Depot Rotterdam

Before moving to Japan I lived for more than 10 years in Rotterdam. So at least once a year I come back to visit family, friends and my favourite spots in town.
And one of my favourite shops is without any doubt Depot Rotterdam, an interior and design studio situated in the city center, in a very nice and cozy neighbourhood, known as the Soho of Rotterdam.
This is the perfect shop for design lovers, where you can find beautiful interior design items from famous and not so famous designers.
Last week I was there and every time I go there I fall in love again… Can you see why? If you happen to be in the neighbourhood a must go!
Have a great tuesday!

Home leave - Asia meets Europe

Yesterday I flew to Europe to spend a nice holiday with family and friends.
In total I will be here 7 weeks and I will be visiting 7 countries. Germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Belgium and Portugal. Am I meeting you somewhere?

The thing about being a German-Portuguese couple, who was living before we moved to Japan in The Netherlands and in Belgium makes us already having to visit 4 countries, during our home leave.
My husband and I love Scandinavia, where we will be attending in Lund the wedding of our lovely friends Karin & Christian. And to get to Lund we have to fly to Copenhagen. Once there we couldn't miss the chance to visit this beautiful and inspiring city one more time, right?



Further I'm looking forward to see Vienna for the first time, to enjoy Lisbon and the Algarve as much as I can.
My holiday will end up in Antwerp, where i will be seeing Alicia Keys live on concert. This is definitely the cherry on top of my cake! Nice things to look forward to!

I guess being in Japan made me realize how lucky we are in Europe. Where every country is so close to each other with so many possibilities to visit them all.

Have a great day!
