CREATIVE CITIES: ISTANBUL

Travel

February 26, 2020

The most creative museum or gallery

Established in 2005, Pera Museum (Meşrutiyet Avenue No. 65) is probably not the first museum that comes to the contemporary Istanbuler’s mind when asked about the most creative museum. However, I cannot help but feel that Pera was the one that started the specific museum experience that is a must nowadays: a broad range of representation from all over the world, different genres of art, and of course technology. It offers international film-screenings along with the conventional art exhibits, as well as the stories of some of Turkey’s most important art pieces in VR (not that different from what the Louvre is currently doing with Mona Lisa). I can assure any and all that a couple of hours in Pera Museum will be a wonderful experience.

The café where you go to read, write or be inspired

In Bahçeşehir, where I spent the first 17 years of my life, The North Shield (1. Kısım, Gölet Mevkii) was always the place where the “grown-ups” went for a late breakfast or an evening beer, and I, being rather young, could not muster the courage to walk in there. After being abroad for a couple years, I was now legally allowed to go in and have that evening beer. These kind of stories usually end in a tone of disappointment when the protagonist finds out that the breakfast tasted bad or the beer was warm. That did not happen for me. Whenever I can make time to go to my former neighbourhood, I always stop by The North Shield to either read a book accompanied by an ice-cold pint, write down the thoughts and feelings my childhood nostalgia causes that specific day, or sometimes even run into old friends I have not seen in years, which in itself inspires me.

A restaurant with a difference

I am aware that the name Aida Vino E Cucina (Ressam Seref Akdik Sokak No. 10) does not scream Turkish at all, yet the inside of this restaurant is a perfect combination of the Italian cuisine and Turkish daily living. Built in a renovated, narrow and pink house in Kadıköy, Aida’s interior is filled with rugs, artefacts and rather minimalistic tables and chairs. However, the food portions are the complete opposite. What makes this restaurant different for me is the contrast between the homey feeling it conveys and the authentic Italian tastes it somehow brought right into the middle of Istanbul.

The most creative neighbourhood

Do not let my fellow European-side residents know that I personally feel the most inspired in Kadıköy’s Moda, a neighbourhood situated on the Asian side of Istanbul. Yet one cannot help but feel moved by the constant background music from various cafes, shops and people. I believe the removal of the never ending noise of Istanbul’s traffic jams, since Moda is a mainly pedestrian neighbourhood, allows creativity to flow better. Time disappears when you are in Moda as the neighbourhood offers countless activities as well as some peace of mind, with it being close to the Marmara’s shore.

The store you can’t walk past without going in

Located in the middle of Nişantaşı, one of the most visited neighbourhoods of Istanbul, Nisantaschi (Av. Süreyya Ağaoğlu Sk. No. 5) is a place where you can find anything – and I mean anything – you are looking for; even objects you did not know you wanted or needed. From a simple printed t-shirt to the most flamboyant coffee mug, or even an old typewriter, Nisantaschi definitely pulls you in with its dark exterior yet warm and colourful interior.

The Age of Reason: How Coronavirus Could Save Planet Earth

The Age of Reason: How Coronavirus Could Save Planet Earth

“Every day, every hour, Chinese people who may or may not be infected with coronavirus COVID-19 are travelling across the world, visiting cities, flying through airports. In turn, those they infect go to their communities and travel, spreading the virus exponentially. This has been happening since the start of the Wuhan outbreak in late December. This is why initial outbreaks are starting to appear in many major cities across Europe right now, and other parts of the world.

“Coronavirus, if it does its job properly could be the saviour of planet earth, and in turn save humanity in the long run if the population is reduced by 90% and kept at a sustainable level.

“It may take some time, and the virus may mutate, disappear for a short period before reappearing again. There may be many waves of the virus over decades until an acceptable human population level is met.

“The EU must keep the Schengen free travel zone open, global air traffic must continue, and the shopping malls and mass congregation of people must be allowed to continue.

“We must leave room for nature, let nature flourish once again, let it breathe again, we must allow what needs to be done to be done, to cleanse the environment and purge the seas of the plastic.

“Humanity must be maintained at levels below 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature, and the future world governing body must guide reproduction wisely once the cycle is completed.

“The old religions must be replaced with tempered reason and science, and we must unite humanity with a living new language.

“The new system that will eventually emerge must protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts, avoiding petty laws and useless officials. All nations must work to resolve external disputes in a world court. We must balance personal rights with social duties, and be responsible for the future generations that will come after us.

