Day 4 in Berlin and I headed to see some of the exhibitions that were a plenty.. Firstly checking in at the Deutsche Guggenheim to see Agathe Snow - All Access World show.  This took a while to get into as by its very nature was overloading..

Here is a link to the Guggenheim...

Sau Paulo to Berlin..

Posted by Dickie Webb on Sunday, March 6, 2011, In : ECA 


 It was about this time last year that I stumbled across this site about Sau Paulo and how the governor there is cleaning up the city and has taken drastic measures to do so.  He has removed all advertising from the city which as you can see from yourself in this link has had a dramatic effect of the feel to the city, I can only imagine how it must feel.
