<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Besos para todos.</p>
<p>6-sep: Sintonitzza Festival? sort of. Plus: Busy P &#38; Dj Mehdi@Razzmatazz. Reconocimiento facial en directo de caras conocidas. Querer y poder verse fuera de eventos multitudinarios.</p>
<p>13-sep: Weekendance. Pffff, otra Simamonada, pero también es "trabajo". The Prodigy, you know.</p>
<p>19-sep and so on: Las cosas serias. BAM ünd Mercè. Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub, Alela Diane, The Streets, Chacho Brodas. El duro trámite de perderse a Lykke Li y Crystal Castles. Más cosas por ver, nacionales e inmigrantes temporales.</p>
<p>Septiembre siempre es un buen cierre.</p>
<p>Ah, y está Sant Sadurní d'Anoia y sus Fires y Festes este próximo finde, coincidiendo con el primer apunte.</p>
<p>Hijos de puta todos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="PostHead">di Andrea Bertaglio</div>
<div class="PostContent">
<p>Avrete sicuramente notato come i prodotti che ci ritroviamo ad acquistare ed utilizzare abbiano una durata sempre più breve. Borse e zaini o scarpe e vestiti che si scollano, rompono, sfilacciano dopo poche settimane o nella migliore delle ipotesi mesi che li si indossano; pentole e padelle antiaderenti (che già non amo particolarmente, nonostante l’incredibile praticità e comodità, perché vanno secondo me contro lo spirito stesso del cucinare, che richiede abilità e pazienza, e che è un’arte del saper aspettare e dell’avere continuamente cura di qualcosa), che si scrostano letteralmente al decimo lavaggio; asciugacapelli, lavatrici ed elettrodomestici vari che si inceppano (o in certi casi prendono addirittura fuoco!) sempre e comunque “in giovane età”; telefoni cellulari e fotocamere digitali che si rompono misteriosamente anche dopo sei mesi… Si potrebbe andare avanti all’infinito.</p>
<p><!--more--><br />
Ma perché accade tutto ciò? Perché il frullatore che ho in casa, risalente agli anni cinquanta e che ho avuto in dono, o meglio, in eredità, non da una nonna, ma addirittura da una bisnonna, funziona benissimo dopo più di mezzo secolo mentre la fotocamera, appunto, acquistata l’anno scorso (!) non dà più segni di vita dopo che il suo “display” si è rotto semplicemente stando in una borsa e che, a parere del negoziante vicino a casa, non può essere assolutamente riparata (a meno che non si vogliano spendere cifre esorbitanti), ma può solo essere sostituita <em>in toto</em>? (E poi ci si stupisce delle “emergenze rifiuti”!). Perché non possiamo più riparare qualcosa ma solo sostituirlo?<br />
Le risposte sono varie e più o meno complesse, ma, a parte il fatto che nella maggior parte dei casi abbiamo perso ogni capacità, anche solo di iniziativa, riguardante la riparazione degli oggetti che ci circondano e che ovviamente in certi casi non possiamo avere dall’oggi al domani (come si può poi avere la competenza di riparare una fotocamera elettronica?), i motivi principali risiedono nel fatto che, visto che ai geni del marketing e dell’informazione far apparire ogni cosa obsoleta ogni poche settimane dopo la sua uscita sul mercato non basta più, le merci (tutte, dalla più semplice alla più tecnicamente avanzata) hanno una scadenza programmata.<br />
Ci sono già fior di studi e ricerche a riguardo che non sto a citare in questa sede, ma sarei pronto anche senza di essi a scommettere che ormai si progetta la stragrande maggioranza dei prodotti in modo che si guastino o addirittura si debbano sostituire entro periodi sempre più brevi.<br />
Penso (e francamente spero) che sempre più persone abbiano iniziato ad essere insofferenti a questo ennesimo tipo di presa in giro che arreca danni non solo all’intero villaggio globale, dai lavoratori sfruttati nei paesi in via di “sviluppo” per produrre questa merce-spazzatura ai consumatori dei paesi “sviluppati”, ma anche ovviamente all’ambiente. Sempre più persone hanno iniziato a sentirsi profondamente infastidite dalle continue promesse di frivola felicità propinateci quotidianamente dai paladini della società dei consumi e della crescita economica (gli stessi, per intenderci, che con le loro speculazioni finanziarie e privatizzazioni selvagge ci hanno portato alla situazione attuale, al “1929 reloaded”, come lo ha definito di recente Maurizio Blondet). Sempre più persone sentono la naturalissima esigenza di sfuggire a queste “logiche illogiche” ed a queste tensioni e frustrazioni che ne conseguono, anche se in moltissimi casi ancora non sembrano rendersene pienamente conto.<br />
