Strangers are friends you don't know

"Come to Chapel in North Carolina" Richard suggested. After a lifetime on the road I have reached a conclusion: People and Places may look different - but after a while there are more similarities than differences. So who knows?

A small conversation gave me something to think about

We were about to leave for shopping when a couple I’ve noticed the previous days left Tings for sightseeing. Sometimes you don’t know when to introduce your self – but since I was standing next to our car just outside our door, it felt natural to say good morning and wish them a good day.

When they reached the Miradouro (which is only 10 meter…

5 Things Tourist Are Shocked To See In Nepal :-)

The 5 Things Tourist Are Shocked To See In Nepal :-) are what we miss here in Europe

That’s also what makes a travel to Nepal so fantastic

A few years ago my mother visited us in Kathmandu. Having traveled since the beginning of the 60s the chaos she faced her once out of the airport wasn’t a shock to her.

But her friend Arne was paralyzed. Seeing the touts, the cows, the dirt, the traffic and strange colors shocked him so much that it took him two days to leave our garden and…

From Beijing to the best Tasca near our hotel in Lisbon

From #Beijing to #Catarina's - the best #Tasca only 5 minutes from our #Hotel in #Lisbon

I just worked on a dish for our Hotel listening to Rod Stewart’s best track. This is the track I just listened to.   This is picture I just received from Kasper in Beijing. You can stay at home, work 40 hr pr week and dream of the traveling you can do in your 6 weeks holiday. Or you can travel, work and dream of 6 weeks of holiday.…

  New amazing works by Bacco Artolini

After Bacco Artolini’s successful pop-up exhibition at Ting Lisbon: Creation & Compulsion in February 2016 he went to Crete in Greece to continue his work.

Bacco Artolini calls his new collection: Exodos: The Creatan Collection

Board: Icarus

  Bacco Artolini recommends you to read the legends before seeing his art

I didn’t (of course).

I thought I remembered everything from my lectures in Greek Mythology back in high school. Instead I jumped straight to each of the pieces and ‘took’ them ‘in’ one by one.

I really enjoyed what I saw – and got curious. But I had to admit that whatever my professor in high school taught me about Minotaur and his two fellow Gods Icarus, Aphrodite must have vanished in Himalaya’s thin air…

So I went back to the three articles on Bacco Artolini’s blog (links to each of them above)

  Vinyls

    After refreshing my memory – and getting lost on the world wide web because one story took the other – I went back to his new works and saw them again.

Bacco was right – it’s definitely worth the time to know the stories behind the main characters in his Creatan collection.

  Enjoy,

A word from a happy guest

New excellent review on @Tripadvisor Lower rated #hotels are ranking higher than us #Kathmandu

Its strange with TripAdvisor.

Our overall rating is 5 stars – aka Excellent. We have been nominated Traveller’s Choice every year since we opened. We are very happy about that. We just find it funny that other Non-Traveller’s Choice places with lower ratings are ranking higher than us.

  Lina just stayed with us – and she was very happy.

Thank you so much for the kind words – they are highly…
