Berlin is not only about books and films, it’s also about the music. For some it’s Bowie, for others Lou Reed, for others yet Nick Cave– I love them all, but the ultimate Berlin music for me is U2’s Achtung Baby. Their best album by far (in my humble opinion- which generally implies you’re sure…

Barlove: Blaznavac Kafe-bar
I have these grand ideas every now and then, which look shiny and beautiful, and I promise myself I’ll start working on them, tomorrow, and soon they will be born and when materialized, will be as shiny as beautiful as the original thought. Doing a photographic review of my favourite haunts is such an idea,…
Berlin Photo Diary- Part One
Since the Internet is awash with factual and practical travel advice about Berlin, I decided it would be pointless to add another spoonful of water to the sea, so I went for a strictly personal diary of photos and impressions which can hopefully still come in handy should someone feel a devastating urge to visit…
Tutti Liberi Subito- Best of Travel 2015
Too much cheap bullshit has been blown into the bloodstream of the Internet about how you should be a traveler, and not a tourist, so much so that the original statement has lost much of its meaning. What does being a traveler imply, after all, besides some Instagram shots of the second most interesting thing…
Best of 2015- Cats
I was a cat fiend way before the domestic feline became the absolute ruler of the internet. I don’t know how it came to pass, but I just never liked dogs, albeit the first pet I recall was actually our mongrel Vuk (a dog named after a fox called wolf, what can I say), who…
Accidentally in Milan
As per the classic Seinfeld scene, Tuesday has no feel, and neither does Milan, as a city. Or at least for me it doesn’t. It definitely does not feel like a style capital, for one. There’s something too in your face about the way people (over)dress, and I myself prefer a bit more grace when…
The Land of Resin Wine- Greek Holiday Part Three
Before getting into the thick of this post, which will cover the essential topics of what to see and what to consume on Crete, I might as well share my hopeless attempts of making sense of the Greek language, yet another mirror to the always changing Hellenic soul. The attempt to google a definitive alphabet…
Cretan Days Have Twenty Five Hours- Greek Holiday Part Two
This is the post in which we’re emulating the (former) Top Gear cast and pretending to give useful and practical advice on a variety of subjects, while still actually pursuing our personal agenda of silliness and what not. So here it goes, touristy review of (the north coast of) Crete, the logistical edition. How to…
Things That Shouldn’t Work, But Do- Greek Holiday Part One
Greece has always struck me as one of those things that should not work- but do. Alright, I hear your complaints here, for the sake of all that is holy, they are teetering on the edge of collapse every fortnight. Which is of course true, but there is truth beyond that as well- in spite…
Pocket Trippin’: Hunedoara Castle
The Városliget in Budapest harbours the rather intriguing architectural specimen of the Vajdahunyad castle, an end of the 19th Century fever dream combining elements of disparate historical buildings from diverse Hungarian inhabited lands. While it’s not all bad in its entirety, it has always given me too much of a Frankenstein feeling to feel completely…
