Back to the Roots and the Rain

Back to the Roots... yep i forgot how shitty the weather in Holland can be. Unfortunately since last week it has been raining. Whilst my Dad was walking the 4-daagse intocht in Nijmegen it was pooring rain, but Lionel was pooring his beer and adapted to the Dutch Lifestyle during this Festive Event!! http://www.4daagse.nl/

This Walking Festival is a famous event in Nijmegen, held every year, this year 92th time. My dad did it for the 10th time, and what did he do? He walked 40 kms every 4 days, so in total 160 km!! So he really earned his medal! Maybe next year Lionel win the Medal for Best Beer, Fries and Kroket Supporter!

Thai Massage Course

I have started tuesday with my first lesson of the Thai Massage Course I'm following at the Centro del Benessere. It's a basic course but i will be able to perform one full massage after i have finished the course. We are learing the Chang Mai technique, from the North of Thailand. The other existing technique is that of the South, Bangkok's Wat Po.

The origin of the Ancient Thai massage can be traced far back into history to Shivago Komarpaj, the founding father. This unique bodywork incorporates yoga, pressure point and reflexology.
To preserve this ancient art form, past practitioners have scribed medical technique into stones. These inscriptions can be found within the walls of the Wat Po Temple in Bangkok Thailand.
Today, Thai massage helps eliminate stress and muscle tension, thus creating balance and harmony to one's body. Many people have incorporated Thai massage into their preventative health practices and are enjoying its lasting effects.

Thai massage is practised on a Futon mat and is very relaxing for the muscles but most of all will get your energy (prana, ki, chi) in balance. So very good for tired and stressed people. It is a technique which uses Shiatsu principles, acupressure points and streching techniques derived from Yoga. Therefor also called Thai Yoga Massage.

First Course: The Feet

Lago di Como

Not only did we visit the LaChapelle exposition in Milano this weekend, we also went for a "narrow" drive on the coastal road to Lago di Como. With our first visit to Bellagio, after which we took the Ferry (Traghetto) to Cadenabbia on the other side of the Lake. We stayed in Hotel La Perla in Tremezzo with a stunning lakeview room. We had dinner in a little Trattoria in Menaggio, where the Visa Card machine was again broken (really?), in the end it worked!

The next day we visited one of the many Villa's, Villa Carlotta, with a very nice walk in the villa, museum and the Gardens that had lovely lookouts and known for her Rododendron trees. But we more liked the Bamboo Garden!

We headed back along the Lungo Lago through Lenno(Lemon soda and Bruschetta Classica), Cernobbio (Capucino and cafe Lungo)and finally the cathedral of Como(and after pizza con crudo and again Bitter Lemon).

La Dolce Vita con il mio Amore in Italia!

David LaChapelle @ Pallazo Reale

I went to see the David LaChapelle exposition in Palazzo Reale in Milan today with my lovely man Lionel. We spent 2 hours between reality and imagination, with his work he brings you to think about different aspects of our society: destruction, religion, consumerism, plastic surgery and natural beauty etc. I m very impressed with The Last Supper and his latest work: The Deluge. It looks like a Michelangelos painting in the Sixteenth Chapel in Vatican.... Of course he has portraited a lot of famous artists like Madonna, Marilyn Manson, Gwen Stefani, Cher, David Bowie, Tupac, Lil'Kim and many others.