“Above all we must prize beauty, knowledge and love, seeking harmony with the infinite.”

Servant: “Meghan Told Harry If He Ain’t Royal No Mo’ She Ain’t Gotta Use For Him!”

Servant: “Meghan Told Harry If He Ain’t Royal No Mo’ She Ain’t Gotta Use For Him!”

It is not easy being one of the servants at the beck and call of Meghan Markle and the former prince, Harry.

The former servant who spoke to an American tabloid on the condition of anonymity revealed some startling secrets and overheard conversations.

“I was employed by the Russian oligarch who owns the mansion that Harry and Meghan stays for free. He likes it because he bugs and films them and sends the info direct to the FSB in Moscow.

“I first met Meghan when she threw a cup of coffee over my head because it was too hot. She then ordered one of the protection guys to go to Starbucks and get one of those overpriced coffees.

“I feel for the boy, Harry agrees with everything she says, and if he falters Meghan has a tantrum, throwing stuff at him and cussing like a sailor. I was there when the news came through that they would be banned by the Queen of England from using the ‘Sussex Royal’ thing, and were banned from being royal. We lost a lot of plates and furniture in the house on that day, and many of us had to evacuate the building because it was unsafe to be around Meghan.

“She told him in no uncertain terms that if he ain’t royal no more, she got no use for the boy. Poor Harry, he was lost, he went to his room and took the crying lil Archie with him. Meghan then said she stick the crown up the Queen’s you know what, and she never wants to go back to England ever again!

“After that, I gave my notice in, it was like working for a slave driver crackin’ the whip every few minutes. If she didn’t get what she wanted fast woe betide yo’ ass, she would get violent on that poor person. I found me a good family now, they don’t shout and order me around like a dog.”

Harvey Weinstein – Meet Bubba Your Cell Mate

Karma is an actress who gave head and even swallowed for a leading role, but never got the part in the end, that is until the #metoo court appearance when her acting skills really came into use.

“You just should have given them a role Harvey, maybe even a bit part, but you didn’t, and now look at ya, you’re going down, and this time you’re gonna be the bitch,” a former Miramax worker revealed shaking his head in disbelief.

Mr. Weinstein is now going to go to Rikers Island where he will be put in a cell for a decade or so and become Bubba’s play toy.

One minute he was supping at the Four Seasons, next he was cuffed and thrown in a holding cell whilst vindictive #metoo feminists heckled and jeered at him, how’s that for a come down?

Rikers Island has a reputation for brutal violence, both abuse, rape and neglect of inmates, attracting increased media and judicial scrutiny that has resulted in numerous rulings against the New York City government, and numerous assaults by inmates on uniformed and civilian staff.

In May 2013, Rikers Island ranked as one of the ten worst correctional facilities in the United States. Violence on Rikers Island has been increasing in recent years. In 2015 there were 9,424 assaults, the highest number in five years.

“We call Rikers the Dozer, because people who come here, they get flattened, they get put through the mincemeat machine and spat out all dead and shit. Unless you are seriously connected, high-end mafia consigliere or a gang boss, you are free meat. We like fresh meat here, even though Harvey is a fat old bastard, he is gonna have to get down on his knees and do the job that needs to be done, hmmm, hmmm,” Bubba Jones, a felon who is doing sixty years in Rikers Island prison revealed.

“I’m, next…”

Which Dating Apps Help You Get Infected With Coronavirus Quicker?

Your daughter loves using the dating apps, that’s because she doesn’t know if the guy she meets is a psychopathic killer, has numerous STIs, or will give her a terminal case of coronavirus.

That’s why dating apps like Tinder for straight people and Grindr for gays are in such popular demand right now — it’s the sheer excitement of not knowing whether you are going to live or die by meeting that special person off the internet.

“I have herpes, and super gonorrhoea, and the girls who I date all get infected by my luggage when I sleep with them. Now we have the coronavirus going around so I can’t wait to spread that too, even though I might not realise I am infected and not show any symptoms yet,” one happy Tinder male revealed.

It’s the same for gays, many now are happy to be infected with HIV, because it gets them over the first hurdle.

“I am happily HIV positive, I also have gonorrhoea, syphilis and Hepatitis B. I have sex with over 10 men a night on Grindr, and when I get coronavirus, I will be out on the town spreading it around like butter, even though I might not be aware I have it, due to its gestation period,” a happy Grindr user revealed.

