Asklipieio village

Asklipieio   is a  small  village  located in the south  part of Rodos local church web and  the  castle  .

 the  catle  you  can  find it on  top  of the  hill. it was  made the 15 century  from the  knights that  leaved  in  the island!

it has very  few locals and  holds a great beauty from its  church which is  one of the oldest  in  Rodos

Beau Taplin 2

"Since you, I’ve found I no longer dwell on the past or feel any resentment toward it at all...." 

"Kiss me until I forget how terrified I am of everything wrong with my life."

"A funny thing happens when you miss someone badly enough. I can be in a room full of friendly faces, surrounded by laughter and celebration, but to me, it’s all just light and noise. I’ll smile and make small talk, but it’s all a performance. The truth is, I’m someplace else with you."

"I know we needed some time apart, a little space to reevaluate what we’re looking for, and should we ever find our way back to each other I know we’ll be better for it.
Still, I miss you. And most of the time I think it would be better to be fools together, than sensible without you."

"I love senselessly or not at all. I cannot give myself away to those who do not consume me, no matter how kind, committed or honest they are, but capture the full attention of my heart, and however toxic you are for me, I would conquer the world in your name if you asked."

tropicarium

 spending 3 days in  Budapest its enough when  you are on  holidays you  want to spend full  time  doing something so  we decided to go  to the aquarium on  on  bus away  from the center

 i  must  say that i was amazed from the  tropical  rain   forest that the made and  went on  every half an  hour

 an  other  breathtaking moment  was the  glass  top of the aquarium  that you  could  experience sharks swimming over  your  head

 i must mention  also  that there were more  than  fish species  there..the   monkeys   were  fantastic

i will  close the  Budapest posting with  the  square of the heroes which  is  a must  while visiting  the  city

budapest day 3

 After 2 km  of walking in  a  very  beautiful  scenery you ll  find citadel is  were the old  city  was located..i truly believe you ll find the best  view of the city over there

 the parliament building is  very  beautiful and its found easily  in the  center of the city opposite  buda  on  the river coast

 after  the parliament  we  decided to  take a  walk to margarite  island where  we  had a  nice sunday walk  without cars and nice attractions on  the  way

budapest day 2

 we  had   such a  lovely   day   and we decided to  go  on  foot  to  Dunave river and  visit the castle district ..on our  way  we stoped for our first  treats of course i am  talking about the kortoskalacs

The  Fisherman's bastion is a terracesituated on the Budabank of the Danube on the castle  hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church.
From the towers and the terrace a panoramic view exists of Danube, Margaret Island, Pest to the east and the Gellért Hill.
Its seven towers represent the seven Magyar tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin in 896.
The Bastion takes its name from the guild of fishermen that was responsible for defending this stretch of the city walls in the Middle Ages. It is a viewing terrace, with many stairs and walking paths.
A bronze statue of Stephen I of Hungary mounted on a horse, erected in 1906, can be seen between the Bastion and the Matthias Church. (from wiki)

 to  cross over  we used the oldest bridge know as chain bridge( must mention that  it  was the coolest  one also )

 the view  from  high  high  up

budapest day 1

 budapest the capital of Hungary .a  huge city with a  great architecture and a   very romantic vibe!!

 we arrived with a transfer taxi  very easily and very cheap .the place  we stayed was  in the center of Pest an apartment in  gozsdu courtyard which is full of bars .clubs and restaurants.

 at  the mornings there  was a bazaar with  small  goods ..always  full  of  people 

 the  first  day   was a transition  to the mood of the  city and  the cold  weather

the only  bad fact  i ll  mention is the homeless people  .Such  a  beautiful city is a  pity  that  they  leave humans out in the  cold

René Magritte

Son of man 1964

 Rene was a Belgium  surrealist artist. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images that fall under the umbrella of surrealism.

René Magritte. The Lovers

 His work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality.He  happens  to be my  favorite painter and i am happy to say that i  have visited in  Brussels his museum

Ceci n'est pas"

 Magritte's work frequently displays a collection of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things. The use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting.Magritte used the same approach in a painting of an apple: he painted the fruit and then used an internal caption or framing device to deny that the item was an apple. In these "Ceci n'est pas" works, Magritte points out that no matter how naturalistically we depict an object, we never do catch the item itself.

The therapeutist - Rene Magritte

Magritte's works are conceived of as riddles. In them, he explores the mysteries lurking in the unexpected juxtaposition of everyday things, involving the viewer in a self-induced disorientation. His paintings exclude symbols and myths; everything is visible. Magritte worked from several sources, which he repeated with variations: anatomical surprises, such as the hand whose wrist is a woman's face; the mysterious opening, where a door swings open onto an unexpected vista; metamorphic creatures, such as a stone bird flying above a rocky shoreline. He animates the inanimate, as a shoe with toes; he enlarges details, as an immense apple filling a room. he makes an association of complementaries, as the leaf-bird, or the mountain-eagle. His titles accompany the paintings in the way that names correspond to objects, without either illustrating or explaining them.

There is always a kind of logic to Magritte's images but when asked about analysis of the content of his paintings, Magritte replied, "If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but of thinking of the question that is raised." The interpretation of the image was a denial of its mystery, the mystery of the invisible. His images are to be looked at, not into.

It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be

by Paul Arden  My friend rec commented  me this book to read.its really sweet, easy read, and provides a great positive reinforcement to you, and assures you that you will get your desired success.
I recommend this book to anyone from fresh grads to seasoned executives.

traveling a priority for few.

I made traveling  a priority. i wanted to and i just did.If travel is not a priority for you, you will always find some other things to spend money on and you’ll never have “enough” money to travel.
I never have enough money to go shopping or buy a new electronic gadget because I spend my money on travel, so there isn’t much left over for non-priority expenses. Everything I do is focused on having more money for travel (and other things I love like sushi, movies, and nice dinners)! so stop thinking and  just commit to travel.

Malmo

 Malmo  is the  third biggest city in the  country of Sweden  ..it happens to  be my mother's home town. Since the construction of the Øresund Bridge, Malmö has undergone a major transformation with architectural developments, and it has attracted new biotech and IT companies, and particularly students through Malmö University, founded in 1998. The city contains many historic buildings and parks, and is also a commercial centre for the western part of Scania.

 the city is great  for shopping and has a  huge list of museums so if  you are in north  europe its so  easy  to travel and have a nice day tour.
