Shopping hopping places all over

Looking for one-of-a-kind treasures 

This summer I spent two weeks with my friend Len in Itlay, in these little cute villages in Tuscany. Of course the food in Italy is wonderful, healthy and absolutely tasty, but what I love most are the little markets in every village.
They are a tradition in Italy and it's the perfect place to find one-of-a-kind treasures. I just love to look at every stall and search for something interesting. I am a huge fan of vintage, because it's simply gives you the possibility to have something special and unique. Nowadays it seems like every city around the world has the same stores (H&M; Zara etc), but these markets are different and original. The merchants have a connection with their goods and even know a little story to tell about them and you have the chance to bargain over the price.

I can only advise everyone to take a stroll over one of these markets, get enchanted by the history-charged treasures and find your personal hoard.

Shopping? I don't think so!

<p>Well I guess most ladies of you know the situation: you've got all your money together to go shopping! <br>
Since months wa had been planning this day: we had saved our money, found the perfect day, planned the route and gathered the best team! Everything was settled for the big day! <br>
And everything started perfectly: all of us( my friend M., her friend L., and my friends P.and D.) found what we were looking for. D even survived Primark with 4 crazy girls and carried our shopping bags. After 5 hard hours of shopping and 5 bags for me alone we decided it was time to bring our bags to the car and quickly buy the last stuff before we would move on to the next city. <br>
I think we left the unattended for about 40 minutes...when we came back the first thing I recognized the glas on my seat. While I was wondering where the glas came from I noticed my missing shopping bags and D.'s missing bag. With another look I saw that someone had broken the window and had stolen all I had bought! <br>
Luckily he didn't seem to have time to have time to steel the rest, he even forgot my ipod, which lay on the seat.
So we called the police, but all the friendly voice on the phone told me was: come to the station....well thanks a lot. While cleaning my car from the glas, a not so friendly homeless yelled at us and threatened us to call the police. Well all I can say is: go to the office, they are not willing to come!
After spending hours at the station, the result was: we would never get our money back and the only thing that could help me now was sushi!
In conclusion I have to say: never leave anything in your car!
And somehow I also got an happy end: my lovely dad gave me some money back so I could buy some new stuff ;)
But my heart will never forget the guy who ruined my special shopping day!

I'm wondering...

Facebook couples

Lately, while scrolling down my facebook news, I recognize that more and more couples seem to spread there love life on facebook. They are posting thousands of photos, love messages and wall posts, as if they don't have another way to contact each other. 

Now in me the question grew if that's really neccessary. Why are they doing that? 

Do they really have to show the whole world how happy they are or do they simply want to torture us singles by sprawling there amorousness? 

I remember the times of loveletters and spoken words on the phone and no one had to know how much I loved my partner. Love was a private thing, a gift between two people alone. The pictures we took were for us and not for the whole world to see. 

Now loveletters are an old relict and mostly forgotten, a wall post has taken it's role. 

Well yes, it's not that much work. A love letter had to be planned wisely. You needed good paper, a good pencil and you took your time to find the right words. So in the end a love letter really expressed your feelings and meant something, because you put your efford in it. 

A wall post takes about one minute, which doesn't really mean efford to me. 

In the end you can't keep your wall post in a box under your bed, just to reread it after a time and smile again.
Wall posts are public and everyone can read it! Think: how many facebook do you have? Exactly. It's not romantic, it's not love, it's simply showoff, to me. 

No one, especially the singles, don't want to see happy couple photos. We don't want to know how happy you are, because maybe we're just out of an relationship or simply don't find the right one. So everytime we see these pictures, we are reminded of your situation. I'm not saying that singles are unhappy, not at all (I'm not ;) )  but too much love can make us sick. 

Facebook also can make relationships really complicated. I don't know how many fights I had because of facebook. It allows you to keep track of everything your partner does or who he knows. But do we really want that? In a relationship we're still two different individuals getting together, so we still should have our own life, without our partner. 

Perhaps my point of view is vintage but I really liked love letters and maybe it's time to just sit down and write one, instead of posting some shit on facebook just to make everyone know what's on your mind.
