2006-07-06/07 . Munster

Today we (Raimund, Xiaoling and I) began our post-final eurotrip, and the first stopover was Munster. Bolles and Wilson were the reason why we chose to stop over in this little city bordering Germany and the Netherlands. The library they designed was quite interesting, very well detailed, almost like a machine, pretty much like what I would design...very articulated components and an interesting spatial configuration. But I guess the vigor of the detailing took the emphasis off of the space and I guess that's where it lacked...

Though this may be our first stop, we spared no time in making purchases...Raimund and I each bought a Swiss sling bag for 10 euro each...obviously 'cause of swiss fans; later on in the afternoon, we each bought a pair of footwear; I got a pair of Onitsuka Tigers for 50 and Rai got a pair of Birkenstocks for 47 i think...

Dinner was pretty nice, sausages and salad with pickled chillis from the supermarket near the train station. We were waylaided a little by a rather talkative but hospitable turkish grocery shop owner where we got the pickled chillis and my calling card...
