The Land of the Long White Cloud
New Zealand's maori name is called Aoteora, which is translated into the land of the long white cloud. So thankful to have lived at such a beautiful country.

Peace and Love
Finally, my first Cirque du Soleil experience and I was definitely not disappointed. During the entire show, I was on the edge of my seat, dreaming to do nothing else but be part of their creative process. However, I have pieces to the story I couldn't decipher. So here is a snapshot of the inner-workings behind Cirque du Soleil's creative thinking in partnership with The Beatles.
LOVE connected the imagination of Crique du Soleil and the imagination of The Beatles. All the remixes that were heard in my LOVE experience were recreated in The Abby Studio where The Beatles were first recorded. They would sometimes remix one Beatles soundtrack, or a particular beat on another.
The show's opening "Get Back" was set on the rooftop, recreating their spontaneous LIVE rooftop concert. The rooftop concerts was one of their last concerts. Most of the scenes were illustrated very literally like "Octopus Garden". There were literally artificial octopus's hanging from the ceiling of the production, and that was all was prepared for that particular song. However, most of the songs were portrayed with a powerful connection to a historical phenomenon relatable to the audience (WWI & II various human rights movements). All the cast members were characterized as free-spirited, spontaneous, young, street-wise, basically "Beta Beatles". Cirque Du Soleil made sure to incorporate modern day urban culture into the production since urban culture primarily characterized The Beatles. There was a scene dedicated to in-line skating and the various tricks they had up their sleeve.
Overall, the mixture of creative ideas and sound visuals created a real powerful show. You will walk away with a new perspective on how to visualize the world around you, and also a room to appreciate surreal imaginative ideas.

A Tribute to the Cold Weather and to "Stuff Whilte People Like"
#111 Pea Coats
As the temperature starts to drop, many white people are forced to start wearing winter coats. Though many will simply don outdoor performance gear, a great number will turn to the #1 white winter jacket of all time: The Pea Coat.
The Pea Coat was originally worn by sailors and members of the European Navy. If you think about it for a second, this means that the coat is European, Coastal, and Vintage. Three of white people’s favorite things.
Another common characteristic of the coat is that white people will write their names on the label inside the coat. This is not done for fear of theft, but rather as a necessary precaution against party mixups. You see, when a white person attends a party in the winter time they will often be required to put their jacket in a room with literally dozens of other pea coats! Since these coats often contain ticket stubs to the same concerts and identical Trader Joe’s receipts, it can be impossible to find the original owner without a name written inside.
Like with sweaters, the process of acquiring a Pea Coat is almost as important as the coat itself. Fashionable white people can purchase designer pea coats for well over $1000, but the top ranked white people purchase their at Army Surplus stores. This makes them feel better than the white people have spent thousands of dollars on an identical piece of clothing.
But perhaps the greatest value of the pea coat is its ability to help you determine which non-white people have been accepted into the ranks of white people. It is not known if the coat is given to them in an elaborate ceremony or if they buy it themselves, but in either case by wearing the coat they are telling the world that they have white friends.
Long story short, if you want to increase your popularity with white people this winter, get a Pea Coat.

100 Contemporary Architects
It was my birthday on Nov. 3 and I received one of the best gifts ever! The Taschen's 25th anniversary Special Edition: 100 Contemporary Architects. It comprises a comprehensive study of architecture around the world from the dawn of the 21st century. Here are some of the images from the collection. The two massive books must weigh at least 1/3 my size...maybe more? 
About the author:Philip Jodidio studied art history and economics at Harvard University, and was editor-in-chief of the leading French art journal Connaissance des Arts for over two decades. He has published numerous monographs on Tadao Ando, Santiago Calatrava, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, Jean Nouvel, and Álvaro Siza.
Herzog & De Meuron, my FAVORITE architectural firm and architects. I looked into their work a few years ago at Harvard's GSD. Amazing, amazing work!
