Masks show and flying time – seventh week

Time flies so fast that it is really hard to realize. I'm staying here in Gaziantep already two and a half months, and the same period of time I will finish the project here.
From one hand it is all routine and from the other there are so many activities.
So day by day I go to the kindergarten and realize that I love those kids so much, and I don't event want to think about the end of the project, but it comes.
I do cooper work and I described it on my previous blogs what I feel, when I'm doing it.
In this blog, maybe I could say about my activities, which are not connected to the project. So, when I arrived here, in some time my mentor has invited me to attend local Drama Course, which was run within the framework of project – local one. And I accepted the invitation, from that time I visited probably 5 lessons and it was enough for me to learn new things, new games and interaction will people. I have acquainted with many new people, they are so interesting and nice, with some of them I still keep in touch.
When we all gathered there in a Drama building with our tutor, we felt as children and were acting as children. New emotions, fun, and discussion of different topics – different areas of theater, human beings and social problems, and we showed it in a funny way, or even in drama way with possible psycho. Then we were given a task to make a mask for ourselves and by ourselves for a good memory. And we did it. Me and my mentor asked for help one good lady Tülin hanım from Millethanı, she makes different handicraft things and she taught me to make wood paintings. And I can say that our mask were the best, because they were performed professionally by us :)
My mask is performed in Venetian style.
For now, these are all news I have.

Stay tuned.

Penetrating "Parasites" into other segments of the population will make you think and remember this movie

I wanted to write a review about "Parasites" a long time ago, which impressed me very much, and the moments from the movie that I still keep recalling. You may have heard about "Parasites" many times but this is a picture of South Korean film director Bong Joon-ho, who received the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival this 2019 year. Bong Joon-ho has been in cinematography for many years, and he is well known globally for quite a long time. His thriller “Snowpiercer” was mentioned many times, which I have not watched yet, but I will watch all of his works after seeing the Parasites. A two-and-a-half-hour film plunges us into the tragic scene of two families, shows us the relationships of people from different social groups. At the first hour of a movie, viewers laugh on the truth in person’s essence they might see in themselves, and the next hour and a half they are amazed at the wretchedness, greed, cruelty, and such a strange stupidity of a human being. ...

Crimea: between empire and freedom,- interview with Nara Narimanova for El Mundo publications

Need to share this article that Xavier Colas has written six years ago interviewing me, pro-Western, and Tatiana Bridko, pro-Russian, (to give two opinions on the annexation) for El Mundo publication in Spanish. You can read it via not-perfect GOOGLE translation tool below.  All the rights are of the author and a publication copied from  El Mundo web-page . Crimea: between empire and freedom XAVIER COLÁS Updated:  04/05/2014  00:17 hours 14 When Nara Narimanova was a child, she had one country under her feet and another on her head.  The first was called Uzbekistan, a conservative land where Soviet inertia and Muslim traditions are walls that few can break.  There was a very different place in his mind: Crimea.  From there Stalin kicked out her grandparents, Tatars, in May 1944. For her and her parents, this region was a distant paradise that they had never trodden.  A mission to accomplish, a place to return ...
