Now let the game begin..!

So I'm doing it all on my own and probably won't survive even one chapter without some strong motivation. Anyways I'm showing it, so there would be a proof to my good intentions. And please, be so kind and don't ask me any time soon if I can speak Portuguese yet!

But, but.. look at those faces :P

Swedish TreeHotel

"Set in the pristine forests of northern Sweden, just miles away from the Arctic Circle, the Treehotel combines stunning design with prefabricated tree-house construction."

There are five different units that will be ready for the opening this weekend (17th of July), each designed by a different architect to be completely unique. The owners of the hotel have plans for a total of 24 rooms within five years time.

Mirrorcube is one of the units. I find it the most beautiful thing I've seen lately. Love the way it disturbs the view turning it into an absolutely surrealistic image.

Festa de São João

Every year, on the 24th June, the city of Porto, in the north of Portugal (also Braga), becomes lively and seemingly crazy.

The party starts early in the evening of 23 June and usually lasts until the morning of 24 June. The traditional attractions of the night include street concerts, popular dancing parties, eating barbecued sardines, drinking wine, people hitting each others heads with those plastic hammers and releasing illuminated flame-propelled balloons over the summer sky.

Summer sky... :)

This tshirt design knocked me out of my feet.

I was designed by NY based Attack, a "multidisciplinary creative team that is an 'agency within an agency' at Wieden+Kennedy" for KCDC Skateshop "one of the most storied establishments in NYC’s skate culture". The tshirt is one of a set of 5 tees that accompany 5 skateboards for Summer 2010 and will be launched on July 9th. I'm wishing to get one myself/

vaca das cordas

There's a bull somewhere in this cloud of dust. I've been yesterday to Ponte de Lima to attend a feast of "Vaca das Cordas".

So they give wine to a bull, then they conduct him through the streets of the town to finally bring by the river, where they try to catch the animal and grab by the horns. the bull is tide with ropes and being controlled by few guys that keep the ropes.

Yes, I chickened out so there are no close ups available.

Braga vs. Poznan

To all of you who think, that we never get hot weather in Poland. Although Braga, Portugal on average is warmer than Poznań, Poland by 6°C, the summer can be very similar - hot! :)

everything everywhere

That is a pretty unbelievable thing to do, check this out: "What do you get when you combine two of the biggest telecommunications companies in the UK? The answer is fairly straightforward: You get everything, everywhere. And that’s exactly what the new parent company, starting operations on July 1, 2010, will be called. Everything Everywhere™.

It will represent the new 50:50 joint venture of France Telecom (owner of Orange) and Deutsche Telekom (owner of T-Mobile) in the UK market."
