Egypt Calling...!

First time in Egypt, there from the 30th Nov-8th December. Alexandria for two days and then Cairo for 6, the pyramids, the mummies, the nile, the sheesha...and more, cant wait!

Going to speak at a conference on Youth Education and the role of business representing Microsoft at a major conference for the first time, excited & a few butterflies, hopefully all should be smooth!

Finished a year in Turkey yesterday which ofcourse requires a separate post, but as a side note, I was cooked a surprise dinner by a bunch of sweet portuguese girls - Orgasmus ! Natercia reminded me of you here!

Graduation Ceremony

Yesterday took place my graduation ceremony and today I'm officially a computer engineer.

I wanted to pay a little tribute in this day to all of you, istanbul trainees and orgasmus, recreating the famous Cristiano´s photo pose, with my brother, just after the ceremony and in full costume. So here it is.

You know you're an Istanbul trainee when...

I recently posted on my blog "You know you're in Costa Rica when..) and thought it would be cool to do the same for this blog so here it is my 5 cents to start the list....

You know you're an Istanbul trainee when....

You are so broke that you do the following to save a lira:

1. cook for 2 hours every night
2. walk considerable distances and fucking hills instead of hopping in a taxi or bus
3. consider playing guitar on Istiklal to collect donations
4. consume as much Efes and Freddy as possible before heading out on the town and only agreeing to go to clubs that don't charge cover
5. pretend to be an Istanbul trainee so that you can sleep in the dorms

End of the world

Quite hilarious, check it out

About Girls' Night...

I think those nights are very funny...

Girls decide to go out all together and don't accept that any male friend goes out with them...or at least that is what they say! Well, then you have several types of "girls' nights"...

1st type(and the most acceptable): it happens when there are many girls in a place or when they are not often together... they don't have time to really know each other so they decide to go out and have a nice conversation around a beer or some beers in order to know each others better.... They just want to have time together... Now the reader might be thinking: <> NO! Absolutly not! Cause when boys are around we can't really speak the same way we would speak with 20 guys around and there would be many groups...so it would be impossible to really meet each other...

2nd type: there are not that many nor as devided as in the first type... They actually know each others well... They don't NEED time for each other but they just want to do something "different" and if it can call the attention of male friends...well it is even better. Actually some girls even do this on purpose to call the attention of some guys... and deep in their heart they hope the guys will try to find in which bar they are... and so on and so on.... The funniest thing is that guys don't usually do that! They don't care at all... thay have a beer all together or just stay at home watching a nice movie!

In his type you can often find one or two "breakers"..those girls are usually a little bit less stupid and don't go to those parties cause they know they wouln't have fun and would have to speaking about nothing but GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

3rd type: this one is really...HOT, let's say! And it is really better for the guys not to go...they would dicover their female friends as they would never imagine! No! it doesn't include any homosexual things!!!! Girls go out together and they dress really sexy... they go to a nice bar first and then they go to a disco...full of people and with crazy music so that they can show their hability do dance! The objectives of those paries are not at all to know the other girls... NOT AT ALL...cause they already know each others pretty well...they just go out to meet new guys... and you might imagine the end of the night!

Obviously...there is ONE similarity in all those type: girls ALWAYS apeak about guys...in some types more in others less...but guys are always in the summary of the meeting!!!

That is not new: everybody knows it!!!! And those who don't admit it are just too young or little liers!!!!! hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Finally, as Aakash said we had one it was nice...Here is a photo...

Take care!

Chagall

Chagall is the name of a 20th century russian painter and also the title of the short film that is keeping me very busy lately. Wednesday we will finish shooting and then start post-production.

The film is basically about Martin, a fashion photographer that is going blind and falls in love with Lucia, a girl who is also interested in photography and is a very good cook. There is an intense relationship between them with a lot of photography, food, sex, and some betrayal and reconciliation involved.

Yesterday we worked for more than 12 hours and I took some pictures at the beginning of the day in one of the sets. Here are some pictures of the opening scene where Martin, the protagonist, is working in a photo session.

The director of photography doing some tests with the actors.

It almost looks like I'm posing to show my turkish t-shirt but it's all a coincidence. I talked about my time in Turkey a lot that day too, but that's not a coincidence since I do that almost everyday.
