Notting Hill Carnival 2010


London’s Notting Hill Carnival returned for its forty-sixth year in 2010.
Check out the parade route, costumes and masks, the great soundsystems (they were massive speakers stacks everywhere) and Caribbean food stalls with jerk chicken, rice and peas and rum punch as well as the odd taste of other exotic cuisines. This is a gallery of what we have seen at Europe’s biggest, brightest and best street party on Monday 31st of August!

L.E.D.

L.E.D. : London Electronic Dance Festival. During the massive UK bank holiday weekend, Victoria Park hosted its last festival of the season. The Friday’s instalment boasted headline sets from house giants Calvin Harris (follow him on http://twitter.com/calvinharris , his tweets are cool!), our beloved Belgium brothers Soulwax and Mr. David Guetta, just back from another successful F**K Me I’M Famous night at Pacha Ibiza. Another big crowd was pumped by electro-banger Tiga and mask-wearing Italo duo The Bloody Beetroots in the big tent opposite the main stage. Saturday’s line up with Goldfrapp, Leftfield, Annie Mac and many more had to compete instead against SouthWestFour festival at Clapham Common, big hitter of the season, sold out weeks before. Check out our photo gallery!

A weekend in Oslo


Are you planning a trip to Oslo? Few tips from us for a fantastic stay in the Norwegian city capital! Oslo is green, bring your sport gear for a healthy run in one of the beautiful park (you can easily choose the Royal House Park or the amazing Vigeland Park) or rent a bike; get blond hair so people will take you for a local native; do cool hunting, street shots are recommended for good fashion tips; do not get shocked if you meet just families with at least 3 kids and a dog, it’s the house rule; order dinner before 9.30pm if you do want to invest your money in McDonald and Tgi’s Friday; do not feed seagulls at Aber Brygge, by the port, these animals can become really bad enemies of your sunset break; bring at least two credit cards, euros is not welcome and cash (locally called kun) just in very rare places.
Enjoy the gallery of an extraordinary sunny weekend in Oslo!
