Expo 2008 Zaragoza Nostalgia

Caroline Bach | January 11, 2011 | 02:51

Found this videoclip that used to loop when I worked in the Swedish Pavilion at the Expo 2008 in Zaragoza..

We heard these songs over.. and over.. and over.. and over again.

And, of course, this one. I heard it more than four times a day, but I loved it.

Oh.. and that salmon from the German pavilion..

Tenéis pins?

The orders have been printed and my photos will be on their way to people’s homes very soon. 54 photos in total, ending up on random walls in random cities around Sweden. I’m so happy!

Musetta’s Waltz

I saw Mikael Melbye’s production of Puccini’s enchanting La Bohème at the Copenhagen Opera the other day. Obviously, I couldn’t take any pictures during the play, but the surroundings were beautiful enough to share. Click the pictures for lightbox.

And then there’s always YouTube – this clip is from the second act of Franco Zeffirelli’s production of La Bohème.
Wait for Musetta’s waltz at 2:10.

La Scala, 2003.

Goodnight!

Barcelona really does inspire. It’s those little details I always have been nagging about.. the details and the contrasts that I look for. Barcelona gives me an euphoric overdose of all that and I imagine myself walking around for hours with my camera – very soon! I can’t wait to live there and be able to call Barcelona my city. As I said some time ago, I would easily move to Rio de Janeiro if they only spoke Spanish – and Barcelona is my mini-Rio. It’s the closest I have come to find a city like Rio – and it’s in Europe = free healthcare, baby! haha

Servershopping

Today I went out shopping like a good girl is supposed to!

I came back home with a Synology DS211j NAS and two 2TB Samsung HDD.

That was a couple of hours ago. Setting up the NAS and formatting the drives takes a while, but the nerd in me is really happy! Now I will be able to access my stuff from anywhere, and everything will always be safely backed up – I can’t believe I didn’t do this before!

Here’s a print screen of the Synology interface, click it for big. You just have to love the simplicity of it! That, and of course – Lauryn.

Deixei tudo o que eu queria
Porque não me deixei tentar
Vivê-la feliz”

Chema, Ady & me – plus David behind the camera. Where did I find all these awesome Mexicanos? Chido!

Back to Snow and Fika

Caroline Bach | January 6, 2011 | 04:04

I’m back in the snowy landscapes of Skåne.

The next following days I have tons of errands to run, phonecalls to make and details to fix before setting off for real. I love these things so I am really looking forward to an intense week. If you want to catch me before I go again, I will dedicate some fika-gaps for my darlings – call me!
