By | Arts and Culture, Travel | No Comments

About a street away across the Four Seasons Hotel is the Museum of Contemporary Art.  There are no entrance fees to the museum.  Only for Special exhibits that happens once or twice a year

It’s so modern that the elevators have these monitors indicating what is on each floor and the photos are looping

Family Tattoo

By | Arts and Culture | One Comment

I have seen tattoos of guys putting the names of their wives, but my cousin, Dino has a different kind of tattoo!  He has three!!!  

The first one is the name of his wife, Marivic which is not on his arm but in his back!
