*24s to the infinity

It become quite an inner joke, that the most people who are visiting the Voorlinden Museum, visiting it only for one selfie. Or… how many pictures u can take in 24sec?

I took few, played around with the space. Most of the pictures which u see here are taken at this exhibition are my visual expression, maybe even hidden story about it. And finally I’ve a chance to see works of Louise Bourgeois [one of my favourite artists].

This weekend we finally went to Limburg (South of the Netherlands] to see Basquiat’s exhibition at SCHUNCK. “SCHUNCK” situated in Heerlen at the heart of the Euroegion, is a new multidisciplinary institute devoted to contemporary visual art, architecture, music, literature and film. Which contains all imaginable crossovers between the disciplines. Manifested by means of presentations, collections and educational projects”.

Perfect place for this exhibition but… it was so boring. The person who’s designed it didn’t do much. I was so disappointed. The designer could go for anything here to show Basquiat’s works in unique way but ended up making just as normal presentation as possible and situated few “window holes” in the walls to show some pictures of NYC [Time Square Exhibition].[Besides Basquiat’s works you can see collective works of other artists of NYC’s scene]. You can check it yourself until June 2nd. I’m curious your opinion.

Heerlen is also famous for its graffiti/murals placed around the city. We had a nice walk follow some instructions from https://streetartheerlen.nl/ you can also check it out while waiting for a rain. Next stop was Maastricht and its unique vibe and craft beer cafe’s and one small micro brewery which we had a chance to visit.

We escaped city of the Hague for the second time to avoid the madness happening at the Kings Night and Kings Day here in the Netherlands.

As for a true beer lovers we went for the Lambic tour in Belgium. Maybe not totally my regret, because i had the best company with me, but speaking about beers… damn! Sour’s totally not my thing!

Enjoy the pictures, soon you will be able to see more on Mr. beerQuest’s YT channel.

Here out last year trip to Belgium.

This year we started in Tilburg at L⍜c Brewery. Amazing place with delicious craft beers.

no s l e e p till Brooklyn D3

Day 3. Saturday.

I have never experienced getting up early with such ease as I have being in NYC. For my entire life I was a midnight owl, but not here. All thanks go to jet lag 🙂

Today, I felt like I went back in time! My partner Mr. BeerQuest.TV dreamed of getting special craft beers from Brooklyn’s OH[Other Half Brewing]. We made plans for to go on this morning which meant standing in the line from 8 until 10am before opening. Like in good communistic times! Yaaay (sarcasm).

The whole experience was pretty interesting, I haven’t seen such a thing like this here in the Netherlands or maybe I have been a craft beer ignorant to pay not enough attention on that subject. Anyways! The line to the brewery wasn’t super long, there were maybe 20’ish guys trading beers, having cars full of beer cans. You could easily see some “old friendships” mostly dudes, no gals except 2 other than me. It wasn’t that difficult to communicate with the rest i just realized I’m totally not prepared for this kind of adventure! No folding chair, no touristic fridge full of craft beers to taste and trade it with new people at 8 at the morning. Next time more preparations will be done 🙂 And guys! Leaving home without breakfast and drinking these divine beers on empty stomach wasn’t smart either. Glad I’m Polish! [Inside joke hope u get it?]

ps. don’t be fooled by this sunny impression, it was November’s morning and it was pretty cold.

The rest u can see on pictures, I think I’m better with the images than with words. It was always like that. Aho!

w h e n in Rotterdam

Few shots from lovely Rotterdam. For those of you who’s never been here, Rotterdam is a different state of mind. A unique city in this small country. U will not be surprised why we called it “R’NYC” 😉

Ive had a chance to look at this city from different perspective, visited friend’s house with astounding view, and had a lovely gals night.

There is an expression in dutch ‘Huisje-boompje-beestje’ symbolizes leading a nice and quiet conventional family life. You have a nice house (‘huisje’), a garden (‘boompje’) and probably a pet (‘beestje’).
Here we have a beer “biertje” all beer fans united 😉

Like always, watch your dreams, because they are becoming the reality.

Personally, i think every place looks beautiful while covered by snow… Luckily in this weather condition, public transportation surprised me on being on time and being a warm place. And yeah, it took us only about 40min to get to Brooklyn [perfect connection].

Look what i have seen when i get from the underground – so many bicycles here, almost like in 2nd home.
