Vandalism


And now something completely different :)
Graffiti . I've been drawing letters for some time now, but never had a time to finish it properly.
I decided to do all the colouring in photoshop because its easier then a marker and i don't think i'm good enough to take it to the streets
Drawing was the tricky part, i destroyed an eraser completely before i was happy with the result .
I have a total ignorant point of view on the subject so don't destroy me , it's just the harmless fun

Meerkat manor


Isn't he great !? I love meerkats, maybe it's a leftover after Lion King...who knows ( remember Timon ? :D ) After i watched The Meerkat Manor documentary on BBC i was quite stunned, i didn't realise their social life is so complex ( more than some of my friends )
And finally the time has come for a real life encounter , in Flamingo Park , on Isle Of Wight

Insane tourists in Paris ..man i wish you could see that, they were jumping out of the couch in hordes and photographing every thing...EVERY SINGLE THING..i'm not kidding
i always thpught that was a myth, but its not..they're insane and it's hilarious to watch.
The problem is deeper though..

PARIS (Reuters) - Around a dozen Japanese tourists a year need psychological treatment after visiting Paris as the reality of unfriendly locals and scruffy streets clashes with their expectations, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

...Already this year, Japan's embassy in Paris has had to repatriate at least four visitors -- including two women who believed their hotel room was being bugged and there was a plot against them.

Previous cases include a man convinced he was the French "Sun King", Louis XIV, and a woman who believed she was being attacked with microwaves, the paper cited Japanese embassy official Yoshikatsu Aoyagi as saying.

"Fragile travellers can lose their bearings. When the idea they have of the country meets the reality of what they discover it can provoke a crisis," psychologist Herve Benhamou told the paper.

The phenomenon, which the newspaper dubbed "Paris Syndrome", was first detailed in the psychiatric journal Nervure in 2004.

Bernard Delage of Jeunes Japon, an association that helps Japanese families settle in France, said:

"In Japanese shops, the customer is king, whereas here assistants hardly look at them ... People using public transport all look stern, and handbag snatchers increase the ill feeling."

A Japanese woman, Aimi, told the paper:

"For us, Paris is a dream city. All the French are beautiful and elegant ... And then, when they arrive, the Japanese find the French character is the complete opposite of their own."

Kali ma


Kali, also known as Kalika (Bengali: কালী, Kālī / কালিকা Kālikā ; Sanskrit: काली), is a Hindu goddess associated with death and destruction. The name Kali means "black", but has by folk etymology come to mean "force of time (kala)". Despite her negative connotations, she is today considered the goddess of time and change. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence. More complex Tantric beliefs sometimes extend her role so far as to be the "ultimate reality" or Brahman. She is also revered as Bhavatarini (literally "redeemer of the universe"). Comparatively recent devotional movements largely conceive Kali as a benevolent mother goddess.

Calm



Lake District in Cumbria is without a doubt the most beautiful place in England i visited so far .
The weather wasn't great but i went there in winter for a reason - no tourists .. peace and quiet, no buses, no people, no mobile phones. Highly recommended
