Weil am Rhein

it is recommendable to go to Vitra Design Museum in Summer, the 20 minutes walking distance from the train stattion must be more bearable in summer than in winter .... it's not a station actually just a little stopover point .... and you can pick many fresh cherries fresh from the tree .... the museum itself is kinda tiny better not expect that much. All pictures above are from their five story showroom building, a pretty enchanting architecture-baby from Herzog de Meuron.

fall break

I landed happily in San Francisco on Wednesday afternoon .... like literally happy, I was wearing a big smile in my face as the airplane touched the landing lane. I've been dreaming to see this city since years ago. The next day I spent my morning somewhere not near from SF downtown .... because I took the wrong direction ... I thought I was walking towards Ferry Building, turned out it was the opposite direction. It's normal tho, me being not smart. So I ended up having this for brunch in the middle of nowhere ....


It took me a couple hours to reach the Ferry Building .... it wasn't that far ... but some retail store blocked my sights that I have to stop every now and then .... I had my usual afternoon coffee, learning the city map, and writing some postcard accompanied by crisp fall weather, aaah lovely. Then I went to SFMOMA ..... the museum makes me feel so educated. 3 days left in this city ..... lets stroll around.

some photos leftover from last visit to Berlin on Easter break. I don't like (and I guess would never like) big city, but this time the capital city treated me better. Out of sudden I feel like planning holiday to middle of nowhere.
Do you like big city?

my 1-year-younger-junior in architecture school came this weekend to visit some important museums. Lucky me I live in Stuttgart, this city offer the famous Mercedes Museum (Ben van Berkel, UN Studio, opened May 2006) and Porsche Museum (Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, re-opened Jan 2009) ...... those museums increase the number of friends and relatives who wants to pay me a visit here, haha.


Thank you Imal and Awang for your short visit ...... comeback again on any-weekend you want .... you know I will give up my airbed to my guests .... and you know my roommates provides free beers ......

München day 2. Went to Pinakothek Museum der Moderne. I realized something, yup..... all-white-interior again. They just like it.....or the interior designer afraid to improve on other color? I don't know...... all I know all-white-interior never goes wrong....


and this picture below is from exhibition called "multiple city". Too bad I didn't took the complete globe picture. The poster shown that Jakarta had 9,0 million inhabitants (at night), and Paris had the same number too. Meanwhile Tokyo-Yokohama is the city with the largest number of inhabitants, 35,0 million. Whew!


Still from the same exhibition- picture below is Sao Paulo, Brazil. Oh please don't say that Jakarta have the same condition...... or even worse. I'm not really familiar with Jakarta anyway, I live in Bandung since 1990. Anyway, I know where to find this ironic panorama in Bandung........ just go to Apartment Galery Ciumbuleuit .... and you'll see Sao Paulo. Huff, thank God they didn't really expose my beloved country in the exhibition .....


Let's see beautiful things. On Saturday night in München I had a nice typical Bavarian dinner, in a former Wine Cellar. I ate fish and potatoes (no choice, baby!)



My Boss finally back to office after 10 days business trip to Singapore. He said he's dying because of warm weather there......... meanwhile I'm dying here because of this goblok temperature hehehe. I'll post again soon, very soon. Have a nice counting-down-to-Xmas-holiday-come people!

Warthausen und Ochsenhausen

On Sunday I went to Ochsenhausen, an old village with Baroque style architecture ... located in the border between Baden Württemberg and Bayern. It took only 3 hours to go from Stuttgart to Ochsenhausen ... 2 hours by regional train and 1 hour by Dampflokomotive Zug, but we have to wait in Warthausen for 1 hour, so total journey is 4 hours. Warthausen is a small town (or village? I'm not sure......) There is this International Knopfmuseum in Warthausen (yeeahh baby, bring it all the buttons on!) ... we entered the museum, which turn outs not as cheesy as I thought haha.

Here come some pics.....

my fave : taking picture of old couple. Aren't they so sweet? :)
