Tales of the Travelling Tear III
Paris
Lunch in Paris is a brisk walk into a boulagerie and picking up a savoury and a sweet. Most days, lunch is a walking affair. A moving visual and gastronomical treat.
One day, it was a sit down lunch at the balcony.
Left to right-Tear, éclair, peach croissant, banana
Here, the second apartment we rented near Charonne, a rare and beautiful Paris via a balcony.

Tales of the Travelling Tear II
London
In the Natural History Museum, we looked at taxidermy or the likes of it. I cant stop being fascinated by their morbid cuteness.
And we stared at rocks.
When properly displayed and surrounded by simple beautiful typography is quite a treat to browse.

Tales of the Traveling Tear
Paris
We took an apartment in Île Saint-Louis for Paris. St Louis is an island located in the heart of Paris. A little oasis of quaint, quiet streets surround by the beautiful Seine. Walking around aimlessly while waiting for the apartment to get cleaned… it rained.
but would rather snuggle with the cold and lonely bicycle.

The Green Handkerchief and various bundles of joy
2 weeks ago ago Mimipong was in Shanghai to receive the Green Hankerchief Award by Psychologies magazine of Hachette Filipacchi Media
We were awarded as one of the 10 individuals in China who have contributed to the environment. There is nothing I would like to receive for a trophy more than a handkerchief!!(I have detached it from the frame it came with).
Psychologies magazine had generously sponsored a trip for two to Shanghai and two nights stay at the Hyatt. Upon arrival, I was greeted with these bundles of goodies . It was pretty awesome!
This welcome bundle contains yummy Kiehl’s products and an issue of Psychologies with a write up on Mimipong and other Green Hankerchief awardees***.
The next bundle was a gift from Hiro’s okasan. I love the bunny on the furoshiki! After 4 layers of Japanese packaging are cream cookie sandwiches that comes in 2 flavour: original and green tea.
The green tea flavoured cream tasted more like black honey accented green tea and was held between butter cookies. Biting into them elicited a satisfying crunch and then a rich decent flavor of savory sweetness. They were so good I only had pictures of what was left… The box, gift wrap and a catalog of probably more amazing sweets by Takoya…
The latest issue of Little Thing magazine coincidentally came with a free furoshiki.
This Green Life issue features organic markets around the world, stylish girls with their stylish bicycles, a write up on Jane Birkin’s straw basket and more… It also has Mimipong’s showcase in Shenzhen featured on the back pages. I imagined to have thoroughly enjoyed this issue if I could read the content but for now, looking at pictures will do .
‘The Saddest Place on Earth’ visits Shenzhen
is Mimipong’s first fully sponsored showcase and is organised by the fine folks of Little Thing magazine. Being flown down to a foreign city, put up in a hotel to attend a show that started out as (and still is) a hobby is a nice feeling… and a big pat on the back . It makes all the sleepless nights, mad rush and moments of sheer panic a tad more worthwhile.