Che fare, allora? Le uniche due risposte che mi sento di poter fornire sono due:</p>
<ul>
<li>Re-imparare gradualmente a prodursi il più possibile i propri beni (cosa che urge anche al sottoscritto).</li>
<li>Smettere di comprare. Bandire il più possibile lo “shopping” dalle nostre vite.</li>
</ul>
<p>Questo non come ripudio totale della società in cui viviamo, non come voto di rinuncia, ma come allenamento per ciò che ci attende nei prossimi anni (che per l’appunto non sarà recessione, ma depressione), ossia una decrescita che per i più sarà forzata, e probabilmente non così felice. È forse l’unica forma di reazione, o addirittura di rivoluzione, che ci è rimasta nei confronti dei signori del marketing, della politica, della finanza e della crescita, che giocano sempre più con le nostre vite e che, più che delle persone, ci ritengono da parecchio tempo solo dei meri consumatori.<br />
Quando dobbiamo comprare qualcosa, almeno, teniamo presente i vecchi proverbi, sempre molto validi e molto attuali, tipo quello che dice che chi più spende, meno spende, provando a ridare in generale più importanza alla qualità che alla quantità.<br />
A costo di ripetermi, ribadisco che la decrescita è già iniziata in tutto l’Occidente, e sta a noi renderla felice.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“Lo spettacolo è il momento in cui la merce è pervenuta all’<em>occupazione totale della vita sociale</em>. Non solo il rapporto con la merce visibile, ma non si vede più che quello: il mondo che si vede è il suo mondo. La produzione economica moderna allarga la sua dittatura estensivamente e intensivamente. Nelle aree meno industrializzate, il suo regno è già presente con quello della merce pilota, e in quanto dominio imperialista esercitato dalle zone avanzate, lo spazio sociale è invaso da una sovrapposizione continua di strati geologici di merci. A questo punto della «seconda rivoluzione industriale», il consumismo alienato diventa per le masse un dovere supplementare che si aggiunge a quello della produzione alienata. <em>È tutto il lavoro venduto </em>di una società che diviene globalmente la <em>merce totale </em>il cui ciclo deve proseguire senza posa. Per far ciò, bisogna che questa merce totale ritorni frammentariamente all’individuo frammentario, assolutamente separato dalle forze produttive operanti come un insieme. È dunque qui che la scienza specializzata del dominio deve specializzarsi a sua volta: ed essa scompone in sociologia, psicotecnica, cibernetica, semiologia, ecc., vigilando all’autoregolamentazione di tutti i livelli del processo”</p>

<li><a href="http://inattesa.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/trattoria.jpg"></a>La società, questa società post-capitalista...</li>
<li>Sì, Marx s'era sbagliato, ma poi mica tanto</li>
<li>Il vero problema è quello della libertà personale...</li>
<li>Sì, della mercificazione dell'identità personale</li>
<li>Esatto, ormail il soggetto è ciò che acquista, ciò che consuma</li>
<li>I cambiamenti epocali, le rivoluzioni...oggi non ci sarebbero più le condizioni </li>
<li>Ma sai com'è, ormai, non c'è bisogno che non possa esser soddisfatto. Perchè mai ribellarsi? Perchè mai criticare, alzare la voce? In fondo è così rassicurante: metti nel carrello ciò che ti serve, paghi, torni a casa, cenetta, tv, doccia, nanna. La condizione esistenziale viene mortificata, la visuale è oscurata dalla paura dell'altro e della diversità, lo sguardo sul mondo è  pre-fissato dalle politiche globalizzanti...amore, perchè mi guardi così? Non sei d'accordo?</li>
<li>No, è che...hai del prezzemolo tra i denti</li>

<description><![CDATA[Via l&#8217;Avui llegeixo:
Els vots favorables d&#8217;ERC, CiU i PP han permès aprovar una propost]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Via l'<a href="http://www.avui.cat/">Avui</a> llegeixo:</p>
