Good-bye to Paris

Three days in Paris seemed to me one moment. Time to get back to reality. Our friends are also already flying back to the US. We’re arranging for another meeting - we would like it to be again Paris. There are so much more to seet. Even once again ... The last walk through the Latin Quarter among...

Musee d'Orsya

Unexpectedly, the next day it turned out that the strike in museums ended up. So we could see the collection in d’Orsay. Naturally, all of those works can be seen on a thousand reproductions, but "live" contact makes a lot more fun. For this is a great atmosphere inside the museum which was once a ...

Paris through those who are gone

I wondered why the university district is so called. Well, in the Middle Ages until the French Revolution in ...

Borough Market and Brick Lane

Do you want to know how look like a hipster? In London hipsters are everywhere, but most likely you can peep into their pop culture in Brick Lane. The history of this street and the surrounding area is similar to many other boroughs of large cities, which are first occupied by artists, outcasts a...

Tate Modern

  A sunny morning in London, but unfortunately cold. Not discouraged, we are going to Tate Modern. What amazes us are hudge banners, big inscriptions and advertisements placed outside the building: If Tate Modern was Musée de la Danse? We are going inside and admiring not only the gallery, but al...
