Am looking forward to winter! I like the cold weather lol. It also means I get to dress up, winter cloths are way cooler (!) than summers gear. For instance I have a authentically made Keffiyeh (scarf below), if you’re ever held a real Keffiyeh scarf then you know they are kinda big, and for me too big for anything but winter, So roll on the snow, so I can wear my trendy overcoats and my brand new made at the only factory in Gaza scarf! If you’re in Dublin and see a long red haired guy sliding around on snow wearing the aforementioned say hi!
A forewarning; more cool cloths posts coming up over the season ahead!

A flash mob last week at Beirut Duty Free Rocks Airport with Dabke Dance, lol. Great to see innovation dancing about . The expression on your man’s face below says it all.
İstanbul was one of three 2010 European Capitals of Culture. One of my bros was in the great city for a weekend last year. Loved it. Flew from Dublin spent the weekend with his fellow travellers going from restaurant to bar to club. He doesn’t recall his hotel. lol. They were all impressed so we’ll be heading to the former Constantinople again. As one of the three European Capitals of Culture it is laying on the welcome in buckets this year. So what follows are some of the gems about the city that was the gate way to the Spice Route in years gone by.
Of a day the most inspiring images from the biggest galleries on the web will are presented here,
Enjoy
Ruhr Metropolis (Northern Germany) is a super interesting place to go see, was one of three European Capitals of Culture in 2010. It is in fact not a city, yet! More a region of 43 towns. Including Essen and Duisburg.
In 2010 Duisburg held the last LoveParade. On the 24th July, The LoveParade was the worlds largest dance party and in 2010 tragedy struck when revelers panicked and stampeded. fatality wounded many.
Ruhr Metropolis has some interesting theatre, clubs, scenery and history.
