London. Reunion of friends who met during Helsinki Summer School 2002 (selected photos are here). Nikolay (RU, living London), Jeroen (NL, living Amsterdam) and myself Ivan (UA, living Prague). We have meet in London over this 5 calendar days (23 - 27 August, 2007), where Nikolay lives in a nice light and couzy 2 bedroom appartment with bright kitchen.

We have experienced an exponential growth of sunshine (12 seconds on Thu, 12 minutes on Fri and 12 hours on Sat onwards!), participated in a spot-at-least-one-Ferrari-per-day competition, attend the first ["children's"] day of Notting Hill carnival with 1.4 million fellow party
lovers and explored Cambridge.

• See photo report here from London and from Cambridge.
  
• Also see the photos from Nikolay's gallery.
  

I have got a nice links from my Austrian friend Mario, (Mario Krenn , we have met during our AIESEC traineeships in Ostrava, Czech Republic), who is having a great life in US, New Orleans now. I believe this is how he spends his quality time there... by attending music c0ncerts:

• Jazz
• The Police (Sting)
  

It is time to start a new chapter in life after all... hopefully new love... either love is eternal it can't be old or new... just feel it... get rid of the pain... I believe love overcomes pain... like in Harry Potter 5... the strongest positive emotions overcome the ones that hurt the most...Should work... I hope. I believe. I love. That is what my sister Lisa told me today in the night when I have called her and we listened to the storm of the Black Sea. Vse bude dobre - sings to me Vokarchuk from Okean Elsy...and I know that is the way it would be.

Here are some recent photos.

July 19 - October 21, 2007

Museum Kampa - the Jan and Meda Mládek Foundation has prepared in cooperation with the Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh an exhibition with the title "Disaster Relics", which presents prints by Warhol dealing with the theme of catastrophes. Many of these works belong to a series which was created at the beginning of the nineteen sixties; they reflect Warhol's fascination with death as well as his obsession with "fifteen minutes of fame". Some of these works document the life of the famous, for example a portrait of Jackie Kennedy shortly before and after the assassination of Kennedy. The rest, chronicling the lives of ordinary people, for example prints inspired by racial unrest in Alabama or by car and airplane accidents.

Been there.
