Lille, you were magnificent this weekend: your architecture, hospitality, and food culture, we loved it all!
This was our first time, but we will definitely be back!
Travel
Earlier this week: in Nuremberg for work
Never missing an opportunity to share fellow bon vivant Action Bronson’s adventures in Paris:
no one makes me want to roam the city [Paris] quite like American rapper and food enthusiast Action Bronson.
- Tibz, what is it like living in Europe?
- Like this…
This man is my hero:
“The food here is different,” he said in a heavy French accent. “Bigger portions. Too much salt. Too much sugar.” He decided to enroll in a paid study at his wife’s new workplace. It was exploring why the American diet, compared with almost any other, causes people to gain weight and develop chronic diseases”
Silver Linings:
-
Got sick (flu season) the day before a business trip to HQ. Had to cancel the trip this morning with my French and German colleagues.
-
My French colleagues obviously still went. Flight got cancelled and they now have to wait from 10am to 8pm to be rebooked on a later flight.
So while I’m recoveringing at home, this is …for the better in my part
A quick visual recap of this past holiday season :) (full post on the blog)
Home sweet home
The Foursquare City Guide App is closing on Dec 15th
Wednesday, October 23, 2024
Getting ready to say goodbye to Foursquare, an app I’ve used almost daily since its earlier form back in 2009 between my time studying and working and living in the UK, then in San Francisco, Paris, and my native French Riviera. Back then I used to check-in to places I visited from the mobile browser of my Nokia blackberry knockoff (E63) (2009-2011), then an Android phone (2011-2013), and finally from the dedicated iPhone apps (2013+).Thursday, September 26, 2024 →

“We want a little 82-year old granny to come in the morning to have her coffee. If the place ends up being Instagram-cool, okay, sure. But the goal isn’t Instagram, the goal is the granny. If granny comes, the rest will come.”
Great dinner tonight in #LaDama in Barcelona