<blockquote><p>Els vots favorables d'ERC, CiU i PP han permès aprovar una proposta municipal per limitar fins a les 3.30h de la matinada els actes, festivals i concerts que se celebren al Fòrum. Aquesta mesura, si s'acaba aplicant, dificultarà la celebració del Primavera Sound, el Summercase i els concerts de la Mercè. (<a href="http://www.avui.cat/article/tec_ciencia/27206/lajuntament/limitara/lhorari/actes/forum/dificultant/la/celebracio/primavera/sound/o/concerts/la/merce.html">font original</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si aquesta iniciativa tira endavant provocarà o bé que els festivals afectats s'hagin de moure (però on millor per a la ciutat que al fòrum?), o bé que se n'adaptin els horaris, cosa que implica començar més d'hora (fotut perquè ja comencen bastant aviat, sobre les 18 o les 19h, i si treballes ja et perds els primers grups), o portar menys artistes rebaixant la qualitat i el renom dels festivals.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ara bé, s'atreviran finalment a aprovar aquesta mesura, quan aquests certàmens aporten una injecció notable de diners i importància a la ciutat, i amb la gran quantitat d'empreses i interessos econòmics que hi ha darrera?</p>

<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">DIO NON ESISTE, LA MERCE SI</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">In questi giorni di masturbazione collettiva, cioè di natale, i devoti del dio Merce hanno affollato centri commerciali, supermercati e outlet nel tentativo di accoppiarsi con la Merce, Merce di ogni tipo e di ogni prezzo.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">L'agognato amplesso mercenario ha stravolto i volti di giovani e anziani, uomini e donne. E per tutti l'orgasmo era assicurato: soldi che escono dal portafoglio, carte di credito che si svuotano. Il Dio Merce ha fatto fuori tutte le altre divinità: Cristo, Buddha e Allah.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">Finalmente l'umanità è unita nella mercificazione di tutto. Tutti hanno un portafoglio, una carta di credito. Tutti hanno un prezzo e quelli che non ce l'hanno vengono spediti nei campi di concentramento. Quando dico che faccio una cosa gratis mi guardano come se avessi l'aids o come se non avessi il conto in banca.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">La merce domina i pensieri della gente e comprando si diventa merce.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">Si compra di tutto, ma soprattutto si compra sempre e soltanto la propria solitudine. Più si compra e più ci si sente soli come un verme.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font color="#000000">Per incontrare Dio, ovvero Se stessi, basta smettere di comprare. All'inizio ci sarà una crisi di astinenza: alla fine la gioia.</font></p>

<p>Gli autotrasportatori scioperano, il governo assiste e gli altri se la prendono in quel posto...</p>
<p>La televisione stranamente non parla di mancanza di merce o cibi nei magazzini... per non allarmare tutti con la conseguenza di far fare una spesa natalizia anticipata!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ahir a les 19:00h hi va haver l'entrega de premis del concurs de fotografia de les festes de la Mercè (Bcn) que es van celebrar a finals de septembre.  Els premis que es dónen van des dels 2.500 € fins a accèssits de 150 €, en total uns 16 premis en metàl·lic (8.000€ en premis).</p>
<p>And the winner is..... nuse, però jo, no! :(((</p>
<p>Això si, estic dins d'un grup de seleccionats per utilitzar una de les meves fotos per fer una exposició l'any que vé i per formar part d'un llibre resum de les festes d'aquest any.</p>
<p>Està chulu, no?? La veritat és que amb la quantitat de gent que s'hi presenta, es força difícil fer algo en concursos com aquests.. :)))</p>
<p>Clickant veureu les fotos enviades, ja em direu quina us agrada més i quina menys ;)</p>

Από την Παρασκευή έως την Δευτέρα υπήρχαν πάρα πολλές εκδηλώσεις σε όλη την πόλη και όλες τις ώρες με αποκορύφωμα το βράδυ της Δευτέρας και το καταπληκτικό θέαμα με τα πυροτεχνήματα.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left">Hacía algún tiempo que no iba a verlo, pero este año animados por Erdani, nos decidimos a volver.<br />
El Piromusical de les Festes de la Mercè es el colofón de las fiestas de nuestra ciudad y con este acto se dan por terminadas. Interactúan los fuegos artificiales, las <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bcn.es/turisme/catala/turisme/llocs/01.htm">fuentes de Montjuïc</a> y la música, creando un espectáculo digno de ser visto. La música de este año estaba dedicada al Rock, cosa que hizo que disfrutara más del espectáculo.</p>
