Kilipirim






It's the name of a fair that takes place twice a year, a discount book, film and music fair. The name comes from "Chilipir", a word with Turkish origin meaning bargain, but also some unexpected gain. As you see, there was a bit of everything, from English books to old books, posters and old drawings.
The prices were more than affordable, some with 50% discount, some stands offered a free book for each one you bought- crisis effects. Of course books are one of the luxury items people tend to give up, so publishing houses have to make big efforts. There was also a place for donating and exchanging books and a Tibet and Himalaya photos exhibition. This is almost all I got- except for two posters and a CD!

I deleted the post I had written yesterday, because I thought it would not be good for this blog. For the awards assessments to follow, for example. Besides, it was pointless: who cares for our difficulties? By the way, it's election day today. A new start? I doubt it. Goodbye.

In a global society everybody should care about everybody everywhere. I wish you luck with the new moment you are going to live

"should" is the key word here.thanks.I have very little hope. But I voted.

This is a joke: by "new moment" I hope you mean the elections and the effects they will bring, not the forced and not paid vacation the deleted post was about, right? That will be a new experience, too.

NO, I did not. I was my joke- a bitter one. Trying to stay afloat.

There will be another round of the elections on the 6th. Until then, it's still a chaos, but we can still joke about this. This one I have just heard:
