<description><![CDATA[After spending the weekend in London the daily routine bites harder than it usually does. Neverthele]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">After spending the weekend in London the daily routine bites harder than it usually does. Nevertheless the good thing is I actually don’t have to fight it back because this week I’m participating in seminars in four star hotels with three courses work (geek) lunch including a ‘free’ Brussels skyline. The only thing that makes all of this less glamorous is the fact that I caught some nasty tube germs, so I have to sniff my Vicks inhalator quite often (and we all know that doesn’t even come close to sniffing coke at Canary Wharf).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So it only takes one teenage dream in a teenage circus to realize that all that glitters is not gold. This is with the sole exception of everyone who was going through (late) puberty in 1994. Because back then busses still had a glittery name (e.g. “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”) and were good for an instant cult hit at theatres instead of nowadays’ delays.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Anyway, there’s a stage musical based on the original story of two drag queens and a transsexual on a bus trip across Australia running in London’s Palace Theatre. Let it be clear that if you prefer Oscar Wilde over Thai brides doing unspeakable things with ping-pong balls, all of this might just not be your cup of tea. Moreover everything in the stage version is overstated. Even the gags became cruder and more camp. Actually it’s all about an eye-poppingly extravagant spectacle. If this is your thing you might definitely want to check it out.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For those visiting London shortly I also recommend the Pop Life exhibition at Tate Modern. The show takes Andy Warhol’s statement that “good business is the best art” as a starting point in order to examine the ways in which the Pop art movement has built up its own brand and personae since the 1980s. In doing this it focuses not only on the fame, fortune and the links between them; but it also tries to distil a whole chapter of modern times in which a particular kind of art turned itself into pure commodity. It’s a deeply superficial show full of glitz and gloss.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At its centre stands – obviously – the figure of Andy Warhol (the dull, hyper-energetic narcissist who proclaimed that art needed to get out into the world and amongst the people – hence the quote). What more can be said than this: mainstream enough for everyone to know and eternally enough to be impossible to ignore. The revelation of the day might have been the Jeff Koons’s room. Albeit as a extremely raunchy interlude consisting of a giant plastic sculpture of Koons humping his porn bride while being surrounded by various photographic close-ups on the walls showing the latter licking and lapping at her where it counts (I’m trying to be cryptic here). Of course we were also bound to come across a few bits and pieces from Damien Hirst’s ‘Beautiful Inside My Head Forever’ spectacle of 2008: the calf in formaldehyde with gold hooves! The gem-studded butterflies! Whole rows of diamonds on shelves! Next on is a gallery entirely treated to the colorful and lovable cartoon characters (inspired by the anime and otaku lifestyle) of Takashi Muraki, trying to integrate that peculiar “Japanese-ness” into Western (art) structures.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Taking my post from last week into account and with all of the above, you should&#8217;ve booked your train seat to London by now while bearing the following in mind: &#8220;if you&#8217;ve got no kind words to say, you should say nothing at all&#8221;. Here&#8217;s your song for the week: <a href="//www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5i3-8RWvFA" target="_blank">The Maccabees &#8211; No Kind Words</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Bye-</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_718" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 168px"><a href="http://followyourtrolley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc02673.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-718 " title="DSC02673" src="http://followyourtrolley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc02673.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="158" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Harvey Nichols</p></div>
