HORN OK PLEASE!
Indian truck art is a tradition, a culture. The drivers of these trucks spend so much time in them and giving them fantastical paint jobs makes the mundane more exciting.

But they did provide a headset which narrated to […]
BUDAPEST!
In our last days in Europe Orien and I decided to check out Budapest. We snagged an inexpensive ride from Vienna on Carpooling. It is the first time I’ve used this site and it is great. We found a ride the day of for just 14 Euro each (the cheapest bus ticket I found was […]
Vienna loves Gold. Musings at the Art History Museum.
The Natural Art History Museum or the Kunsthitorisches Museum in Vienna is packed full of gaudy golden goodies. Really, so much of it. They love their gold and they are obsessed with ornamentation. AND CHERUBS. Golden eggs A golden platter inlayed with mother of pearl A golden Pasha on his golden horse (getting the idea?) […]
