Phare, The Cambodian Circus

February 11, 2017

Siam Reap, Cambodia was a breath of fresh air compared to Phnom Penh, literally and figuratively.  I ventured off on a solo trip for a few days to get out of the city and see the Angkor Wat temples.  Angkor Wat was certainly impressive, but it was the Phare: Cambodian Circus that captured my heart!

Serbian Sightseeing Scramble

September 30, 2016

It’s my last week in Belgrade, and per usual, I’m running around trying to see sights that I put off seeing the first 3 weeks.  In one day, I visited two museums and one art gallery.  Success!

BA Museum Review Pt 4: MNBA

April 21, 2016

The last of my 4-part Buenos Aires Art Museum review series.  (BTW, there are much more than 4, but I have so much more to talk about, like the scintillating Street Art...)

Bellas Artes, aka Fine Arts.  The granddaddy of all museums.  It's finer than a fine wine.  Magnificent.  Grand.  Reminiscent of the Washington DC National Gallery of Art.  Like a second cousin once removed.

April 20, 2016

I can’t say enough good things about MALBA!  Love the pristine modern space with the super high ceiling, massive windows and never ending escalators.  Muy excellente!

BA Museum Review Pt 2: MACBA

April 19, 2016

The Contemporary Art Museum is right next to MAMBA and it is a great complement to the Modern Museum.  Minimalism is the main motif in MACBA.  'MAC' might as well stand for 'minimal and clean'.  While a bit smaller than the other 3 museums we visited, the space was brilliantly curated and aesthetically on point.

BA Museum Review Pt 1: MAMBA

April 18, 2016

Another rainy weekend in Buenos Aires made for memorable art museum adventures!  Lucky me, I met the most amazing mujer, mi novia nueva Fernanda, who is studying to be an art curator.  She showed me 4 museums in 2 days: two in San Telmo, and two in Recoleta. (Both are awesome artsy areas of BA)

Fuerza Bruta!

April 11, 2016

Fuerza Bruta translated = ‘Brute Force’.  (Probably) the best live show I’ve ever seen!  ~Cirque Du Soleil meets Blue Man Group.  Intense music, performance art and acrobatics.  Most of the show happens in / on top of the crowd.  You can’t help but be a part it.
