Picnopolis
 Tokyo
Picnic Club (TPC)'s "PICNOPOLIS NewcastleGateshead" is
a FREE event which invites you to share 10 days of picnic throughout
the city.
As part of EAST'08 - a world-class celebration of contemporary Asian
culture in NewcastleGateshead - TPC will create two different kinds
of picnic site, BABYPLANES and MOTHERPLANE, providing a unique opportunity
to enjoy summer in the city. During the 10 days, BABYPLANES will
travel around the best picnic sites in NewcastleGateshead as chosen
by the public, while MOTHERPLANE stays at Gateshead Quays awaiting
the return of her babies. All sites are open and free to everyone
for picnic, but be careful because TPC will have its spies out documenting
your picnic recipes to compile "10 Picnic Recipes for NewcastleGateshead".
