BAR 25, Berlin

March 1, 2011 by Miss Moci1 Comment

There are a few night clubs and bars that had such an impact that they defined entire eras of nightlife in cities. In New York it was Studio 54 or The Moulin Rouge in Paris. If you have rented apartments in Berlin before September 2010 you might have had the pleasure of going to a party at the legendary BAR 25. If not, you might have still heard glorious stories about this epic place. In the 7 years of existence the BAR 25 had transformed … [Read more...]

Double Decker Duffle

March 1, 2011 by DaveLeave a Comment

Double Decker Duffle (Reviewed: Mar 2011) The "beauty" of this product other than its obvious fashionable design is its versatility.

This duffle bag is stylish (even the luggage cuff is elegantly designed), yet super practical and durable. It is made … [Read more...]

GranMonte Vineyards, All in the Family

February 26, 2011 by DaveLeave a Comment

Their daughter Visootha (or Nikki) is Thailand's first female winemaker (only in her 20's, she has many harvests ahead of her). The entire … [Read more...]