<p>Wir haben ja schon erwähnt, dass uns das kleine feine <a href="http://www.base2stay.com/">base2stay-Hotel</a> für einen kleinen Citytrip mehr als geeignet erscheint. Der Haken, der eigentlich keiner ist: es gibt kein Frühstück. Oder vielleicht gibt es das irgendwo im hintersten Kellerabstellraum und wir haben es bloß nicht entdeckt. Es hat aber auch nicht ansatzweise nach gemahlenen Kaffeebohnen gerochen, auch nicht dezent nach Eiern und Speck und so gehen wir mal davon aus, dass unser Breakfast diesmal nicht nur &#8220;not included&#8221; war, sondern einfach inexistent. (by the way: WIFI gab&#8217;s for free! ..ein Service, der ja ebenfalls in die strengen follow-your-trolley-Kriterien fällt)</p>
<p>Das Schicksal des nicht vorhandenen Frühstücks trieb uns geradewegs nach Covent Garden. Dort roch es nach Croissants, frischen Baguettes und Café au lait. Hmmmm. Ok, das ist nicht unbedingt typisch englisch, aber wen interessiert das schon, wenn er vor dem verlockenden <a href="http://www.lepainquotidien.co.uk/">&#8220;Le Pain Quotidien&#8221;</a> steht? Es sei gesagt: Wir haben wunderbar gebruncht, dass es feiner nicht sein könnte. Und die gute Nachricht: das &#8220;tägliche Brot&#8221; gibt&#8217;s von Australien bis Kuweit, nur keiner von uns Trolleygirls hat es bisher irgendwo entdeckt.</p>
<div id="attachment_721" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 146px"><a href="http://followyourtrolley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc02720.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-721    " title="DSC02720" src="http://followyourtrolley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc02720.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="136" height="103" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Filmset Covent Garden</p></div>
<p>Frisch gestärkt stolpern wir direkt in ein verregnetes Filmset. Ach ja, es regnet. Durchaus wechselhaft dieser Zustand, den man in London Wetter nennt und der die &#8220;Investition Regenschirm&#8221; in greifbare Nähe rücken lässt. Variante B: wetterunabhängiges Kaufhaus-Shopping. Wir entscheiden uns für B, umbrellas are totally overrated!</p>
<p>Harvey Nichols heißt der Ort, an dem (Weihnachts-)träume wahr werden. Taktisch klug kämpfen wir uns vom 5. Stockwerk abwärts. Man muss ja nicht gleich zu Beginn in der Beauty-Abteilung den Duft-Attacken übereifriger Parfumeusen zum Opfer fallen.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Ganz oben erwartet uns ein Sammelsurium textiler Eitelkeiten von Twenty8Twelve bis Elizabeth&#38;James und eine auffällige Ansammlung anzugtragender Kleiderschränke. Man hätte gar nicht gemerkt, dass höchstgradiger Promialarm herrscht, hätten die grimmigen Jungs nicht eine ganze Abteilung aufgescheucht, damit ihr behüteter Promi ungestört rote Stringtangas in die Hände der Verkäuferin legen kann, die wiederum brav ein Teil nach dem anderen auf dem Kassenpult stapelte. Nun ja, vielleicht hätte man es doch gemerkt, das Outfit der Lady sprach die &#8220;Ich bin ein V.I.P&#8221;-Sprache: Rote High-Heels bis zur Decke, dazu sehr schrille Leggings und eine sehr dunkle Sonnenbrille. Wir haben aus der Ferne gerätselt, uns sogar in die bodyguardfreie Zone namens Umkleidekabine gemogelt und plötzlich war die Lösung nahe&#8230;Beyoncé! Klar, die muss es gewesen sein! Unsere vage Annahme korrespondierte etwas später auch mit einem <a href="http://www.instyle.co.uk/news/beyonces-harvey-nichols-shopping-spree-24-11-09">Online-Artikel der InStyle.co.uk</a> und ließ somit jegliche Zweifel endgültig dahinschwinden.</p>
<p>Aber was soll man sagen, die Welt dreht sich weiter und glamourös sind wir selbst! Und wir wären ja nicht die Trolleygirls, wären wir nicht frisch-fröhlich in die edlen unterirdischen Hallen des <a href="http://www.hakkasan.com">Hakkasan</a> gestapft. Wir mussten uns ein bisschen beeilen, weil wir das unvorteilhaft gelb gekleidete Servicepersonal eine halbe Stunde warten ließen und Tische derartiger Locations heiß begehrt sind (Anna hat unseren Tisch wohlweislich Jahrhunderte vorab reserviert). Aber wir konnten den schlankesten Mini-Spargel und die köstlichsten Prawns aller Zeiten verspeisen und sogar Kokos-Mango Pannacotta und Mini-Trüffeltörtchen lagen noch perfekt in der knapp abgesteckten Zeitzone. Natürlich ließen wir es uns auch nicht nehmen, wenig später an der Bar &#8220;Walking Buddhas&#8221; und &#8220;Pink Mojitos&#8221; zu schlürfen, die mehr als doppelt soviel Budget verschlangen wie Wagamama satt für alle. Aber somit konnte an diesem Abend die Suche nach einer Brise Glamour beruhigt und erfolgreich beendet werden.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_715" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 190px"><a href="http://followyourtrolley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc02744.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-715 " title="DSC02744" src="http://followyourtrolley.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc02744.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="180" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">base2stay</p></div>
