Tree-house Café!

What a great concept! I will have my reservation as soon as the restaurant is ready! (which, according to the news, can be booked, starting tomorrow, right after the scaffolding comes down!!!!).

Anyway, the design by the New Zealand based Pacific Environments Architects, is currently under construction on a site north of Auckland. It is so interesting how it all began. When NZ Yellow Pages conducted a marketing promotion to show how competent they are in helping you complete any project, they decided to really prove it. They started building a restaurant 10 metres up a redwood tree! The main idea was to source all products and services through Yellow Pages listings. Now that’s talking the talk and walking the walk for real. Besides, it looks fantastically exciting; I cannot wait to experience the whimsy of it all!

Sigh… we are obsessed with them. Well, at least I am. So Nate was telling me about this interesting map assembled with the country codes of the world. It encompassess all the United Nations countries including numerous islands and territories. Notice the size of the industrialized nations.
