Kutaisi Hitchhiking out West towards Samtredia It's pretty hard to walk out of the city in this direction. You can minibus #8 until the large market at the western end of the city and hitch from there. Also you can take bus #1 from the centre (tourist information centre). Go out before the bridge, need to walk about 200 metres and hitch there Kitchen Helpers I found these helpful charts last week and just had to share! Both of these beauties are from Chasing Delicious (aka one of the most fab foodie blogs out there)! Aren’t they faaaaabulous?! Buy them here. The Canal St-Martin - La Chambre aux oiseaux - TRAVEL Continuing down Rue Bichat, we come face to face with La chambre aux Oiseaux. We had already heard about it several times, but we had never set foot in the place. Immediately we were attracted by the art nouveau and art deco interior design and the blend of styles. It fits right in with our tastes! Inspired by the 1920s, with a very beautiful English tapestry on the wall, antique wooden art deco style furniture fills the space, with little fringed lamps placed here and there and large upholstered bridge chairs placed around small tables. The floor in raw concrete, there is period porcelain, and a sweet playlist.

Cinnamon Rolls (Buns) Recipe Cinnamon Rolls: In the bowl of your electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment (can use an electric hand mixer), combine 2 1/4 cups (295 grams) flour and the yeast.

Does no one in this city ever rest?! It makes me pine for Sundays in Paris, when the city retreats into its secret corners and everyone does their own thing. But if you’re new to Paris or simply passing through, Sundays can often beg the question: now what do we do?
Inspiration: Origami Cranes It is said that when one folds 1000 origami paper cranes they are granted a wish. Source Source Source Top 5 : Best coffees in Paris - Ten Days In Paris Paris City Guide There are lots of things the French are very good at – baguettes, wine, cheese, not getting fat off baguettes wine & cheese, love affairs, well behaved dogs and going on strike, to name a few – but it is clear to say that making coffee is not one of them.  If coffee is indeed a language in itself, as Jackie Chan eloquently put it, then it appears to have been seriously lost in translation. And you can all but forget about ordering your coffee ‘to go’.  My latest attempt ended in me walking the streets of Paris with three miniature lidless plastic cups swerving about on the porcelain plate that the waiter had ‘lent’ me for the journey.

The egg can hold a surprising amount of candy and the tissue paper seems delicate making for a delightfully heavy and yet fragile object, much like real egg. Also like a real egg you have to break the shell to get at what’s inside. How Can You Travel the World For Cheap (or Free) - Dreaming and Wandering One of the biggest travel myths out there is that you need to be independently wealthy to see the world. I admit, I used to believe that myth as well. But after four years of travelling I know this is simply not true. It was only a few years ago when I remember watching many different documentaries on TV: all of which showing wonderful places around the world. I would often dream about visiting all of these places... (or at least Galapagos, New Zealand and French Polynesia...
