The walk
Here are some pictures of the walk this morning with the people we met on “couchsurfing” by a friend from the Turkish table.
We were Huseyin (Turk), Juli (Hungarian), Omar (Syrian-Argentinian), Cynthia (Argentinian), Nacho (Spaniard) and Tzia (Israeli) from our part and some 20 or 30 from this group composed of Turks and people from other nationalities.
It was a very pleasant walk along old Istanbul, we drank bozza and ate in typical places close to the Valens Aqueduct and ended up in Balat, a Jewish-Armenian neighbourhood. Along this walk we had the opportunity of talking to many if not all, whom we invited to our ceremonies in the evening-night at Kadiköy.

The ceremonies
Here are the pictures of those who came to the ceremonies. Many attended, two Turks (Canara and Can), one Italian who lives in Berlin (Elena) and Farbod (Iranian who lives in Dubai and studies in London), well it was all a mundialization phenomenon, but a very interesting atmosphere was created during the ceremony. Huseyin (Turk) and Tzvia (Israeli) officiated the Service and Well Being ceremonies in Turkish and English since everyone understood English, except for the Turkish artist Canara, who was very happy for the experience. The same with the others who followed the ceremonies very well.
Coffee at Canara’s atelier
Everything ended with hugs, tea and pastries and Canara (a friend of Carlos S.) invited us to her atelier to have tea, so we all went. Apparently there were many visual artists, painters, sculptors, ceramists, people specialized in drawings and collages… so a whole talk about art-related issues came up and they proposed to do some productions inspired by The Message and do an exhibit.
Canara’s atelier is two roads parallel to ours and is close to a small theatre, there were also some other artists I didn’t know yet and there we had some tea, coffee and pastries, which Tzvia bought. We enjoyed them and had a wonderful moment of interchange.
Then, Elena, who is also an artist, and although she lives in Berlin, was invited to do an exhibit in Kadiköy of her collages. She asked us to go to her atelier and invited us to ice cream and to talk some
more.
So, from ten in the morning when we left the home-salita, until almost midnight we were talking to people, going from one side to the other, enjoying ceremonies and a very good atmosphere.
Thank you to all our friend who arrived like “April showers” this atmosphere could be created.
So we thank our friends for their visits and animation.
A big hug,
Eduardo
