CFS Loves 65

This CFS Loves edition comes from Paris. I am whipping around the world at the speed of light it seems. Let’s pretend for a moment I am writing to you from a charming Parisian pied-à-terre, my dachshund at my feet.

Not a garret that somewhat resembles a hotel room, just now with 8 people sharing it. It’s so funny… the room retains the original hotel feel – tacky painting, a desk for correspondence, a side table, there are just 4 sets of bunks shoved in. It’s very ‘romantic’. That said, my fleeting roommates are lovely! We’ve been sharing beer and shampoo – instant friendship. As such, this little collection of links is vaguely travel themed…

• The frugal pleasures of Paris in summer.

• Barbara Krueger is the latest artist to revision the tube map cover (David Shrigley has done so before). And while we’re underground, I found this article: Suicide on the Tube – what happens when you hear about a passenger incident.

• True Story: I Did A Religious Pilgrimage. Sarah Von interviews an intrepid walker.

• Time Out’s list of 20 great things to do in Berlin.

• Tourist Magazine - an ever evolving platform for art, music, some kind of fashion and literature, edited by Sanna Helena Berger.

• Abandoned, unloved, and Japanese? This way to 10 ghostly spots in Japan.

• This one is just pure inspiration. Graphics, interiors, products – the Protein feed is brilliant.

• Subway systems of the world, presented on the same scale.

• By the way, if you want to make me happy like a crocodile at a playground, you can still cast a vote for me in Cleo’s Wonder Women campaign. Email cleo@acpmagazines.co.nz with a vote for Amber Parkin / Blogger. Put WONDER WOMEN in the subject line and include your name and contact details. Sweet as. I mean, merci!