As coronavirus spreads throughout Europe, many are continuing to unknowingly spread the virus far and wide with their promiscuous use of these dating apps, coupled with open borders in the EU Schengen zone, air traffic being still at a high level, and no precautions, the COVID-19 virus will start erupting across the European continent like a puss filled genital wart about to explode soon.

Queen Elizabeth II Eagerly Awaits Meghan Markle’s Upcoming Visit to Britain

Queen Elizabeth II Eagerly Awaits Meghan Markle’s Upcoming Visit to Britain

Notched up for a visit to Britain from Canada, Meghan Markle is being eagerly awaited by the Windsor royal family. Meghan thinks she will be doing her own private engagements, however her fate has already been sealed.

The former Duchess of Sussex’s itinerary has already been finalised personally by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.

Palace aide, Matthew Archibald, has revealed some of the intricate planning for the insufferable duchess’s trip.

“Once the former duchess lands, she will be escorted by a troupe of Beefeaters to the Tower of London from the airport. Meghan Markle will then be held in chains in the Tower for an indefinite period before being paraded in front of the London crowds then beheaded publicly on Tower Hill. Tourists and citizens will be given the opportunity to buy tickets for the event (premium tickets: £34.99), which will also be personally attended by select members of the royal family. The family friendly event will end with a spectacular fireworks display after the beheading.

“Prince Harry will be at the Invictus games with Bon Jovi having a chilled time, so he will not notice what has happened, and will probably be relieved about it when news finally filters through of her demise.

“Afterwards, there will be celebrations in the streets, and the head will be displayed on a pike at Traitor’s Gate until it goes green.”

People on the streets of London cheered at the announcement today, one man who had just trod in a dog shit was especially excited on hearing of the news.

“I just trod in a Meghan, that’s what we call dog shit these days. That is how much she is loved here, especially after what she’s done, and treated us like! Can’t wait to see her head rolling into the basket. That’ll take that awful smirk off her face, once and for all. You don’t treat our Queen like that and get away with it.”

Many Britons will travel far and wide for the wonderful event, some even coming from as far as John O’Groats.

Analysis: What Went Wrong For Ireland at Twickenham?

Analysis: What Went Wrong For Ireland at Twickenham?

Ireland went to Twickenham on Sunday afternoon seeking their first Triple Crown in two years after opening their Six Nations campaign with gripping wins against Scotland and Wales.

However, England had other ideas and ended their hopes of retaining the title awarded for beating all the home nations and crushing their hopes of doing the Grand Slam. Meanwhile, Eddie Jones’ side’s victory also meant that Ireland are now massive outsiders in the rugby betting odds.

But what went wrong on a weekend to forget for Ireland? It started with mistakes at the back as a schoolboy error from Ireland captain Johnny Sexton, who failed to intercept Ben Youngs’ grubber kick in yards of space, allowed George Ford in to score, whilst winger Jacob Stockdale also unsuccessfully dealt with a kick letting Elliott Daly score England’s second try.

Things got worse for the Ireland skipper as he brutally scuffed a penalty from 30 metres out meaning Andy Farrell’s side were out of the running at half-time as they already trailed the hosts 17-0. Owen Farrell had added a penalty, which was given due to Sexton slowing down play, to the two converted tries, giving England their biggest half-time lead over Ireland in 18 years.

The scoreboard was a fair reflection on how poorly Farrell’s men performed in the first half. However, they hit back in the second period with Robbie Henshaw smashing his way over the line, although the Ireland fly-half missed from the tee, again.

After getting themselves back into the game, Ireland should have been applying the pressure onto England, instead it was Jones’ side who were back in control. As they began to dominate once more, the penalties started to add up and Luke Cowan-Dickie easily peeled away from a maul and pushed his way over with Farrell adding the conversion to make it 24-5.

Andrew Porter scored for Ireland after the 80-minute mark with Ulster’s John Cooney converting this time to make it 24-12, a ‘flattering’ scoreline for Ireland according to their head coach, who admitted that he needs to ‘look at himself.’

“I think the scoreline flattered us a little bit. We didn’t start to play how we wanted to until the game was over. England were excellent, every side will look at themselves physically and they certainly won that battle. We didn’t fire a shot in that first half,” Farrell said.

“England were fighting to stay in the championship and that’s what we need to be in the next two games – I need to look at myself regarding the performance of the first half.”

Whilst Farrell is piling the blame onto himself, Sexton and scrum-half Conor Murray should also be partly blamed. Their performances were way off the standard they usually set and their kicking was dreadful – including the fly-half’s misses that kept Ireland out of the game and took the pressure off England.

