Back In Berlin

Good Bye Stockholm, Hello Neukölln.

Just like that my trip and my vacation is over. I'm back where I started and the city is almost like I left it.

Just as sad as it might be to leave Stockholm it's nice to be back. And what do I bring back with me? Well, except for a bunch of great memories, a few stories and a bag of the most delicious candy in the world, I also bring good news. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'm allowed tell them here. So I am gonna play it safe and simply not tell them. But I can give you a hint, it's a family concern.

And for the Revdes mission, I do hope Hans isn't so picky when it comes to this picture (because this is the last one I made). Does this work?


With that I say - Thanks Stockholm, see you next time around.

I hope you guys enjoyed Stockholm Vacation 2010. Tomorrow I'm back at the office and will bring you more Best Stuff.

The Best Stuff I See/Max

Vacation 2010.

Be prepared.

Tomorrow the annual trip to Stockholm takes place. The Best Stuff I See (aka me) will then head off for that beautiful city surrounded by water.

Stockholm is a beautiful city, there is no denying it. But it's true beauty only comes out during the summer. So going now in August should be the best time. I'm just really hoping that the weather is gonna be okay.

The big difference from the trips I normally make to Sweden every summer is that this time I will only be i Stockholm. The reasons for that is 1. Money, Sweden is expensive. 2. Less chance of getting bored, nature is nice but not that exciting 3. Finding out if I could ever live in the city again, I've been away so long that it might not be for me any more.

And except for my personal missions I also have a mission from Revdes. Just like in the picture here (but it will of course say Stockholm) I will make some pictures of someone or someones wearing a Revdes t-shirt. I'm gonna try to find some different people and locations. And for one lucky person this means a new t-shirt. Only catch is that the tee is an extra-large, but hey I think it's big enough to be worn as a dress if you're small.


Like all trips this one needs some preparations. Later today I'll have to make sure that I have everything I need and then of course pack all my stuff. More on that later today or tomorrow.

Right now the question is if forgot anything. Oh, Damn! the vodka!. Now I have to go to the supermarket again...

Mini Vacation.

Staying put.

A short vacation in your own city. Perfect for summer.

The word vacation normally make me think about a country far away. Something that involves going from point A to point B, at least a couple of hours in some kind of big container. But there are other ways of doing it. One that can change the way you see your own city is very simple. Just stay. Take a couple of days off from work and just do some stuff in your own city. You can be a tourist and go to the places that you normally don't have time to visit. You can also just walk around and take a look.

That is what I'm gonna start doing tomorrow. Taking three days off I get a short work week and a really long weekend. Which means that today is my Friday. And with that said, this will be the last post for this week. But to make up for posts lost this will be somewhat of a double post.



Music Pillow.

As I said before, everything can be designed and everything can get "graphic".

Who doesn't like something well designed? That typical clean font for the text and the classic simplification of a photo. Hell, maybe that's all design is about. Taking away everything that isn't necessary. Leaving the basic and taking away that which makes it to much.

And I would say that this pillow does just that. Even with just three colors (and not very bright colors at that) it's gonna get a lot of attention laying in a couch or on a bed. This and a bunch of other pillows are a collaboration between Acrylick (a LA brand) and Andrew Sebastian (a textile designer and a pillow maker).

It's definitely worth a look at the other pillows, just click yourself over to www.hhv.de

If I had the cash for such thing I would order one right now. But I will put my money on my short "staying put" vacation that starts later today.

So have a great week and weekend and we will be back on Monday.

Christmas Vacation.

Happy Holidays!

Vacation, one of the few things that separate people from animals. The time when you can drop the worries and take it easy and simply relax.

One of the best things with winter is Christmas and one of the best things with Christmas is the vacation. And to get the most out of the Christmas vacation one should be where there is snow, family and friends. Which makes it logical to go back to the old country in the north. Soon I'm heading to Sweden to celebrate Christmas. And since I take my vacation serious The Best Stuff I See will be back next year.

But don't worry, I guess you haven't read all that's in the archives. Some of the favorites this years must be The Garlic Tea, Afghan Opium, Revdes, The AK47 and of course The Good with Fall series.

With that said I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And before we know it it's 2010 and The Best Stuff I See will be back stronger and better just like all of you.
