For few weeks, I’ve let myself be alone and be silent. I really don’t know the reason. Even though I was trying hard to figure out, I haven’t found anything.

I know I need to recover my ennergy, therefore, I forced myself to go out for some fresh air before I became a “Autism".

Meanwhile, I visited the Guggenheim Museum because I was condused if my columbia student ID card was still  avaible for free admission. In addition, I’ve passed the Guggenheim Museum for so many time, but I’ve never entered it.

Unfortunately, the consequence was that my columbia student ID card couldn’t be used for free without fall semester sticker. For this reason, I didn’t pay for it and just went around the ground floor taking pics. Besides, every saturdays evening, there is target free for public. In fact, I’m planing to go again on one of saturdays’ evening. Perhaps, I can’t show you the images of exhibitions because I saw some makers of “Cameras are forbidden". Anyway, we will figure out.

After that, I sautered around the East side of Central Park and thought about taking a bus to enjoy the sunny day. Although, the temperature wasn’t high enough to let myself stay out side so long, I still stood there more than 15 min for waiting my bus. The Upper East Side is a really elegant place. Almost all museums and rich people are there. I wonder one day, I can live there…haha….it’s just my daydream. 

Yesterday, I waited my sunny day finally. NYC had been rainning day for a whole week. Therefore, I woke up early to hang out with myself. First at all,  I stop by the “H&H Bagels” for my breakfast and then, I decided to visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum by bus to enjoy the fabulous central park after-rain view.

P.s I want to add one extra info:  I used to buy Murray’s bagels because it’s on my school way and just $1 for each. If u r my friends, u might know I’d like to try the new thing. Therefore, I was thinking I needed to try the “H&H” yesterday when I passed there.

**Report**Comparing the price is “Murray’s” win ($1 v.s $1.4), the size is  “Murray’s win, but I can’t compare their tastes. They are so different. Actually, I like both, but I’d better buy in “Murray’s” for saving my money.

In fact, it' wasn’t my first visit.

My first visit was last year. I still remembered clearly it seemed a bad experience for me and I really didn’t want to go there again because these exhibitions disappointed me a lot. After that time, I’ve told everyone don’t go there. For this reason, I was a little worried when I arrived in front of the museum.

Fortunately, from yesterday’s visit, I changed my opinion. I could see this museum has been tried to improve and develop. The workers of Museum standed on the doorway to welcome every visitor with charming smile. This action let me feel so warm, especially, in this cold weather. In conclusion, I want to share some part of my love to this museum from now…haha…

In the National Desin week, they offer free admission from 18 to 24 oct. If you are in NYC, don’t miss this chance….Enjoy it!!!! 

P.s In the Museum. the camara is not admitted, so I could show u the design exhibitions. Sorry then.

MOMA is one of my favorite Modern Art Museums, as a result, I’m used to visit there at least once per month.

Last visit, it was before my Paris’s trip, I profited 2-hour break time to stop by there. Before my visit, I hadn’t checked the current exhibition’s info. I just looked around whole building very quickly cz most part of exhibit weren’t renewed yet. Until the top floor, I found something interesting.

That special exhibition already showed in the Pompidou (in Paris, and also my favorite place) in 2008. Yet, in MOMA, it was put into a darkroom. When the visitors entered, they must have fixed their eye on every lovely chair. So amazing!

The designer is “Ron Arad” (Israeli, Born in 1951).  He stands out among the most influential designers of our time in the industrial design, sculpture, architecture, and mixed-medium installation.

“OH VOID ” <--  & –> “ BODYGUARD N*3 ”

--> a series of “ TOM VAC ”

"RIPPLE CHAIR ” <--  &  --> a series of “ BIG EASY ” 

“ LOLITA ”(Lighting) /  one of “ BIG EASY ” (Chair) <--  &  --> unknown, kind of high intensity projection lighting or clock.

“ GE-OFF SPHERE ” (Lighting) / “ PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS TABLE ” (Mirror Tables)

Inaddition, of course, there were not only these design products I love, but also the others weren’t displayed in MOMA this time. If u also appreciate this designer, u can go “HERE”. Enjoy it….

P.s Since I didn’t register the ESL this semester, I’ve felt my english getting worse……….How can I do?

話說兩個星期前..藉由學校的報告..大伙就組了一個小小旅行團去自然歷史博物館

我愛海生館..科博館..現美館..等等..總之就是愛這些..我覺得很有趣..

其實..我們的小旅行團只有…”四人"...哈哈

但我們可是有導遊的唷…(就是下圖右邊那位男士啦)

館內實在很大..是我逛過所有自然科學博物館第一大的吧…

所以能參觀的東西多到一整天都看不完..只po幾張讓大家過過癮囉

可愛的刺蝟小姐

超超超大的海獅先生

(懷疑真實的海獅有可能長那麼大嗎?..真的很大唷..大概跟河馬差不多)

特別的是還有礦石區唷..看到好多超美的寶石..好想通通帶回家..哈

當然館內一定會有人類進化史, 地球科學等等之類的東西..

