[ TBT Bogota ] Barrio Los Puentes

3/11/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
When I visited Bogota, I spotted a colourful neighbourhood from my high-up hotel balcony while shooting the sunrise over the Andes. Turns out the zone has an interesting story. The streets are narrow and mostly cobbled and the architecture seems pretty dull from afar. I was told it could be a little risky to wander there alone especially with cameras since the area is rather poor and rough so I skipped it but after doing some reading about it, I'm already regretting this decision :-) I'll make sure I'll find a local who would know his ways well enough to take me with him for a tour when I'll return to Bogota.

The reason why it's so colourful today is a large-scale street art project lead by a graffiti collective called INK CREW that, together with locals, started repainting hundreds of houses of Barrio Los Puentes a few years ago in order to unite the local community around a common rehabilitation project in their home streets and to make the area simply look nicer as a start.

All details can be found below and you can stay tuned via the POKER TRIPS section for more #allineverywhere. Another major Poker event is coming up under my ROMANIA tag in February 2023. The Vamos Poker Tour will be off to Bucharest for its second leg.

[ Bratislava ] Winter is coming - the Poles are too

26/10/2022

The question arises naturally: 'Why a Polish Poker Championship in Slovakia?' I asked myself the question too, sneaked around a little bit, did some reading and I'm preparing an article about Poker and gambling regulations in Poland as an explanation to why the Polish Championship specifically is one of the historical big partners of Banco Casino in Bratislava and Kosice.

The Poles will be back in Bratislava from 28th November to 5th December for loads of Poker action!

[ #allin4ukraine ] Peace Demo in Luxembourg - Again and Again

I'm taking advantage of a stop in Luxembourg to get back in touch with the LUkraine association . A demo for peace in Ukraine was planned for this Saturday but had to be postponed to next week, the 29th October 2022. The meeting is set on the Clairefontaine square from 2pm. To be confirmed though since big fundraising actions are ongoing and the organisation is understaffed.

[ Honey, I'm back! ] Poker in Slovakia’s Capital

19/10/2022

Slovakia’s capital has been on my travel map numerous times already and it even looked like I was going to settle down a bit there for a while but the #allineverywhere force has been strong lately and I was not able to go back since late April 2022. Two months in Las Vegas, about two other months in Portugal and after a bunch of random trips to Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain or Colombia, I’m making a move to return to Bratislava soon!

Aerial shots between Brussels, Madrid and Bogota

10/10/2022

Everybody following this blog a little bit knows how often I get high and how much I like to document it :-) I used to spend quite some time piloting gliders in the past and since last year, I've been a drone pilot. I sure enjoy the new style of aerial views 'm getting but nothing compares to how I feel about the world seen from tens of thousands of feet in the air!

God Save the Stream

6/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Livestreams have often been criticised for opening the door to cheating. The recent J4 hand in the HCL stream brings the issue back into focus.

I've been doing some reading, wondering and writing about it for a recent PokerFirma.com article. Not for the sake of feeding the very mediocre 💩🤡 show that is going on but to illustrate how complex it is to implement this kind of technology securely without risking to harm the integrity of the game. Streamings have a high potential to take live Poker marketing to the next level but it also comes with a series of potential serious threats that could ruin the party by ultimately leading to players' and viewers' trust issues. Read the original article HERE in Djörmön. I've posted an English version below.
