parrworld... .. .

I was in Munich for the first time about a month ago when I decided to go to the Haus Der Kunst to take in some contemporary art..

As I was approaching the entrance I saw a security guard tell a guy to go around the back, so I followed. A red carpet led me into a big fancy lobby full of suits, dresses, and champagne. Clearly I had walked in at the right moment as everyone began squeezing to enter another room. So I entered also.

It turned out to be an exclusive unveiling of Martin Parr's Parrword show. Martin Parr is a fantastic British Photographer who also is a collector of photography and many different things.

Parrworld premieres Luxury (his latest series) and also takes you deeper into his world with his variety of collections.
This is a great show, so if you are in Munich before Aug. 17th than make sure you pass by. Or, if you're in Europe than make sure you go to Munich. It's full of all kinds of goodies such as Parrworld.


Hamburg, the odd.

I was going to call this entry Hamburg, the funny (part 2), but upon further inspection I decided against it... I found this at a grocery store here in hamburg. I little box of salty licorice candies called Spunk. There is also a label on the package that says something like candy for adults, not for children. Weird huh?.. I haven't tried them yet... .. .
