsteps in search of sweetness. When I’m running errands, I like to take breaks here to spend a few minutes tasting the country of France through its honey. With a spoonful of sweet liquid, I’m transported to the high mountains with a taste of rhododendron and rasberries or the mediterranean with hints of heather, rosemary and thyme.

For the store’s honey-tastings, customers are limited to four spoonfuls, barely enough to get a full sense of the bounty. But that gives employees time to offer a snap lesson on the distinct flavors and properties of each honey. I never knew until after my store explanation that honey ostensibly can calm nerves, improve digestion, and soothe breathing problems.

For improving blood circulation, they suggest sunflower honey. For nerves, they advise acacia honey. Needless to say, I left très calme.

Belanja Murah di Berlin.....

Berlin is not the first capital city one thinks of when it comes to great shopping. Coming from Paris, where couture is like caffeine and well-heeled Parisians are part of the cityscape, fashion in Berlin seems categorically different.

Yet for those seeking something unique, the city is rich with second-hand and vintage shops, offering a huge range of styles that reflect the cultural changes Berlin went through during the twentieth century, from the decadent Weimar Republic to the turbulent reunification years. Prices vary widely — you can pick things up from as little as 5 euros up to 150 euros. Bartering is possible, depending on the shop.

The trendy Prenzlauer berg area in eastern Berlin is a hub for vintage shopping, comparable to Greenwich Village or Notting Hill but without the inflated price tags.

Kastanienalle, known as ‘‘casting alley’’ is a good starting point for shoppers. People-watching is highly recommended — kick back at the uber cool café 103 on the corner of Zionskirchstrasse. The adjoining streets, notably Schönehauser Allee and Oderberger Strasse are also hotspots for bargain hunters. Shops brim with displays of leather boots suspended from rails, sorted by size; there are many colorful shirts and print dresses, as well as decorative objects, and the odd Bauhaus inspired piece of furniture. Shoppers could pick up a retro Adidas jacket, for example, for around 10 euros (Gek yaaaa).

A couple of shops on Weiner Strasse in the Kreuzberg district have a predominance of Tiki paraphernalia, with Hawaiian shirts that would make Magnum P.I. blush! All second-hand shops have a surplus of the ubiquitous army jacket and leather goods. However be prepared to rummage.

If second hand is not your thing, you can head down from Prenzlauer berg, towards Mitte, where Mulackstrasse is home to the German designer boutique LaLa Berlin. Their signature knits might be soft and light but don’t expect to find a bargain! Further along the street is a hip design store call Star Styling, with a mix of silk shirts, knits and accessories.

Thrift shopping hardly conjures up the Berlin of Dietrich’s day but young and hip eternally Das ist Berlin.

Hooiii,,,,
En cette période de stress, de fatigue et de route (setelah kmren abis wisudaan,,,), il y eu un oasis de petits bonheurs. D’abord le petit brin de nuit chez un Clowny doublement papa… J’ai enfin pu voir (et entendre ^^) Gacilly… la veille d’un entretien sur lequel j’ai beaucoup misé. J’espère qu’après tout ça, vieux, on prendra le temps de se voir plus longuement.

VAKANTIE!!!!!

Sambil ngisi waktu libura yang sangat gak liburan ini,,,,,(itb banget lah) gw memutuskan untuk menulis2 blog yang udah jarang dijamah ini,,,,
Okei,,,,,,tema kali ini adalah wisata a.k.a VAKANTIE
Beberapa hal penting sebelum pergi liburan :
1. Selesaikan semua tugas2 di kampus,,, jangan ninggalin tugas2 terbengkalai tak dikerjakan,,,,ntar liburan jadi penuh praduga dan praduga penuh kekhawatiran
2. Bicarakan dengan tutor di kampus kalau kamu mau liburan selama beberapa waktu,,,agar tidak terjadi kesalahpahaman di kemudian hari seperti yang dialami mozes dkk saat berlibur ke paris beberapa waktu yang lalu,,,,,
3. Kalau ada kerjaan part time, misal di restoran ato di bar, ato di toko bunga atau jagain hewan peliharaan dosen (woops siapa niiii) pastikan udah ada gantinya selama kita liburan ntar,,,,awas yang namanya kepercayaan sulit didapat mudah hilang,,,,
4. Kunci serep rumah,,,titipin ke teman yang stay thuis,,,,,bisi ntar (GOD forbidd) kecopetan di metro di paris ato di itali,,,(siapa lagi ni yaaaa,,,oppsss) gak begitu kesusahan ntar,,,,
5. Passport bikin kopiannya,,,,,taro di rumah,,,,,Verblijf juga,,,,,kedua dokumen penting itu wajib dibawa kemana2 saaat anda liburan,,,(sering diperiksa looooo )
6. Bawa emergency food (coklat2, permen2) taro di saku tas di sampinggg in case ntar ke suatu tempat yang jam buka supermarketnya super aneh,,,(walau di belanda dah paling aneh,, kecuali di rotterdam buka 24 jam senin sampe senin,,,,hohophohohoho)
7. Bawa jaket (walau zomer, yang namanya eropa tetap berangin jadi jaket tipis is a must)
Bersambung,,,,,,,,,,,
