Turpan is a city in the North-West of China, along the silk-route.
One of the better hotels in town is Hotel Turpan. Ideally for business meetings but also good to get a room.
There is one souvenir you can collect in literally every country on this planet.
In my collection amongst others:
the Romanian Leu, the Brasilian Real, the Chinese Yuan, the Kazakhstani Tenge the Indonesian Rupiah and the Central African CFA franc. But also the Cambodian Riel, the Chilean Peso, the Australian, US, Singaporian and Canadian Dollar.
In the streets of Hanoi you will find many cool looking sign and posters.

Just outside of the citycentre of the capital of Lithuania lays a quarter called Uzupio.
This, rather rundown, part of the city has been declared independant many years ago by the poets, artists and squatters that lived in that part of town.
On a crumbling wall, Uzupio's 41 constitutional rules are stated.
These rules vary from 'Every cat has the right to be a cat' to 'Everyone has the right to be misunderstood' and even 'Everyone has the right to die, but this is not an obligation.'
On normal days you can walk in and out of Uzupio without any problems but on april the first, fools day and independance day for Uzupio, guards in clownesque outfits smiley-stamp your passport when you want to enter the freestate.
The area has a nice atmosphere and there is a free vibe with people walking around with instruments and artwork, a lot of colourful graffity on the walls a number of galleries and many houses that have artistic amendments.
Every year in February a Brasilian Carnaval is organised in Groningen. Nob it's not the real 'Rio de Janairo' - deal but still...

Everywhere on this planet you will find streetsigns. Simple graphic images that will point out a danger that is ahead or acts that are forbidden.
Art exhibition in the 'Waterloopbos' near Marknesse
Started the 6th of June.
Could art change the climate?
With this question seventeen international artists were sent into the Waterloopbos, an almost exotic forest in the Netherlands.
