At the shopping mall, Hoog Catharijne, and the adjoining Central Station Utrecht the ‘Call of the Mall’ will be held this summer. In the hallways, on the walls, on roofs and other “hidden places” visitors can see art from more than 25 artists from home and abroad. Artworks Call of the Mall is organized by the ‘Stichting Kunst in het Stationsgebied’ in cooperation with the city of Utrecht. Artists will try to catch the digital and technical changes of our times in the mini-society of ‘Hoog Catharijne’ and at the same time show the visitors the consequences.
No more waiting for two hours until your laundry is finished in an boring launderette… Two young advertisers Dries Henau and Yuri Vandenbogaerde launched the new concept the ‘Wasbar’ in Gent last October. The concept is simple, the ‘Wasbar’ is a combination of a launderette and a pub. While you have to wait for your laundry, you can drink something, eat breakfast or lunch, browse on the web, meet friends or even have your hair cut. On some evenings you can eat tapas and concerts are organized. What started on a small scale, turned into a great success. They soon will soon open a second location of the concept in Antwerp and a third in Leuven. There is also a request to franchise.. Look also at the launderette in Amsterdam.

In California the first Legoland hotel in the United States has been opened. The Legoland hotel has 250 rooms and each room is decorated after one of the three themes: pirate, adventure or kingdom. The children have their own separate room with bunk bed and a treasure hunt game. The hotel is not entirely build out of tiny bricks, but it does have 3,400 sculptures created with approximately 3 million Lego pieces. For example the wall behind the check-in desk is entirely made of Lego bricks, but also the potted plant on the counter. The hotel guests can also enter the Lego Park, that is located besides the hotel. Watch the video about the hotel.