<p align="left">El Rock català estuvo bastante bien representado y a pesar de que la música estaba muy bien elegida, se echaron a faltar grupos de rock nacional que creo, se merecían un hueco. Los grupos angloparlantes sonaron durante casi todo el espectáculo.</p>
<p align="left">Cómo cada año había mucha gente pero a pesar de ello conseguimos un buen sitio. Justo en el centro de la calzada, entre las dos torres de la Plaza España.</p>
<p>Las fotos...</p>

<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Anna (la Callau) nació en Barcelona, a la media noche del 22 de enero de 1972. Fue el elemento inesperado de la familia, el juguete de la casa, y creció rebelde, malcriada por sus padres, por sus hermanos mayores y hasta por sus vecinos. </font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Su primer viaje fue a Marruecos, en tren y autobuses. Se fue con una amiga del barrio, ignorando las advertencias de su familia y abandonando a su novio, que repetía historias acerca de los peligros de la trata de blancas. </font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">A la vuelta tuvo que elegir una carrera universitaria sin saber aún qué quería ser de mayor. Por eso empezó a estudiar Empresariales, que en ese momento era lo que ofrecía más puestos de trabajo. O sea, Burrocracia Empresarial, nada más opuesto a su carácter. Fue un vía crucis.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman">Cuando comenzó a trabajar se dio cuenta que había estudiado una carrera que odiaba. Y que prefería salir de fiesta. Lo dejó todo y empezó de nuevo en Doctor Music, una promotora de conciertos donde encajaba mejor. Fue allí donde su camino se cruzó con el de Pablo y, después de un tiempo como amigos con derechos, él le hizo una proposición indecente: ¿quieres abandonar tu libertad y venir a dar la vuelta al mundo conmigo?</font></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I cannot believe that September is over. The time seems to be flying past as quickly as some of the aircraft we saw this weekend. It seems like yesterday when Norbert and Carole arrived and they left over a week ago. Once again I had trouble adjusting to the quiet after being busy. It always takes a day or two to readjust.</p>
<p>This Saturday, Alex and I took the metro up to Parc del Laberint. It's way up in the mountain, just beyond the range of the city maps. Needless to say, it is off the tourist path. We took the metro L3 up to Mundet and walked up from there. It's quite different from the Barcelona we know in Eixample, much more modern. By the way, we didn't realize that it cost us 2 Euros each to get in (it's free on Sundays) but we didn't mind since the fee is used to help maintain the park.</p>
<p>The theme of the park is that of the neoclassical garden of the XVIII century. Very romantic with lots of statues and fountains and most importantly, secluded benches. There is a house which belonged to the Marqués de Llupià y de Alfarràs but it is in great need of repair and is closed off to the public. In a garden house nearby, there is a defence tower, known as the Torre Subirana, which dates back to mediaeval times.<br />
<img src="http://static.flickr.com/114/259667152_6b923a9e12.jpg" /></p>
<p>There were very gnarled, twisty trees lined along one of the pathways. Quite interesting shapes but I didn't capture the feeling in the photo.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/118/259666959_21bd0c202b.jpg" /></p>
<p>We hurried thought the park because we arrived there later than we had planned and Alex had things to do at home. To be honest, it was not an inspiring day but you can't expect every day to be.</p>
<p>On Sunday, we headed down towards Forum. We caught the number 6 bus and took it to the end of the line. It's another area of the city that we had never been to and the area used to be industrial. It's in the process of change and a very interesting place to be with a camera. We couldn't explore because we were going to see an air show. It started at 9:00 and we got off the bus at around 9:20. I could here jets, not the muffled jets that propel commercial aircraft but the growl of high performance fighter aircraft. I can usually recognize a Harley Davidson by it's sound and jet engines are the same. We hurried to the beach and when we got to the boardwalk an F16 was streaking by the beach with full afterburner. OK, I got goosebumps and Alex laughed at me.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/93/259666904_01c0b2f10f.jpg" /></p>
