Lifestyle: Festival Packing List



EN// As you could read on my facebook page: this weekend is all about packing for the Rock Werchter festival which starts this Thursday. Since I have been going to festivals for quite some time now (the first one was in 2004) I think I have mastered the packinglist by now. I do confess: I'm a luxury festival-camper. I go by car, and take a sh*tload of stuff with me. 
While I was typing this list in Dutch for my personal use, I thought it could be handy for you guys if you are attending a festival for the first time. So my packing list is posted down here, in Dutch. You can translate it via Google Translate. Since there we so many English lists around, I thought I might contribute for all the Dutch speaking peeps. 

NL// Zoals je hebt kunnen lezen op mijn facebook pagina staat dit weekend in het teken van inpakken voor Rock Werchter voor aankomend weekend. Omdat ik al naar best wat festivals ben geweest (mijn eerste was in 2004) ben ik van mening dat ik wel een vrij goede festival paklijst kan samenstellen. Nu is dat wel heel persoonlijk, en ben ik wel een luxe festival ganger. Ik ga met de auto en neem ontzettend veel zooi mee. Dat was in 2004 wel anders toen ik met 1 rugzak met de trein naar Werchter ging. Aangezien ik voor mezelf mijn lijst aan het typen was, dacht ik dat ik hem net zo goed kan delen hier op mijn blog. Misschien zijn er nog wel mensen onder jullie die voor het eerst naar een festival gaan, dan heb je zo een idee waar je allemaal aan kunt denken. 
ps: Als je met een (grote) groep gaat is het ook top een partytent mee te nemen, houd er alleen wel rekening mee dat ie het festival waarschijnlijk niet gaat overleven.... Mijn (geleende!) partytent heeft het nog geen 24h volgehouden 3 jaar geleden.... Overigens is een steekkarretje om op en neer te lopen naar de auto ook slim om te regelen!

Diary: Hip & Happening Berlin


Berlijn

So, I haven't been blogging much, so what was I doing? I was in Berlin baby! Hip & Happening Berlin.
Every year the man and I take a little trip in the second week in March to cellebrate our anniversay. Well technically our anniversary is tomorrow: 9 years together! Can't imagine life without him; can't even remember my life before Matt. Well enough on the sloppy details. Berlin!
I love this city. I did have to get used to it; it is so cold, icey snow everywhere, and most of the buildings are just concrete boxes. But the fashion, creative vibe, streetstyle, artwork are Hip & Happening.

So what are you looking at?
- The bearth taking Hollocast memorial; it's flabbergasting
- From where I stand; both wearing Adidas kicks
- The Branderbuger Tor; another breath taking site, it's so big!
- Street art at RAW (make sure you check out RAW in , guessing it'll be a vibrante creative mess in summer)

Berlijn1

- Nike Town purchases! Yeah, Nike Town is HUGE! I had a field day! All the limited edition tights, tops and shorts (that are not available, or sold out in 10 minutes in the Netherlands) were on sale! Yeah ON SALE! I tried on half the store. I'll show you what I bought later on this week.
- Chai Latte; yep I drank a lot of them, multiple a day! This is the first city where you can get a Chai Latte in every cafe or snackplace. I'm loving it!
- I have always been a big big fan of Andy Warhol; so on my last day in Berlin I visited the Hamburger Bahnhof museum . I love contemporary art, so this is the museum for me. I saw a great installation of Martin Honert, which is on display till the 7th of April. If you have the chance go and see it, it's worth it. Above all this massive painting of Mao by Warhol is a must see! It is as big as my house! (and my house is quite big..)
- On my way home.... waiting, waiting, waiting, to finally board the plane.

Some tips:
- All the shops (even MacDonalds!) are closed on a Sunday; I'm not kiddin'. Make sure you plan you shopping spree on another day. The shops in the main shopping area are open till 20h every night (except Sunday that is)
- Berlin is colder then the Netherlands; don't forget that! Beanie's, gloves, snowboots, ski jackets, even ski pants, it's all on the streets. Indoors it's very warm, every shop or bar has the heating on HIGH! So layer up.
- Berlin is BIG! Make sure you get a metro-card to get to all the good places! The Ku'dam is nice, but don't spend more then 2h there, there are much better places to spend your time and money (e.g. friedrichshain)
- Berlin is quite cheap for a European Capital.
- My geuss is that Berlin will be even more vibrant in Summer. So I'm planning to go back there when the temperatures are up :)

Well these are my tips on Berlin for now. Expect to see my shoplog on what I got at Nike town very soon.
You can see more pics of my trip on instagram! (@amysfashionscrapbook)

Have a good week!
