Ideas Of What To Wear For Burns Night

With it came the revolution

This post is to giggling about a serious matter. Others make blacklists and laughter, as one of the protesters tweet the other day from Tahrir Square : Want to laugh? I'm thinking to myself, "if I get arrested, moms going to kill me ... And Mubarak

I have the expired passport. That for a journalist is a very unfortunate thing, because my job is to tell things from the stock market, or from the Ministry of Economy, or the wording of my TV, but imagine that I sent to Egypt to tell the revolution of those days. I would have loved, but could not not have a valid passport (*) .

So while I hesitate to jump right into the process of renewing (my ID is expired too) I began to browse the passport. And I found some stamps.


Summer 2007, travel to Tunisia superamor full of fish, jellyfish stings and tomatoes, in Mahdia, the largest fishing port in the country. December 2010, a young Tunisian named Mohamed Bouazizi protest after his street stall fruit was confiscated, leaving no jobs, no source of income, without means to support his family, burning to bonzo. His action, coupled with the discontent of the people by rising prices of basic foodstuffs, economic crisis and corruption in the country, led to an unprecedented revolution that succeeded in overthrowing Ben Ali.


Summer 2009 , adventure travel, tourism and gastronomy Maricalpi, left me half-hearted in Cairo and the other half in the Nile January 2011, infected by the successful revolt of Tunisia and with a little help on the internet, Egypt roars. A crowd of demonstrators, with great presence of women, youth, families, protests against the regime of Hosni Mubarak. During days grow strong in Tahrir Square in defiance of police charges, lack of food and water, cuts in mobile telecommunications and the Internet. The highlight is the "million man march", a mass demonstration on 28 January. In this case the president refuses to step down, and sends his men, organized, cope with the demonstrators (what? Now I'm not a journalist, I am blogger). Armed with sticks, stones, Molotov cocktails and sometimes guns, face the crowd. After days of international press harassment and arrests of activists and human rights organizations, the government promises change, yes, but with time to retaliate and carry out a Tiananmen dropper. Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians continue to protest, calling the change "and" confident that things can change.

Coincidence? I think not.

With this passport, I traveled to Cuba, Rome, London, Istanbul and and there are those who ask if they imitate the Cuban Egypt. Here is a guideline, and I'm not the only he sees her.

What do you think? Is Cuba the next to fall? Would you continue to Turkey and then London? And then Cadiz?

And above all, where I'm going this summer?

(*) I have sent to Cairo, but I told here with the help of our correspondent, from Reuters, Al Jazeera and twitter, as well as possible under these conditions. And I've lived with an illusion that long ago that was. As of 2 February, my gtalk message was "on TV but dreaming of Egypt", February 3, I changed it to "on TV but suffering with Egypt", and yesterday was back to "dreaming."

I also thought my Coptic , I spoke the day before the riots started and had not been heard until Wednesday: "Do not worry about me, with my family away from Cairo. (...) the situation is no longer exciting to be dangerous only (...) Talking to you is very dangerous because the next day go the trouble! ".

Dancing with myself

Lately, it's costing me enough to write to the blog. I have crossed a couple of disturbing thoughts in the head hard to control (what What if discovered at work? Could I get in trouble? Is there any way to write, so in general?). I'm not the only one of my favorite bloggers, Perlita Strike is thinking of leaving the blog (dear, do not. "Yours is usually the first blog I name when someone asks me recommendations. Seriously. I love the way you write and count things and, really, I think you have talent. Share it with us and if you must leave something, leave a forum that will certainly not appreciate your words as I and still giving the key as Perlie).

In short, I'm a little plop with what to write, so that is why I decided to write about something I love (although I'm going to be a pretty boring post, notice).

Dance.

No, not mine, I have already given too fussy. But on another dance that I love, which was the first type of dance that made me exclaim "Wow. I wish I could do that." The ballet. When I discovered it was already about eleven to twelve years and was a shy and clumsy young I was very frustrated that a year of gymnastics did not come out after four years practicing. But that's another story.

A summer dance company came to Palma, I remember that was the ballet company in Cuba, led by Alicia Alonso and asked my mother to take me to see the show. I left excited. Since then I fell in love with ballet and went to see show after show.

But I never sign up for ballet classes. I suppose that young plump thought it was too late to get some tips and never asked her guns to ballet. I guess he thought that those extra kilos and under that grace could never fit into a tutu. I do not remember. But read a thousand times "children of Thursday" (a young adult novel about a boy and his sister danced. It left him a ........ and never saw him again. Still miss this book) stole from her father Tchaychovsky music tapes, Stravinsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, sighed by Julio Bocca and gave much to watch that her mom to go to see ballet.

Many years later, I still love ballet. I alternate with contemporary dance, I discovered later and still has wonderful things. I would go more often and learn about dance history and technique, but I'm learning poc a poc. So I'm happy in recent months, because they are leaving many documentaries and films on the subject.

First, Black Swan, as hazardous to premiere go to see the race.

continue with "The effort and courage" a documentary about how the Society of Maurice Béjart in Lausanne is living after the death of Béjart.



Third, "The Dance" on the Ballet of the Paris Opera.



And finally (I think) "Pina", a 3D movie with the work of the choreographer Pina Bausch.



How many will be released in Spain? Possibly all, but I think that only the privileged in Barcelona and Madrid can see them all.

"The effort and courage" I think it was made in Barcelona but in Madrid, "The Dance" is now in the Verdi, see "Black Swan" I do not think that is a problem with "Pina" ... we'll see.
