Yassas my people!
Hope your spirits r alright,

Yesterday evening, while I was strolling like a stone over the grassy hills and the last rays of the sun were slapping my drowsy face, I met my brother Mr? who was washing his car by hand (in case you're wondering: yes,he was wearing a suit even in that occasion)..

Well, we sat on the bonnet and started talking about deep matters, the ones that Balcanian people like me use to talk about after a reinvigorating meal, like you kno...life, stages, colours, sounds and offcourse, the Plot.
Well, we still have different points of view on that matter...but anyway we both think that travelling should be a colourful experience that fills your heart like a casbah, that makes you meet love & peggars, tzigani punkrockerz & peanut smugglers, cheerful undertakers & gloomy jugglers...it's not easy to tell what's the real meaning of travellimg.

-Pardon me if i'm not so clear, but it's not easy to write down on a computer keybrd while my hands r holding two glasses filled with the finest ouzo but anyway, I hope you'll understand what I mean...-

Anyway, what I'm trying to tell is that we played our heart out in our last gigs...trying to describe the meaning of Eva's travelling...it's not so simple, but if you'll give us other chances in the future we'll manage....

Promise.

Yours,
BH

Türkiye çok güzel!

Yeah fellows.... Turkey is very beautiful! I'm spending in Istanbul the most awesome days of my entire life and to be honest, after last "Shout Party!" I believed that impossible.

Why Istanbul? Well, this city is colorful, amazing and, simply, awesomly charming... I'm living in a big and comfortable flat with two nice guys, who are definitely great. They're very hospitable and they can also cook a heavy bunch of wonderful turkish food! So, I'm trying to share with them some of the secrets of classical italian cook! My first experiment went really good, and it made me quite happy I must say.
However, two days ago I went to a super cool massive party that take place just once per year here in Istanbul. It's name is Hıdrellez Festival. Evet (yes), that means that I was insanely lucky to be in here at the right moment.
Inside that festival you can find a LOT of cool stuff, such as super great food, weird events, a magic tree which makes wishes come true and, overall, astounding gypsies! I spent my whole night wandering around to follow the most skilled jugglers and dancing with crazy darbuka's groovy patterns! After that, the most enjoyable thing was a hilarious Ayran shaking dance, performed by a group of giant mad cows. Harika (wonderful)!

Well, fellows, I've a lot of stuff to do tomorrow, so I really have to go now. Btw, I hope to find some time to write about my crazy adventures as soon as possible.
Görüşürüz! That just means... See you soon!
