Boeing 737ime gözkulak ol! http://ogomogo.com/blog/2007/05/04/cay-ocagindayim-boeing-737ime-gozkulak-ol/ http://ogomogo.com/blog/2007/05/04/cay-ocagindayim-boeing-737ime-gozkulak-ol/#comments Fri, 04 May 2007 08:53:03 +0000 ogo http://ogomogo.com/blog/2007/05/04/cay-ocagindayim-boeing-737ime-goz-kulak-ol/ Siz siz olun Boeing 737nizi şehrin ortasında terketmeyin.

Tuko’nun yolladığı haber sayesinde okudum ki Hindistan’ın Mumbai şehrinde trafiği yoğun bir caddede terkedilen Air Sahara‘ya ait Boeing 737 vatandaşlar arasında hararetli bir tartışma yaratmış. Uçağın dükkanının girişini kapattığını öne süren iş sahibinin kızgınlığından, Mumbai’nin yeni bir turistik değer kazandığını düşünenlere kadar çeşit çeşit yorum yapılmış.

Kullanımdan kaldırılan uçağı kamyonuyla taşıyan şoförün yolu kaybetmiş olması ya da uçağı bir hemzemin geçitten geçiremeyip müsait bir yere terkedip gitmiş olma ihtimali üzerinde de durulmuş.

Bu haber sayesinde pilotluk mesleğine ilişkin yeni bir meslek açılımının oluştuğunu da görüyoruz: değnekçilik

Originally “music under europe” project started in Oslo, Norway and it seems Barcelona authorities liked the idea. While Barcelona Book and Rose day (23rd of April) is getting closer, this sounds like another fun cultural initiative.

Though I have to say that there will be real competition “under Barcelona”. Already lots of metro stations and wagons are under the control of self-motivated and experienced “underground” musicians who are coming mainly from Balkanic and south american countries. I would not be surprised if their solid and international “underground” experience dominate easily the young and blooming artists of the alternative music scene. :)

anyways, by chance if you are fan of “alternative music” or happy balcanic melodies coming out of a broken accordeon does not satisy you and you want to listen to something else, here is the program of what is going to be heard under Barcelona :

BARCELONA. Miércoles 6 de abril
Estaciones de Universitat L-1 L-2
y Maria Cristina L-3
De 14 a 20 horas

Cosmic Grass (Es) dixie-rock
Las Perras del Infierno (Es) punk-surf
Lirio Zone (Es) funk-hop mestizo
Ost&Kjex (N) electrónica
Tellusalie (N) indie rock
The Light (Es) space rock
Tremendo (Es) hip-hop
Årabrot (N) hard rock

First one is a detail from Bulevard Rosa building on Paseo de Gracia and the second one is a shot from the new Torre Agbar of french architect Jean Nouvel which is built on Avenida Diagonal.

Although two popular architectural jewels of Antoni Gaudi – La Pedrera and Casa Batlló – and several other examples of modernist period are standing all along Paseo de Gracia and in the neighbourhood of Eixample, Bulevard Rosa building creates a graphically different and contradictory view to its surrounding with the calculated design of its façade.

Bulevard Rosa, Paseo de Gracia, Barcelona Spain

One of the symbols of the changing and renewing face of Barcelona, Torre Agbar, besides creating speculations provoked due to its form among the citizens of Barcelona, manages to add color and new textures to the cityscape.
