매밀 (Mae-mil, cold buckwheat noodles)
Image by annamatic3000
Another dish for hot weather... This is mae-mil, or buckwheat noodles, aka soba. And my most favorite place to eat it is at a restaurant called 미진 (Mi-jin) right behind the Kyobo bookstore at Gwanghwamun Station. Take some heaping spoonfuls of the items on the condiments plate ( scallions, grated radish, wasabi, seaweed) and plunk them into the bowl of cold soy broth. This makes a super tasty dip for the chilled noodles... In addition to being the best mae-mil (or mo-mil, depending on who you talk to) that I've had in Seoul, it's a great value... For 5,000 Won, you get TWO bamboo trays of the buckwheat noodles. Two people could eat their fill on 5 bucks!
I couldn't find their website online, but a nice Korean blogger has posted a map here.
See where this picture was taken. [?]

Agradeço a todos e todas que aqui vieram e que ainda aqui estão; e também aos que, por um motivo ou outro, se foram, partindo sem tempo para se despedirem por algo que porventura tenham aqui aprendido e ensinado. Tenho algumas prioridades, e isso quase todo mundo tem, mas eis que as minhas se resumem a uma única prioridade: continuar sendo autêntico, nunca sendo maria vai com as outras, falando sobre o que vejo e prevejo na showciedade. Às vezes, mesmo sendo calado, por natureza, eu mesmo invento casos engraçados, embora não seja de fazer graça, ou seja, sou mais parecido ao que está escrito aí abaixo, em inglês, sim, porque gente de quase setenta países frequentaram FOTEMAS – FLORZINHAS COTIDIANAS (isto é: contando com o primeiro Fotemas), até agora. É muito honroso, e aumenta o peso.
Nos dias 21/22 de abril do ano passado, eu estava no distrito Honório Bicalho, que pertence à cidade de Nova Lima, no mais do que sossegado bar do Batiá, quando, por erro ou descuido meu, ou problema técnico, perdi o meu sítio original FOTEMAS. Semanas de luta, fiquei meses fora do ar, o pessoal do Flickr me ajudou (agradeci na minha página, pois não sou ingrato), e reavi o direito de manter o nome FOTEMAS = fotos + temas, mas tive de recomeçar com novas fotos e novos textos. Desnecessário é dizer da chateação, embora eu tenha mais a fazer do que ficar na internet, mas faço com que as minhas postagens sejam mais do uma mera terapia, se não um lugar de conhecimento - o que implica dúvidas.
Eu não costumo programar a postagem para o dia seguinte, só raramente isso acontece. Em geral, o texto é escrito no momento, às vezes, a partir da foto que decido publicar; mas muitas vezes acontece do texto já estar pronto há dias, e se encaixa na foto, ou não; mas eu nunca me obrigo a “juntar os dois”, e assim é que nem sempre a foto e o texto têm algo imediato em comum; mas isso não tem maior importância, pois o que vale é o conteúdo de cada qual.
É no fim das madrugadas, indo até o meio da manhã, que eu trabalho meus textos - tanto aqueles que publico nos meus vários sítios e blogs, quanto os meus livros própriamente ditos. Depois, vou para outro tipo de dia.
Uma vez mais, agradeço a todas e todos pelo carinho extravasado por vocês nas visitas às Florzinhas Cotidianas.

LITTLE DIARY FLOWERS # 2.000
Dear friends
The problem with travelling alone is that sometimes you need someone else to hold the camera and take that nifty shot of you. On the other hand, to preserve the memory of this site FOTEMAS, my good fortune was to have worked with three great minds: me, you and you.
Music gets the best of me. Literature, Music, Social Sciences, Psychoanalysis…
Well… I have been actively taking pictures since 2004. I had bought a HP photo smart M407 back then. Now I take photos mostly with my Sony DSC-W180 – a small digital camera for an amateur photographer, ‘litlle girl’. The way I make my life has nothing to do with photography, but photography is just a way of keeping sane in an insane world. It’s been a long and widing journey, a long and wide road.
Thank YOU for visiting my stream, my site FOTEMAS... and of course a big thanks to the FLICKR TEAM for their support.

"we don't need food aid anymore, we need our heritage home!" said the Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi at the FAO in 1995. The determination of the Ethiopian authorities led to an agreement with the Italian government in 1998: the Aksum Obelisk was going to be send back home.
The two parties faced a new problem: who would pay the trip? Of course, the Ethiopian government could not pay, the Italians accepted. How could the 150 tons monument could be brought back? There is no carrier able to transport such a weight but the Antonov (this big Ukrainian plane with an opening nose) or maybe some American military planes.
Unfortunately, a new border conflict between Ethiopia and Erithrea (the war was few dozens kilometers from Aksum itself) started in1998 and delayed the plans. In 2000, resuming this absurd trench warfare (it killed more people than the 30 years civil war), the Ethiopian authorities started to prospect for a new carrier. American had accepted but in 2003 informed the Ethiopians that all their planes were affected to Iraq. So the Antonov option was still the best. Ironically, the planes and the pilots were the same as the guns transporters that came in the Aksum tarmac during the wars.
In 2005, after almost 70 years, 3 wars, 2 famines (how many people died?), the Obelisk arrived in 3 pieces (it left in 5 pieces) in Aksum. Huge celebrations celebrations have been organised to welcome the returning national glory. And now who's going to pay for the re-erection? And what to do with such a big thing?
See where this picture was taken. [?][?](in the real middle of nowhere, and this just to see all the 'attractions' of Aksum. And of course to escape the horrible city of nostalgy. But on the google earth I've just discovered there's a dry dam-barrage just behind where I was (dry barrage because of misconception we shall talk about it once). How can we know what is behind where we are if we already have the feeling to be at the end of the world. Well curiosity. It's like that Colombus discovered America, VAsco de Gama the way to India, Godard the Nouvelle Vague, etc.)(moreover I went by bike, I felt and broke 2 ribs)