Ireland’s defence also wasn’t good enough, Manu Tuilagi broke through the Ireland line early on and could have scored before a last ditch Andrew Conway tackle, whilst Jonathan Joseph also notably wriggled past several men in green following a poor clearance by Murray.

It was just a terrible performance from Ireland on the whole, they were let back into the game in the second half by England taking their foot off the gas as they were able to easily soak up the Irish pressure. Should Farrell’s side somehow beat in-form France in Paris next week, the competition will be blown wide open.

Defiant Meghan Markle Vs Windsor Royal Family

Defiant Meghan Markle Vs Windsor Royal Family

Meghan Markle detests the Windsor Royal family and Britain with a vehemence, and is now embroiled in a dirty war to prove she is bigger than all who stand in her way.

Harry and Meghan lied about wanting to step back from public life, this was the main reason stipulated for leaving the royal family and UK. If they wanted a quiet life, why are they conducting massive PR moves in North America, launching vast website campaigns, trademarking the ‘Sussex Royal’ name, getting paid vast sums of money by bankers for speeches and courting the paparazzi at every juncture?

Global domination is something at the heart of Meghan’s modus operandi.

Psychologist, Miriam Humbole, has analysed this dangerous woman and her vitriolic vendetta against a 1,000-year institution.

“Essentially, Meghan Markle fuels her schizoid narcissistic ego every time she sees a headline about her vendetta against the British monarchy, simply because it makes her sound more important, especially when it is perceived that she is running rings around the Windsor family. Meghan left Britain for North America in a huff because she was not the centre of attention all the time, and her exile was more about power play than anything else.

“Meghan’s sole focus right now is to make as much money as she can, and she will do this in the ruse of ‘charity funding’. The key factor is to ‘virtue signal’ for charity, rake in cash, give about 2% to the actual cause, and keep the rest. This pump and dump strategy along with the paid speeches, as well as paid Oprah-like appearances will bring in millions, in order for Meghan Markle to maintain her lavish lifestyle.

“The former Duchess of Sussex was never royal, but she knows she will have to use her son Archie to peddle for more money, and Harry who has royal blood. Markle does not in any way feel love for the former prince, and is only using him as a cash cow, which she will eventually discard for someone that actually turns her on. Conniving Meghan has a very good reason for leaving the UK, and extricating prince Harry — for a start, North American divorce laws will give her a majority stake in the upcoming divorce. Furthermore, the poor naive prince has been taken out of his comfort zone, he now has no advisors who really look out for him, and he has been taken away from the people who genuinely liked and cared for him. Psychologically, this will leave him even more vulnerable, and this is what Meghan is counting on, she wants him to act up, she wants him to be out of his depth as he realises how far he has fallen from grace and status, because that’s when she will tighten the final screws, plotting with her calculating mother, she will get her way, soon.

“We can only feel a great sadness and sorrow for prince Harry right now, as he will soon find out what the true repercussions are for marrying this evil conniving money grabbing grifter and her skin whitening concoctions, who actually detests black people in reality, but uses the race card at every opportunity. The only reason one whitens the skin from its actual dark state, is because you detest your own skin, as Meghan does. It is only a matter of time, how long can Meghan Markle keep up the charade of ‘loving’ Harry when she can barely stand him day in day out? Eventually, she will reveal the true Meghan to Harry, which is a cold, loveless, calculating machine for greed, narcissism, power and money — nothing more.”

Japanese Hold Coronavirus Festival

February 20, 2020

Thousands of Japanese people stripped down naked and gathered in an enclosed stadium to see who could spread the coronavirus the most.

“This is the stupendous moment I have always been waiting for, to not only have another Jap’s sweaty penis jammed between my buttocks but to contract and spread coronavirus COVID-19 all over Japan,” one squashed naked Japanese sushi worker yelped as the crowd moved forward.

10,000 men take part in the festivities, dressed only in simple white loincloths and tabi socks. This year was very special and the festival prize was changed at the last minute to accommodate the deadly new Chinese virus.

“Sweating, sneezing and touching other half-naked men to spread the coronavirus further is the real prize,” Shinjuku Mara, one of the priests present told Okayama news outlet, JOVI-66.8 FM.

The festivities don’t just end there. Whoever spreads coronavirus to as many festival revellers as possible will receive a swift kick in the gangoolies which is said to bring good luck to the receiver for the year.
