loving home
im definitely a home person. i love being at home. my familiar things and comfortableness... also happy to bear close to accessible internet, at home and out on my phone... and spritzing my new fav perfume on myself. thats the minus in traveling, i dont carry perfume bottles around, too much weight. speaking of which, i returned from my trip with 6.5kg more weight in my bag than i left with (airline check-in scale, 10kg vs. 17kg, minus 0.5kg laptop which was in the bag when i returned).
Barcelona subway has hundreds of kilometers of tunnels, i swear. i think NYC or Paris are similar... changing from one line to another is a miles walk away. i was wondering whats causing it; building it in several steps over the year or having to dig around relics underground (like in Istanbul) or... am i missing something? Vienna has a pretty extensive subway network too but its reaally quite simple, well connected lines... have to give them props for that. well, im too lazy to google this topic although it bugs me.
the one fault in multitasking really is the fact that u cannot watch 2 videos at the same time. unless the other one is silent. well at least i cant, its just too much.
me and doctor are booking flights to Thailand any day now, hopefully. the prices have gone up, i wish we had booked before my trip but there was some delay in confirming his holiday dates etc... still, if someone is going to find cheap flights its ME! the best prices right now seem to be in finnish online travel agencies, but they accept payment via finnish bank accounts and credit cards only...and the money for the flights is in turkey, not in finland :( the difference is only about 50e altogether so not worth a bank transfer and hassle... anyway i am getting quite excited actually, finally going to that part of the world. we should have about 2.5 week holiday in july.
this online free tetris is addictive.
in turkish news:
likening of autistic kids to atheists causes fury/Hürriyet Daily yeah, well, im used to reading bright things like this coming from turkish politicians and officials...
“Autistic children do not know how to believe in God because they do not have a section for faith in their brains,” sociologist Fehmi Kaya reportedly said. He also reportedly said atheism was a form of autism.
after this story the director of autism foundation rushed into telling that autistic kids are not atheists, they will go directly to heaven (Hürriyet Daily).
the world's 2nd worst city in traffic congestion is Istanbul, says study / Hürriyet Daily

Travel times in
Istanbul take on average 55 percent longer that they should and the
congestion rate for the city jumps to 80 percent during rush hours, the
report says.
People in the city lose 118 hours on average stuck in traffic annually, the report calculated.
(The report was made by TomTom). i spent 40min in a car today traveling about 7km. and i was not even surprised, half of the way was almost traffic-less! reserving 1.5h for almost any trip across the city is just practical.
