Motorworld Stuttgart

Like a giant Matchbox display box, these high horsepower toys are on display at Motorworld
The Motown of Germany is Stuttgart, Baden-Wuttenberg in the south west of Germany. It is the capital of the state of Baden-Wuttenberg and the 6th largest city in all of Germany. It is an industrial city that surprises many by the amount of green space and parks it maintains within its borders.

A visit to the "cradle of the Automobile" would not be complete without a visit to Motorworld to look at its collection of high value and historic automobiles.

Nice rides are parked inside and out

Just a row of Lamborghini, nothing to see here.... 
It started its life as the airfield for the King of Wuttenberg, and then later the State Airport where it housed airmail planes, zepplins, and production of early passenger aircraft made by Leichtflugzeugbau  Klemm.
New colleagues at with IC.IDO and Immersive Environment at ESI got an eyefull at Motorworld

Here on the second level more cars packed into translucent boxes

Dining area on the second tier available for rent and high end catering

Usually only seen at Concourse d'Elegance these beauties dazzle

A bit more affordable, a Fiat 500 Abarth (the original)

StringGirl looks forward to a ride in this Cabrio

A Porsche Diesel certain to be unaffected by Dieselgate

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February.

Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
