So you’re traveling abroad, and you love the local arts and crafts, but you can’t afford the big art. Just go to the place the locals buy cloth to make their own clothes. You can find amazing, limited run textiles, beautiful like art, like this piece from Bangalore, India.
Let’s face it; sometimes travel is a drag. Big crowds, hassles, high prices. But even in a waiting crowd, like at the always crowded Grand Temple in Bangkok, you have to appreciate the little things. Like this very cute outfit on this kid.

was just given a major award as the best hotel in #Bangkok We often don’t agree with these awards, as there are many fine hotels in Bangkok. Incredible, though overpriced – rooftop restaurants and bars, great food, excellent location near the river and art galleries
Artists felt alienated from the political scientists and social planners who cannot understand how anyone is able to make anything, particularly a work of art, spontaneously or directly – a primo. He probably also spoke for a more general artistic attitude when he defended the artist’s ability to create simply ” because he has it in him” against the social or political thinker’s desire to rationalize all experience.
As you travel around the world looking at art and architecture, it’s easy to see that architecture has gotten a lot more boring over time. The interesting buildings are, for the most part, older buildings, like this court in Mumbai, India.
Something important is about to happen … as if the wonderful jeunesse (youth) of America were suddenly to retain their idealism and vitality and courage and imagination into adult life.
