Sneakerplay is a new network site, a global community specifically designed for enthusiasts and people of the international sneaker culture. The amount of possibilities on the network is just incredible and layed out in an easy to understand, user-friendly way. This is definitely the first Network site that I have come across that clearly targets the market of the sneaker enthusiasts/fans and that also delivers to these people everything they need. At Sneakerplay one can create galleries, tag and organize collections, start battles to face off shoe by shoe with other members and of course bottom line – meet new people and see great sneakers. Its all about Sneakerplay - all day! Info from Highsnobiety

Macadam Macadam is a hip-hop show created in 1999 by the spanish choregrapher Blanca Li. This show is one of the best Suresnes festival production (more than 100 representation in 2 years). After a tour in France, Europe and the United States, the show is back 7 years later with a new dancers team. Macadam Macadam is a " street culture " show mixing hip hop rythm, music-hall, dance, rollerskating, bikers and acrobatics. The swho is very pleasant to watch, humouristic and punchy. It's worth it even if I was a bit disapointed...Yeah, I've watched it 5 years ago with the original team and I thought they were much better...anyway, if you got the chance to see it...you can go for it!

I hate: taking time to shave my hair, the feeling of wet socks, hear my dad snoring, wasting my time in the underground, to be run out of my mobile phone battery, having a hangover every sunday morning... ..
