While in Fukushima...


the fear of a meltdown is growing


Greece still relies on "safer" forms of energy like the power plants of Ptolemaida that burn lignite


whose gas emissions have been killing people for decades (link in Greek) in a much more discreet manner.

The beneficial influence of non reality


The beneficial influence of non reality is an art project by two close friends of mine, Spiridoula Zachou and Vasilis Avdelas.


Spiridoula paints, while Vasilis writes music. The video above is a small teaser for their exhibition that will take place in Thessaloniki next week.

For the non Greek speaking, Spiridoula is briefly explaining her technique, using some art jargon that I am rather incapable to translate in English.

However, I think it's the imagery and the music that matter, and words only come second. Enjoy!

A London story


Last time I was in the UK was in 2006. I've been thinking of revisiting the island ever since, since lots of my friends were, or still are, studying or working there. It would be quite hard for me to imagine that it would take me so much time to visit it again, or that the purpose of the next travel would be business - driven. But life is a fluid thing, isn't it?


So this Sunday I found myself in London, staying close to the Marble Arch.


Walking around the charming Notting Hill area.




A night walk at Oxford st.


The Cupid firing arrows of love around the Piccadilly Circus.




The typical London cabs at China Town.




Destination: anywhere


London is a city full of trademarks.


And a significant amount of urban history.


Today, on my southbound flight back home, I couldn't help thinking what the next possible reason to visit London could be.
