Büdelsdorf revisited – since every year the NordArt is taking place in that forlorn suburb with the quirky name, also in 2018, I visited bye:myself.
Apart from the annual changing exhibitions, some of the works – especially the sculptures in the gardens – stay for longer. For instance this NICHTS-sign. NICHTS was made by Klaus Gündchen from stainless steel in 2011.
As you already know from this post, the NordArt is a very nice, annual art event. Obviously, you cannot compare it to the Biennial in Venice.
Nevertheless, they show a great variety of international artists. The NordArt has been one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe, after all.
Location location location: This is a roundup of some of my adventurous accommodation choices. I’ve actually made them in search of the best price-performance ratio.

Ms Tina Uebel is telling her absolutely fascinating story about how she travelled from Hamburg on Germany’s West coast to Shanghai on China’s East coast. Yes, there are probably hundreds of people doing this every day. But do they do it by train? I don’t think so!

Also, we are not talking about the touristy, comfy Transsiberian here, the Titanic of trains. No, Tina Uebel took the ordinary trains – in total 19 of them! It took her seven weeks from Hamburg across Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia – in total eight countries! – all the way to Shanghai.
When you hear what Hamburg-based journalist Meike Winnemuth decided to do with her jackpot after she won half a million at the German edition of Who wants to be a Millionaire?, you’ll be sooo jealous!
Hanging out on a Hawaiian beach – certainly one of the best options to spend a jackpot on.This Way to the Whole Story ->
