Tall Ships

We sailed from Kadıköy to Karaköy to see the exhibition of Tall ships ( http://www.tallshipsturkey.org/) on the coast. We: Önder, Defne, Zala and me-myself-I!After long sleep-dream-sleep of 13 hours (!!!), it was like a deep breath...In spite of the rush hour on th eboat, we were lucky enough to save seats in the open air part of the boat! and of course, Defne was the point of attention of the rest of the paasengers, with her super retro outfit and a fake rose bud that she hold all night!
Tall ship exhibition was just interesting and that's it. At some point we just could not help us to have fun with the giga-picture posters surrounding the exhibit space. This very picture is actually a kind of mirror-image of the real topogrpahy just across the sea:)))
Are not they funny?
Love,

let the blog fly like my red balloon...from harlem to mid-west

Last night, again, I passed out around 10.30. My intention in leaving my desk, full of articles and papers and notes and pens and pencils and markers and staples and mugs, was just innocent: to rest my back and then I would get back to my work. My work= writing my paper. But...but I was in the land of nowhere, with a red balloon....in the end. My red balloon flew me over the upstate to the midwest...I was surrounded by smell of spring, wheat and a hot dog:)
New York is freezing since yesterday...and heating in my apartment was totally active by 6am in the morning.
A new movie for the list....
A new poem...not written by me but fits to the context;)

DREAM

My mother died/In a dream/Last night/And my waking up
Crying/ Reminded me/ Of my crying when/One holiday morning/
My balloon/slipped through/ my fingers/And I watched it
Rise/Into the sky.
