Il Buco Italian Restaurant - Greece
An Italian restaurant, Il Buco, opened recently in Psirri, Athens’s up-and-coming district sometimes described as the Soho of Athens.
Restaurants, bars and nightclubs dot this neighborhood in the heart of Athens, but entrepreneur Lucas Papaspirou is confident that Il Buco (at Sarri 18 & Sahtouri) can withstand the competition.
Designed by the Athens-based Sotovikis and located on the third floor of a neo-classical building, Il Buco has views of the Acropolis. The restaurant consists of three separate spaces clustered around the cocktail bar.
Pure white walls, floors and ceilings gain structure from the strong, black door frames and softness from the slender iron drapery bars and moody Droog and Danish light fixtures. A summery, breezy, Greek atmosphere is created by the simple addition of mismatched wood-frame chairs collected from the antique shops of the neighboring Monastirak. - Tuija Seipell

If It's Important, You'll Find A Way. If It Isn't, You'll Find An Excuse
Some people dream of success, others make it happen. Of course, you can dream as much as you like but waiting for things to happen gets you nowhere. Get active and start making things happen.
Whatever journey your path takes you on, the most important thing is to have passion in what you do.
How many of you went to college, got your degree, and ended up doing something totally unrelated to your major? Studying it did not make you passionate about it. It wasn’t your path.
Education or even talent aren’t worth much without passion. So do the stuff that you love and you've always wanted to do because without it, you'll feel stuck and unfulfilled. If you work in a bank but your dream is to be a naturopath, then make those changes now. Make this year the turning point in your life. When you do what you love you will be rewarded — it will just flow naturally.
Look at those around you who just make things happen. They have a clear goal in mind and they know where they want to go. They don't always have a plan but they have the passion and the tenacity to make it work, and they achieve their goals as the end result.
Trust us when we tell you this. If something important to you, you WILL find a way. If it isn't, you'll find an excuse. It’s that simple. Find your way. Make it work, whatever it takes. Are you 10 kilos heavier than you should be? It is simple: Commit, go to that gym every day, no excuses, and train until you lose those 10 kilos. When you accomplish this, you'll have the confidence to do more. Set a goal and make it happen.
Want to stop smoking? Stop making excuses, take control of your circumstances before they take control of you.
Success isn't just about what you accomplish in your life, it's about what you inspire others to do and when you do accomplish something as simple as quitting smoking or losing weight, you'll inspire others to do the same. Anyone can change the world, and everybody should try. And it all starts with your own life.
Stop waiting for the perfect time to do what you want to do. Do it now.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, so get used to being uncomfortable. It won’t kill you. Do you need a sign? Here it is: - Bill Tikos

Antwerpen
Museum van de Schone Kunsten; KMSKA
Het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in een Antwerpen is de bekendste museum van de stad. Je kunt hier binnen genieten van een collectie van voornamelijk Belgische en Zuid- Nederlandse kunstenaars. Stukken van Rubens, Ensor en Fouquet worden hier o.a. tentoongesteld. Er zijn meer dan 7000 werken te bewonderen. Daarnaast vinden er tentoonstellingen plaats, wisselende presentaties, worden er diverse activiteiten georganiseerd en is er een museumshop aanwezig.
Wat me vooral is bijgebleven is toen we er aankwamen dat er een heel klein plasje water lag op het plein en toen we terug liepen naar het station het hele plein onder water lag. Het water ging op in het kunstwerk. In het museum waren veel maquettes te zien van bekende en belangrijke moderne architectuur.

EXTRA MUROS: MUSEA IN DE 21STE EEUW: IDEEËN PROJECTEN GEBOUWEN | ||||
Met deze internationale architectuurtentoonstelling slaan Musea stad Antwerpen, het Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen (M HKA) en het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen (KMSKA) de handen opnieuw in elkaar. De expo belicht de belangrijkste trends in hedendaagse architectuur van musea. Hiervoor toont ze negenentwintig projecten van internationaal gerenommeerde architecten en architectenbureaus. | ||||

Werken van Tadao Ando Architect & Associates, Atelier Brückner, ART+ COM, Daniel Libeskind, Jean Nouvel, Renzo Piano, Mario Botta, Zaha Hadid Architects, Gehry Partners LLP enz worden gevisualiseerd met een maquette, schetsen, plannen en foto’s. Directeur Suzanne Greub van het Art Centre Basel stond in voor het idee en concept van de tentoonstelling. Sinds 2006 bezocht deze expo maar liefst veertien steden verspreid over vier continenten. Niet toevallig komt de tentoonstelling nu ook naar Antwerpen want er beweegt veel op architecturaal vlak in de stad. De toekomstige uitbreiding van het oudste museum (KMSKA) en de bouw van het nieuwste Museum aan de Stroom (MAS) passen perfect in de opzet van de tentoonstelling. Deze twee Antwerpse museale projecten krijgen dan ook een bijzondere plaats toebedeeld. | ||||||