<p>The beach was actually empty because we were so early. It was a gorgeous day too and people were in the water.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/81/259666880_bb3c23a300.jpg" /></p>
<p>I was soooooo sorry I didn't have a longer lens because I just couldn't capture the majesty of these aircraft. A french Mirage shot by as we walked towards Mar Bella.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/107/259667015_4709b9b19f.jpg" /></p>
<p>They weren't flying high but were out over the water where a large naval rescue boat was cruising in case it was needed. The ship was fairly far out making the Mediteranean look so inviting.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/109/259667109_c3ec571ca1.jpg" /></p>
<p>When we got to Mar Bella, two Harrier's flew by, boy are they ever loud in flight mode ......</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/117/259667001_e2d1ba22da.jpg" /></p>
<p>It was a slow fly by so maybe they needed power to stay in the air. One hovered in front of the Forum and scanned the horizon like a hunter seeking prey. It actually looked ominous as it hovered there.........</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/92/259666982_af08966040.jpg" /></p>
<p>The beach was starting to fill up as more people arrived to take in the show so we went down to the water's edge to watch from there.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/117/259666826_fa13f2e44e.jpg" /></p>
<p>The aricraft stopped for a while and some parachutists put on a display. One carried a huge catalin flag on his way down, truly impressive and the control these people have is amazing.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/83/259667077_4c09634af5.jpg" /></p>
<p>They all landed in a little marked off area of the beach. Some seemed to hover way up while waiting for the others to land. While he was coming down he freaked out the crowd by diving towards the beach. We thought hi chute had failed but it was a controlled, RAPID descent.</p>
<p>A group of prop aerobatic aircraft did some loops and stuff .........</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/113/259666917_8cc07d25b9.jpg" /></p>
<p>For piston engined aircraft, they were pretty impressive. Those engines must be pretty powerful to pull the aircaft straight up like that.</p>
<p>We were waiting for the grand finale. Vueling was supposed to do a fly by with an Airbus 320. They were going to fly past the beach at 200 metres and I really wanted to get some photos. They never showed so I guess they needed the aircraft for something else. Oh well, I probably would have been disappointed with the pictures because I didn't have the proper lens for the show. We left there at around 12:30 and started walking towards the city.</p>
<p>We wanted to go to Barceloneta and meet up with Patxi. It was the last day of a week long fiesta and we were going to have lunch there. It didn't happen and we ended up at <a href="http://www.wushu-restaurant.com/" title="WuShu's Web site" target="_blank">Wushu's</a> for lunch. It was packed, we were tired and hot and the cava tasted GREAT. While waiting for a table, Jackie and her family showed up. We met her parents and her aunt and chatted with them for a bit. Wushu was too busy so they went on to Cardemons. We had a great lunch (as usual) and chatted with the owners Bradley and Paula for a bit before going home. It was quite a full day.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Norbert and Carole visited this week and we were really happy to see them. We spent the week wandering around the city and I had my first experience with pickpockets (see the previous post). We also discovered another little alcove in Bari Gotic. It was so relaxing and peaceful, almost zen like.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/81/252388917_b4a9ee68bf.jpg" /></p>
<p>The sound of trickling water combined with the soft reflected light really made this alcove a place for reflection. What really added to the ambience was the sound of classical music filtering in from outside. There was a violinist and a cellist playing just outside the building.<br />
<img src="http://static.flickr.com/99/252388848_0dddc7720e.jpg" /></p>
<p>I hope they enjoyed their week here as much as we enjoyed having them visit.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/88/252388990_e82075c534_m.jpg" /></p>