<p>base2stay? Erwartet man unter diesem Namen ein Villenappartement mit Erkerfenstern, manikürten Buxbäumchen und schmiedeeisernen Gartenzäunen mitten in Kensington? Prinzipiell nicht. Und wer traut schon einer Website? Wir jedenfalls spätestens seit unserer fast vergessenen Hotel Cezanne-Episode in Cannes nicht mehr!</p>
<p>Dass Überraschungen aber nicht immer böse sein müssen, haben wir schon bei unserer Landung in Gatwick bemerkt. Ok, es war eine wohl einmalige easyjet-Erfahrung mit den bereits erwähnten einschränkenden Gepäcksbestimmungen, die wir mühselig aber erfolgreich umgangen haben (Stichwort: der große Beutel für alle Fälle, der ein dreifaches Ausmaß an frauenüblichem Handgepäck fasst und somit nur mehr als ein Handgepäck zählt).</p>
<p>Die erste schöne Überraschung: blauer Himmel in London &#8211; gibt&#8217;s denn sowas? Rein ins Taxi und auf nach Kensington vorbei an Nase-hoch-Plätzen wie dem Eaton Place. Auf dem Weg gibt Trolleygirl Isi &#8211; schon eine Stunde früher quer durch den Ärmelkanal unterirdisch von Frankreich angereist (dann doch fast lieber easyjet <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8211; ersten Bericht über die Unterkunft, die Verheißungsvolles vermuten lässt. Und tatsächlich, man kann sich zu diesem einzigartigen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ganz und gar nicht beklagen. Es dominiert die edle Farbkombination Schwarz-Beige und das Lächeln&#8230;</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>&#8230;des Rezeptionisten. Ja, so lässt sich das aushalten, das hat Stil. Ein großflächiger Flatscreen ist ebenfalls mit an Board, der später noch eine tragende Rolle in diesem Trolleygirls-goes-London-Szenario spielen darf. Wir werfen das Gepäck ab, lassen uns einmal kollektiv auf kuschelige Betten fallen und drudeln wenig später in einem der allgegenwärtigen Wagamama&#8217;s um die Ecke ein, um unseren Mägen ein bisschen Asia-Futter zu spendieren. Im Anschluss gibt&#8217;s im nächstgelegenen Pub noch Pimm&#8217;s mit Gingerale für Anna und Stephie, zwei Bierchen für Isi und Jea. Die Getränkekarte rühmt sich mit Biersorten aus aller Welt und wer hätte schon gedacht, dass &#8220;Mac Queen&#8217;s Nessie&#8221; tatsächlich aus good old Austria stammt. Wieder etwas gelernt&#8230;</p>

<description><![CDATA[The view from my office today: watching leaves as they fall from the trees, realising that Winter is]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">The view from my office today: watching leaves as they fall from the trees, realising that Winter is just around the corner. I have to admit that lately, I often spend such a long time thinking about how to express myself that I forget what I wanted to write down in the first place. And since I don’t find the time anymore to write a decent blogpost I’ll keep it short this time.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This weekend I’m in London again. When I come to think of it there’s always been something about seeing the Union Jack that has conjured up all these fun scenes of swinging sixties, friendly-sounding bobbies and musicals. Okay, London was never love at first sight and even now I still don’t have those larger-than-life feelings about the city (contrary to other people). But the truth is that I really came to appreciate England&#8217;s capital more than before.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I think it’s the contrast within London that is most fascinating. It has some of the most beautiful open spaces (“London’s lungs”) and yet some of the streets in the old parts of London are so narrow that it’s almost impossible to see the sky. Moreover there’s the diversity. London has always been a city of many cultures and many faiths. Its residents reflect a wide range of national, cultural, racial and religious backgrounds (the result of a history which has included invasion and expansion). Moreover the different communities are part of the mainstream contemporary life. They not only have helped build today’s vibrant Britain, but have also contributed to its economic, social, democratic and cultural development. Again, clearly much can be learned from their experience.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Anyway. In order not to become a total bore I’ll stop here and end with a nice track I stumbled upon this week. It&#8217;s everything we love about guitars and boys. Bloc Party might not want to stay on hiatus too long with these boys around:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJDCMth8poM" target="_blank"> Two Door Cinema Club – I Can Talk.</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Bye-</p>

