Another Monday and I hope you all had a great weekend. I really had a great time as I met up with Ruth from Flixchatter, who is enjoying a holiday over here in Europe. So there now is one blogger who now knows my real identity, so I guess I will now have to call her Alfred from now on! We went to what probably was one of the strangest Indonesian restaurants as they were celebrating their 40 year anniversary by having someone sing French songs. Besides that the waiters were sponsored by Pepe Jeans and were wearing T-Shirts by the brand. Still the food was good and we had a great time. Ruth is visiting several places, one of them being Bruges, inspired by the movie. It made me wonder:
Are there any place you would like to visit or have visited that was inspired by a movie?
Yes, Tokyo is the one place I would love to go to. All because of the best film ever in Lost in Translation.
It helped me in deciding to go there and I visited a couple places of the movie when I was there.
Bruges from In Bruges. But I think it’d be a one day sorta visit place.
Though there aren’t many films that make me want to visit places, TV shows have a better hit rate of inspiring me. Like… Fraiser and Seattle. Or all the places Anthony Bourdain goes to in Parts Unknown.
Went there for a weekend and it was a beautiful little town.
Yeah, Bourdain does go to some amazing spots!
New York. I mean…. c’mon.
Yeah, so which movies? 😉 hahaha
One I have not visited either yet, but I would like to do so.
Been to London, Paris, Berlin, Ankara, all of the Panama Canal Zone, Belize, Saigon, Cali, Columbia and Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Christchurch and Cold Lake, Canada. Courtesy of military service.
Not that much of a romanticist. Though the Paris of ‘Charade’ is kind of cool.
That’s an impressive list of places!
Don’t know if I’ve seen Charade…
Surprisingly only one.
After buying a tour book of Venice I saw the Church that was used as a library from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. Discovering its name I found it on a map and walked there. I got lost, and in the process of trying to find it I came to the conclusion that when I fond it, it would most likely be scaffolled and closed. Sure enough it was. Luckily a couple of years later I was back in the city and saw it restored and opened–as well as got lost again looking for it.
I have never been to Venice, so would like to visit. Would be amazing to visit that church. Don’t think it would be bad to get lost in Venice!