<p>Well this weekend really was another kicker. Mercè started on Friday and it was a very wet day. It rained on and off for most of the day and a lot of events were either cancelled or postponed. It must be extremely disappointing for those who have dedicated so many hours of their time to organize, construct or practice for this major Barcelona event.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/115/252389094_076a2919ee.jpg" /></p>
<p>We had planned to attend a number of events on Friday but decided it was too wet. Besides, we had a party to go to that night. Tio Seb was having a surprise birthday party for Jackie at a club called Senses. We had a great time there and Jackie was completely caught off guard. They have a lot of friends and it seems like they all showed up. It goes to show how really great people those two are. We left the party around 2:00 and I heard it went on until about 7:00 the next day. Needless to say, all our plans for taking in the Mercè on Saturday were shelved. Saturday was a quiet day, a day to recharge my batteries.</p>
<p>Sunday we were up early and headed to Plaça de Sant Jaume to meet Francisca at 10:30. The square was packed.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/97/252388791_2a805b2e76.jpg" /></p>
<p>The giants were performing when we arrived and because they were giants we could see them, at least the upper half of them. They are quite amazing and always come in pairs, man and woman. Some sport real hair and are very lifelike.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/117/252389053_193244580e.jpg" /></p>
<p>After the giants paraded around the square, Francisca discovered that the public was allowed in the Palau de la Generalitat. What a treat. The inside of this building is gorgeous and the few photos I took do not do it justice.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/109/252389255_5760a76560.jpg" /></p>
<p>The marble floor is made of individual tiles of differnt coloured marble. You had to look very closely to see where they actually joined. From a distance they looked painted. The craftmanship put into this building was beyond words. On one wall, which is a modern addition and is actually a piece of art, is an inverted figure. The figure is a hollow in the wall. If you look at the bottom of the figure you can see what I mean.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/120/252389331_2cc994e75a.jpg" /></p>
<p>From there we walked over to Ravel to eat. Alex and I had eaten in an Indian restaurant called Shalimar across from Jackie and Sebastian's place and we really enjoyed it. Alex decided to call them so they came down and ate with us. Sebastian told me that he too had a quiet day yesterday (I wonder why). We visited with them for a while and then headed home. It was a full day.</p>
<p>Monday we wanted to go hiking but the trail we wanted to take was probably too muddy to be any fun. We were going to take the GR6 trail over to Sant Cugat. The beginning of the trail is very steep so we decided to do it some other time. Instead, we grabbed both of our cameras and headed to Bari Gotic (old Barcelona). We just walked around taking photos of anything that appealed to us. Here are some examples.........</p>
<p>I saw this one when I was watching my feet.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/120/252531813_0232bd5bee.jpg" /></p>
<p>This poster and reflection made me do a double take when I caught it out of the corner of my eye.</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/80/252531882_6c59cb3d46.jpg" /></p>
<p>And then we needed an animal shot to round out the day, he was probably wondering what the heck we were doing......</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/109/252531718_eb88d16947.jpg" /></p>
<p>We headed in the general direction of home and found Psseig de Gracia was closed to traffic and filled with kiosks. We browsed our way up the street and came across these wild hair dressers...........</p>
<p>The red dresser</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/100/252389400_9c4a553c0c.jpg" /></p>
<p>and the  gold dresser</p>
<p><img src="http://static.flickr.com/109/252389463_593917eedb.jpg" /></p>
<p>So the long weekend comes to an end. It seems like we always chance upon the most interesting things because of wandering randomly around.</p>
<p>Hope you all have a great week.</p>