<description><![CDATA[So, dann wollen wir mal: Den Trolley entstauben, Tickets ausdrucken, Reisepass suchen und das gesamt]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, dann wollen wir mal: Den Trolley entstauben, Tickets ausdrucken, Reisepass suchen und das gesamte Kiehl&#8217;s-Proben-Sortiment für das reisetaugliche Beautyprogramm in Hotelbadezimmern herauskramen. Alles für den wichtigen Moment: unser heiß-ersehnter London-Trip. Trolleygirls on tour again. Diesmal in good old Europe.</p>
<p>Ist das jetzt so spannend, wie damals vor einem Jahr, wo die Destinationen Honolulu, L.A. oder Sydney lauteten?<br />
<!--more--><br />
Wir sagen: Ja. Genauso spannend, wenn auch völlig anders. Europäische Metropolen entdecken hat auch etwas für sich und erfordert ebenso viel Vorfreude und Planung. Wie peinlich wäre das denn, nach einer erfolgreich absolvierten Reise um die Welt, nun bei einer kurzen Reise um die Ecke ein wichtiges Reisetool zu vergessen &#8211; das Lieblings-Lipgloss etwa, oder ach ja, den Reisepass vielleicht. So einen London-Kurztrip schütteln wir Trolleygirls doch quasi im Halbschlaf aus dem Ärmel!</p>
<p>Achja, da war doch noch die Sache mit der Überraschung. Also, die Sache ist die: Jea und Stephie &#8211; die eingespielten Travelmates von Napa bis Macquarie &#8211; holen sich Verstärkung, die da heißt&#8230;*trommelwirbel*&#8230;taaraa: Isi und Anna. Europareisen machen mit doppelt soviel Leuten ja auch doppelt soviel Spaß! Wir sind schon sehr gespannt, wie sich unsere Neuzugänge ins bewährte Reiseteam integrieren, aber beide haben den Aufnahmetest bestanden. Die eine durch einwandfreie Tipps und Empfehlungen von Hotel, Restaurants und Clubs, die andere durch die Mitnahme eines quietsch-orangefarbenen XXL-Trolley, der sich bei easyjet-Flügen mit folgender Formel beweisen wird:</p>
<p>XXL-Koffer mit 1/2 Leerraum beim Hinflug = (Shoppingdesaster x 4 Mädels) x nur 1x easyjet-Gepäcksgebühr.</p>
<p>Wem das jetzt alles zu kompliziert ist, dem sei gesagt: Für alle Eventualitäten ist der &#8220;Beutel&#8221; (Die Trolleygirls berichteten letztes Jahr live aus Vegas) auch mit dabei, der schluckt nach wie vor so einiges, wenn es sein muss auch vierfaches Handgepäck. So, dann wollen wir also mal. 4 Trolleys werden heute gepackt und morgen geht&#8217;s nach München und weiter nach London! Trolleygirl Nr. 4 (die mit dem gaaanz großen Trolley) kommt direkt aus Frankreich angereist und checkt schon mal unsere Hotelbase  &#8211; wir sind ja sooo cosmopolit!</p>
<p>Stay tuned, Travelfans! Ab sofort gibt&#8217;s uns auch via Twitter und facebook!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.spottedbylocals.com">Spotted by Locals</a> is een verzameling van blogs over steden, geschreven door locals. Zo kun je, naast de bekende trekpleisters als toerist ook op plekken in de stad komen waar de lokale bevolking het liefst naartoe gaat. Op die manier kom je meer te weten over de cultuur en gewoontes van de stadsbewoners. Volgens de initiatiefnemers Sanne en Bart van Poll, zou de wereld erop vooruit gaan als we meer begrip en kennis hebben over verschillende culturen.<br />
<a href="http://projecthoop.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tacheles-berlin-by-bart-van-poll.jpg"><img src="http://projecthoop.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/tacheles-berlin-by-bart-van-poll.jpg" alt="" title="tacheles-berlin-by-bart-van-poll" width="475" height="356" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1062" /></a><br />
