When in Berlin, consider the Ethnological Museum
Last summer I went to Berlin for a couple of days with a friend. Her mother and her sister had been to the Ethnological Museum a couple of days before, and they told us about a vodoo exhibition. As a generel rule I like museums that are all about showing the visitors old crap, and I really wasn't disapointed! The vodoo exhibition pretty much consisted of religious objects, mainly made out of skulls and mirror and colorful fabrics.
Comme ca...
It was quite amazing and I think you had to be 12 or 16 or some-amount-I-can't-remember years old to go in. Probably because the skulls were real and the lightning was kept at a minimum and it did have a certain touch of magic to it.
Anyways, judging on the webside (http://www.smb.museum/smb/sammlungen/details.php?objID=56 - absolutely horrible, by the way), this exhibition is looong gone, and I obviously can't tell you anything about the current exhibition, since I haven't seen it. The museum itself was okay. Not amazing (here I think about a very large room filled with small chipped statues dating back to when zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...), but some of it was quite nice. At €8, however, it is sort of pricey and I really think that you ought check if you care to see the special exhibition before going there. It's a bit out of the city centre, sort of in a living area, you can go there by U- or S-Bahn. I think it's in zone B, although the map in the Moleskine city notebook says C.
I'll be going back to Berlin at the end of July. Right now I'm studying for an exam (last of this semester) and it's killing me. Hence "all" the post. When I can't travel, I dream about travelling, and I might as well write down my travelling dreams in order for someone to maybe read them and get something out of it :)

When in Copenhagen, go to Statens Museum for Kunst
Hello world!
Well, first of all, I have to admit that I am slightly biased. However, I really do think you should go to Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery) because... why not? It's free. It's a pretty building. It's nice to look at art. And did I mention that it's free? You can't really go wrong then, can you?
Right now there's an exhibition with wood cuts (?). Some of them are old as hell and sooo detailed and pretty, and some are new and (if you ask me) not quite as nice. but that's a matter of taste.
And they just redid the collection of Danish art. You might not consider what a difference it makes, but the people who made the decicions on where to place what really knew what they were doing. You just WANT to walk around and look at the paintings, because somebody painted the walls the perfect grey color and... well... go see for yourself.
Oh! On the subject of museums; I went to Louisiana to see Me draw on iPads (iPad paintings by David Hockney), and boy was I disapointed. Yes yes yes, the idea of art changeing and not being as static and trying out new possibilities is all very interesting, but when that's said, I really didn't like the "paintings". They were just sort of blah.

When in a hurry...
... you sometimes forget that your posts are supposed to be called something that begins with "When in" :)
Anyways. The movie was actually quite bad and I really ought to delete my previous post. But I won't.
I hope you had a good weekend.
Over and out!

If you're in Copenhagen tonight
Tonight Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival is showing the movie I love you Phillip Morris in Ørstedsparken. Last night it was A single man, and well, it's free! You don't have to be a homosexual (I'm not), I just think it's a great offer. And it is important to remember to go out and enjoy the summer - even though I sort of fear that it's going to rain tonight.
The film starts at 10 PM. Be there at 9.45 at the very latest if you want a good spot to sit on. And remember warm clothes :)

When in Cincinnati, please please read this!
Today I was flickering through a book about Charley Harper and I came across some pictures of the mosaic wall in the contemporary arts center in Cincinnati. I believe the wall is called "Space for all species".
Now I would just like to know; is it as amazing in real life as I think it must be, judging from the photos I've seen? Could some one maybe try to describe to me exactly HOW amazing it is? Or isn't? Should I start dreaming? I probably won't have enough money to go to the USA for a couple of years, but it's okay to dream. It always is.
Oh, and by the way, I work in a book store at a museum, so I'm supposed to look at the books :) There aren't that many people on a Saturday morning.

When in a place where the sun is shining...
...remember that sun lotion!
I know you've heard it a billion time before, but it really is that important. Because people DO get skin cancer. And wrinkles. And no matter which one you like the least, it's reason enough to apply SPF.
Personally, I'm about this pale:
Yes, I just skipped a few lines and left a blank space of whiteness, but that is (almost) how pale I am :)
And yes, I would like to get a tan. I used to worry more about getting a tan than protecting my skin, but no matter how many hours I spend outside without any protection, I still didn't seem to be anywhere near a gorgeous "cafe latte". Then I sported being as pale as a vampire (without all the emo-ness, though) by spending no time in the sun at all, and thereby missing out on the good things that come with the light and heat.
Now I think I've found a pretty healthy middle way, by trying not to go outside from noon to 3 pm and to almost always sunscreen (SPF 20). But I enjoy sitting outside on a sunny afternoon, reading a silly book.
And I'm using one of those body lotions with a hint of self tanner. And a sun lotion that helps optimize the tan. And I'm still pale, but at least I'm not ruining my skin.
All I'm saying is that you should consider the consequences of what you do. If you really don't care about cancer and wrinkles, then fine. Go ahead. Ignore the warnings. But then you have no right to feel sorry for yourself when you get older and your skin turns into leather.
