It wasn’t until I completely destroyed my designer-shoes on the ever so clean and well maintained sidewalks of the most beautiful town of Ghent that I thought about the grass. I thought that the badly paved footpaths in Capital had the sole right for destroying high heels? Is the grass…

I can’t believe a year has passed. I just left ArteBA ’10 and we are already 2011. Go to La Rural to see this big art exhibition. There are a lot of really nice works, a lot more then last year, in my opinion. It’s really worth a visit! Hurry…

When it comes to books in general and literature in specific, Buenos Aires certainly stands out. I am sure that everyone, even those that don’t like reading so much, know or have heard of Borges. Borges definitely plays an important role in Argentine history and literature. I am sure that…

It is said to be the most important horserace of the year. It was my first. Except from Ascot (on TV) and the (as far as I know) ‘would be Ascot’, Waregem Koerse (which I have never been to either), I know nothing about it. And even then, all I…
