Moscow, Russia
To promote exercise and the 2014 Olympics,
Olympic Changes installed a very special ticket
machine at the Moscow subway station.
Instead of accepting money as payment, the high-
tech ticket machine only accepted exercise.

Pennsylvania
Talking About Notebooks...
...this happened during the restoration of an early
19th century post-and-beam house in a remote
village in Northeastern Pennsylvania, where,
stashed under numerous moldy boxes of antique
books, fabric scraps and furniture fragments, we
discovered a leather-hinged wooden box
overflowing with seemingly worthless notepaper.
Closer examination revealed the significance of
our discovery: the box contained more than 800
drawings

Via Padova
Wang Jiao 1
In Milan, this is a very good restaurant. A Chinese
restaurant:
If we talk about interior design, this is probably
the one I like the most.
This is how the designers (co.arch) explain:
The idea was to create a Chinese restaurant
different from the imaginary, recovering some
typical elements of Chinese culture, avoiding
clichs.
A place where you can meet Italian and Chinese
people eating together and sharing good food.
The image of the restaurant is the typical way of
eating the Chinese: outside their homes, sitting on
baskets and lights hanging from the trees, is the
attempt to introduce this moment of sociality in
Milan.

Joyce, WA, United States
Silence is an endangered species, says Gordon
Hempton. He defines real quiet as presence not
an absence of sound, but an absence of noise. The
Earth, as he knows it, is a "solar-powered
jukebox." Quiet is a "think tank of the soul." We
take in the world through his ears.

Alina Ene writes:
Yesterday, it was about museums, today was
about silence.
In Bucharest there is the National Museum of the
Romanian Peasant. In this museum is a room about
time. It is a fascinating room and on the door it is
written:
"Beyond this door the time begins. Dare! Open the
door!"
I always been fascinated with this engraving and
its symbolism.
The curious thing is that most people don't dare
and do not enter. Once you enter the room, or any
museum for that matter, I believe silence is the
best tour guide.
Beyond this door the time
begins. Dare! Open the door!