Sanne en Bart reizen zelf alle locaties af om de bloggers eerst te ontmoeten en vervolgens zorgvuldig te selecteren. Dat is goed te doen voor de reisfanaten die in Amsterdam wonen, want er worden alleen Europese steden beschreven op Spotted by Locals. Verder zijn er interviews met spotters op de website te vinden en schrijven ze over lokale culturele fenomenen. Beloningen van de locaties waar ze over schrijven worden geweigerd, dus de informatie is eerlijk en objectief.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Er is veel te zien in de wereld, veel te ontdekken, zowel ver weg als dichtbij. Ik heb veel landen en steden op mijn verlanglijstje staan en ik hoop dat ik dat lijstje mooi kan afwerken gedurende de komende jaren. Aangezien ik nog vrij jong ben, student en daarbij dus niet zo&#8217;n dikke portefeuille bezit, is het logisch dat ik begin met de bestemmingen die zich dichter bij huis bevinden.  Gisteren koos ik voor Maastricht, of Mestreech met het plaatselijke dialect.</p>
<p>Het uitstapje naar Maastricht was een verjaardagscadeau voor mijn beste vriend, 21 jaar mag gevierd worden. &#8217;s Morgens zeer vroeg vertrokken riching Nederland met de steun van de NMBS om dan rond 10.00u aan te komen. Na zo&#8217;n lange treinrit hadden we op zijn minst iets verdiend en wat is er dan beter dan een waar &#8216;Champagne ontbijt&#8217; in een trendy espressobar! In <a href="http://www.boulevard-maastricht.nl/" target="_blank">Boulevard</a> hebben we genoten van een bagel, croissant, een vers glaasje fruitsap en &#8230; een coupe prosecco, mmmm. Na ons luxueus ontbijt hebben we even gekuierd over de rommelmarkt voor de deur om daarna over de Maas richting het winkelcentrum te trekken.</p>
<p>Het winkelcentrum van Maastricht is groot, groots. Je vindt er alles. Van Zeeman tot Prada en talloze kunstgallerijen. We hebben onze ogen de kost kunnen geven in de vele gezellige winkeltjes. De straatjes zijn klein en stralen iets pittig uit. Op de pleintjes bevinden zich verschillende cafés met terrasjes waar men voor een correcte prijs van een kopje koffie (of een latte macchiato) kan genieten.</p>
<p>Naast kledingwinkels en kunstgallerijen zijn er ook enkele mooie gebouwen terug te vinden die het bezoeken waard zijn. We hebben even een kerk bezocht en ook het stadhuis is een pareltje voor het oog. Een derde gebouw dat zeker de moeite waard is, had wel een zeer speciale inrichting. Ook dit was ooit een kerk, maar nu was het niets minder dan een gigantische boekenwinkel! Een overrompeling van volk, en boeken, maar dat leek me ook maar logisch, met zo&#8217;n prachtlocatie. Het bewijs dat we er geweest zijn:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-104" title="sp_a0486" src="http://vinculada.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sp_a0486.jpg?w=225" alt="sp_a0486" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>In de namiddag hebben we ons tegoed gedaan aan een &#8216;broodje maatje&#8217; of  &#8216;broodje garnalen&#8217; op de plaatselijke markt en achteraf nog een portie &#8216;kibbeling&#8217;, een nieuwigheid voor ons, maar lekker!</p>
<p>Na een hele dag wandelen, verschillende drankjes op gezellige terrasjes en handen vol zakken (lichtjes overdreven) keerden we tevreden, en zeker voldaan, terug naar het Belgenland. Het was de moeite waard &#8230; en we komen terug, wees daar maar zeker van!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Zij die naar Antwerpen willen komen, maar begot niet weten waar naartoe. Zij die verlangen naar de geheime plekjes van een stad, maar niet weten hoe er te geraken: er bestaat gelukkig zoiets als <a href="http://www.spottedbylocals.com/">&#8216;Spotted by Locals&#8217;</a>. Een website waar je de <em>hotspots</em> van bepaalde steden van een insider kan leren kennen. Je krijgt de vaste stekken van de lokale bewoners op een dienblaadje.  Zo&#8217;n website is toch een geweldig alternatief, geef nu zelf toe. En bovendien ultra <em>up to date</em>, want spotters houden de vinger aan de pols en zorgen dat de informatie van toepassing is op de moment dat je erover leest. Veranderen de openingsuren? Dan is het ook zo op de site&#8230; Je hoeft als citytripper dus niet langer in louter toeristische oorden te vertoeven of de typische toeristenfouten te maken, geleid door de duffe achterhaalde gidsen.</p>
<p>Sinds enkele weken ben ik een spotter. Als je dus doorklikt naar Antwerpen kan je mijn favoriete plekjes en die van een aantal andere spotters vinden. Niet dat ik nu zo&#8217;n belangrijke referentie ben voor Antwerpen, maar ik hou wel van mijn stad en ik woon er ook al mijn leven lang. Ik ben dus in mijn dagelijks leven op zoek gegaan naar mijn vaste favorieten en ik heb ze bekeken met de ogen van een ander. Het effect is dat ik bepaalde plekjes echt wel terug ben gaan waarderen&#8230; Het is dankzij <a href="http://www.dipfico.be/">Niko</a> dat ik nu ook een spotter ben. Hij dacht dat het misschien wel iets voor mij kon zijn&#8230; En dat had hij goed geraden. </p>
