Opera: Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte" at the "Theater Freiburg" (Germany)

I recently saw Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte" ("The Magic Flute") at the "Theater Freiburg". It was a really good representation of the opera and I enjoyed it a lot. 

Here are some impressions from my night out at the opera:

Pastry Tour: "Café Sprüngli" Zurich (Switzerland)

Some weeks ago, I tried out "Café Sprüngli" in Zurich (Switzerland) and liked it a lot. The pastries I tried ("tartelette Saint-Honoré" and "Himbeertörtli") were great and I loved the interior: turn-of-the-century flair paired with a touch of alpine charm. Rating: Four stars out of five.

Two of my Ladurée Favourites

I love anything Ladurée, but I do have my preferences. And here are two of my favourite boxes which I brought back from my last visit at Ladurée:

At the 13th International Congress for Eighteenth Century Studies in Graz (Austria)

Last summer, I attended the 13th International Congress for Eighteenth Century Studies. This event, which only takes place every four years, was held from the 25th to the 29th of July 2011 at the University of Graz (Austria). Its main subjects were "Time in the Age of Enlightenment: Situating the Present, Imagining the Future" and "Central and Eastern Europe in the Age of Enlightenment".