該有的通通有..不該有的也不少..但我們花了一個下午..

能是走馬看花晃了一圈..想趁這次假去再去一次..改天在來報告後續..

但是能抽空跟大家出去散心..真的很開心唷…

有興趣的人請見官網

Museum of Natural History

中途其實有人已經在喊餓..不是我唷

之後導遊先生在帶領我們前往用餐地點 "Shake Shack Burger”

導遊說..本店在Brooklyn..冬天不營業

但在Marrathan也有分店囉…就在我跟導遊家不遠處..

聽說在Madison Square Park也有一個露天小攤販..

我真是有口福呀...雖然我對burger一向沒啥興趣..但是現烤的果然比較好吃..

到我的注意力還是一直停在那個deeper上..好好玩...

有機會大家也去試試吧..不知道台灣有沒有..但我確定巴黎應該是不會有啦..

之後..導遊又說要去冰淇淋店..救命..那天天氣好像不熱吼

那天晚上跟Iva有約..就沒辦法陪他們去看電影了..脫隊去參加另一攤

另一攤就是Iva的離別Pa...因為她已經回台灣去囉..轉戰北京...

大家都要努力朝目標前進..加油加油!!!

又是個好久不見…趕快亂po一篇

還記得..我之前一個人去Lyon (里昂)看展+流浪的事嗎?

這次ㄋㄟ..本來很開心有Kieth Haring展可看..且還免費唷

結果只有這幾面牆…雖是真跡..但是好像有點空曠ㄟ..

害我千里迢迢去了Brookln…唯一收穫就是晃了晃Broolyn & Queenx

畢竟平常都不會去這麼遠…

還發現一間很可愛的咖啡廳唷..晚點Po...待續..先趕作業去..bye!

又是幾個星期前的東東..

雖然今天考完了試..但明天還要繼續別的考試..

即使心情high不起來...但還是想更新一下blog...有沒有很感動呀..

好吧...應該是沒有...先來po這一篇囉...

某天跟班上同學去逛"大都會博物館" ...(中文不知道是不是這樣翻)

其實逛不到幾分鐘..大家都興致缺缺..有人還先偷溜..吼

其實我沒有特別喜歡它..他感覺有點像是.."Musée du Louvre"

除了埃及館逛完外..其他就都隨便晃晃..沒有想像中的大..

因為某位s 同學說一天逛不完..騙人...明明就不大呀...

我想羅浮宮還是大許多..畢竟連走完都要多很多時間ㄋ...

晃呀晃..看到了一小區"非洲文化展"..立即吸引了我的注意..哈哈

由於我再等兩隻小豬..所以又找找看有無有趣的東東可以看

沒想到還有現代藝術呀..只不過只有一小區..令我印象深刻只有這個頭..

它真的很大...頭的size 比正常的頭要大好幾倍...令我有點小害怕...

感覺很嚴肅...如果當時旁邊沒有人..我應該會快快離開現場...

拖了很久..終於等到兩隻小豬的電話...

沒想到居然跟我說..裡面附設咖啡廳沒東西吃...直喊肚子餓

硬拉著我去另一間附設餐廳吃東西..吼...我整個學期都在當保母

幸好保母日子快結束囉...倒數3天....

說歸說..還是捨不得大家....

唉..又是晚了一個月的"新鮮事"

無意間在網上看到有一些私人工作室開放參觀的消息...滿心期待...

展覽期頭幾天我就匆匆跑去晃了一圈..也拿了簡介...

但超令我失望..怎麼說ㄋ...看到上圖的服務台沒...

雖然造型很可愛..但服務台卻連個人影都看不到...怎麼回事呀..怪怪

結果...工作室都關門...或是根本找不到...吼...覺得有點被耍...吼吼

不過不過..唯一令我高興的事....有免費的"Macaron"可以吃唷...

因為某間甜點店也加入這次的活動..順便做一下廣告宣傳...

但我想這間店平常應該生意就已經還不錯了唷...

所以當然還不錯吃啦...開心ㄋ....

沒想到在這異鄉.還能吃到令我懷念的甜點

感動到都快哭了....

我紐約生活最新消息..我打算一篇新文夾雜一篇舊文..

不知何時才能把巴黎生活做個結束...

NYC 持續約一個多月的日本產品設計展..展場不大..但蠻有趣的

上面是Chiaki Murata日本設計師設計的..我最近愛上他的東西

有興趣的人可以去看他經營的品牌網站http://www.metaphys.jp/

雖然展示了不少椅子..

但我卻獨愛這張..它讓我感覺很舒服..彷彿被兔子包圍....

設計師: Kazuyo Sejima+Ryue Nishizawa/SANAA

附上椅子的詳細介紹..

這次展覽令我滿意的還有..下圖的明信片跟簡介..都超可愛..

"New York City = Big Apple"...

跟大家說唷...巴黎有檳榔西施展唷..很炫吧

但是已經過期很久了。。。ｈａｈａ
