    Haas Design Collective, Cape Town

    Haas: coffee and art. When I lived in the colorful area of Bo-Kaap 7 years ago, I couldn't imagine finding SUCH a place there at all. But all these years later, things have changed for the good. Bo-Kaap is an area of Cape Town, South Africa formerly known as the Malay Quarter. It is quintessentially a Township, situated on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city centre and is a historical centre of Cape Malay culture in Cape Town.

    What can you do on a weekend in Kuala Lumpur? I bet most lomographers would bring their arsenal of photography goods to shoot around Kuala Lumpur, but isn't that too common already? Have you ever tried taking photos at the wet market? This article is for those who love street photography.:)

    Transient Living: Getting to Know the Neighborhood in Denver, Colorado

    <i>Editor's Note: The past several years saw <b><a href="http://www.lomography.com/homes/maliha">Maliha</a></b> frequently moving from one place to another, a sort of nomad who likes the thrill of starting anew and finding her place in every city she stays at. In the last decade she has spent in the USA, Maliha has stayed at six different cities in five different states. Currently, Maliha is based in Denver, Colorado, and "Transient Living," a new series in the Lomography magazine, documents her experiences and the ways that she has come to call this city her home.</i>

    Kirkstall Abbey is considered to be one of the best examples of a medieval Cistercian monastery in Britain and with over 800 years of history and development, you do have to wonder...is it haunted?

    View from Vienna: A City in Black and White

    There are cities which seem to come to life when shot in black and white. Vienna is one of them! Considered by some as a large town, or small city, Vienna has her own unique charm which could stun any lomographer!

    El Cabanyal: A Former Fishermen's Quarter in Valencia, Spain

    First there was a fishermen's village, then there was a spa, and now I say, 'enough is enough, let's declare this place a national heritage site!' Valencia has developed into one of Spain's coolest cities but some of the old areas are under constant threat.

    Brick Lane Coffee, London

    Brick Lane Coffee - as quirky as it gets. This is what their web site page says: "We're locally owned and have been getting your orders wrong since 1999. All our milk is organic and always has been (even before it was trendy). Our coffee is fair trade organic and sourced directly by us (we've visited growers in Papua New Guinea twice)". Now here's what I have to say about it.

  • Travel Back in Time and Get a Village Feeling!

    Travel Back in Time and Get a Village Feeling!

    Not too far away from the Schwabenmetropole Stuttgart in the south of Germany are a few small villages you might want to visit because you can travel back in time. Some places there haven't changed since the 70s. I know because I grew up there. It's only 15 minutes by car from the airport of Stuttgart and while you're at it: visit the incredible butcher there, get some great Schnaps from a more than 100-year-old family business or if you have the money, have dinner in one of the best restaurants of the whole country! But that's not my opinion because I haven't been there, I just read that from a gourmet guide.

    Catch the Beautiful Sunset at Danshui, Taipei

    The next time you're in Taipei, remember to take some time and enjoy the beautiful sunset at Danshui. It is one of the places I'd definitely take friends who are visiting Taipei - on the Old Street, you can find awesome local street food and fun night market games; if you take a short ferry ride across to the town of Bali and the Fisherman's Wharf, you'll find yourself in the perfect place for a scenic walk by the coast.

    The Spirits of Fort Delaware

    Fort Delaware, a notoriously haunted military fortress built around 1817, served as a prison during the US Civil War. Much suffering and death occurred at this site, located on an island in the Delaware River. When my daughter's fifth grade class took a field trip there, I jumped at the chance to play ghost hunter. Here's what I found.
