Μια διεθνής έκθεση στη Θεσσαλονίκη 

Καταγράφονται οι μνήμες; Υπάρχει συλλογική μνήμη; Είναι έργο

 καλλιτέχνη η καταγραφή της μνήμης ή αποκλειστικά ιστορικού;

 Πώς ταξινομούνται τα πολλά προσωπικά θραύσματα μνήμης 

ώστε να συνθέσουν το "συλλογικό"; Φωτογραφίζεται η ιστορία;

 Υπάρχει μία ή πολλές ιστορίες για μία γεωγραφική ενότητα;

Στα ερωτήματα καλούνται να απαντήσουν τα φωτογραφικά έργα είκοσι δύο καλλιτεχνών

 από έντεκα χώρες της Νοτιοανατολικής Ευρώπης, οι οποίοι πραγματεύονται 

ερωτήματα που αφορούν τη συλλογική μνήμη, τους τόπους μνήμης, τις διαφορετικές 

κουλτούρες της μνήμης, καθώς και τον ρόλο της εικόνας στις διαδικασίες αυτές.

 Η έκθεση παρουσιάζεται στο Μουσείο Φωτογραφίας Θεσσαλονίκης.

Με τη χρήση φωτογραφιών και βίντεο, οι καλλιτέχνες εξετάζουν, μέσα από τα

 έργα τους, τρόπους με τους οποίους το παρελθόν εξακολουθεί να είναι παρόν

 σε αυτήν τη στιγματισμένη από συγκρούσεις και πολέμους περιοχή της Ευρώπης.

Τη μεγάλη αυτή έκθεση, με τίτλο "Recorded Memories - Καταγεγραμμένη Μνήμη"

 επιμελήθηκε η Constanze Wicke, συνεργαζόμενη με επιμελητές και φορείς

 (μεταξύ των οποίων το Μουσείο Φωτογραφίας Θεσσαλονίκης) από τις έντεκα χώρες 

που συμμετέχουν: Αλβανία, Βοσνία-Ερζεγοβίνη, Βουλγαρία, Ελλάδα, Κροατία,

 Κύπρος, Μολδαβία, Π.Γ.Δ.Μ., Ρουμανία, Σερβία και Τουρκία.

Χριστοφίδου/Κύπρος, Fani Zguro/Αλβανία.

Η πολυδιάστατη συλλογή έργων (φωτογραφίες, βίντεο και εγκαταστάσεις),

 που φέρνουν το θεατή αντιμέτωπο με διαφορετικές απόψεις, προσεγγίσεις

 και εκτιμήσεις συνθέτει τη μοναδική στην Ευρώπη έκθεση, που συγκεντρώνει και 

παρουσιάζει σε μια κοινή εικαστική εκδήλωση έργα καλλιτεχνών από τις παραπάνω 

χώρες, επιτρέποντας έτσι να συναντηθούν απόλυτα ετερόκλητες αναμνήσεις κα

ι πρακτικές της ανάμνησης.

Η έκθεση αρχικά παρουσιάστηκε στο Museum für Photographie του Μπράουνσβαϊγκ,

 από τον Μάιο ως το Σεπτέμβριο του 2013, προτού περιοδεύσει στη Νοτιοανατολική

 Ευρώπη.

Goody's Burger House

Goody's Burger House

Το club sandwich είναι από τα αγαπημένα μας sandwich και το έχουμε ταυτίσει με τα Goody's. Έτσι όταν ξαναβρεθήκαμε στα νέα Goody's Burger House, στο ολοκαίνουριο concept των Goody's, δε βλέπαμε τη στιγμή να το ανακαλύψουμε από την αρχή. Ακριβώς, καλά ακούσατε. Γιατί σ'αυτό το ανανεωμένο περιβάλλον των Goody's Burger House που σε προδιαθέτει να περάσει αρκετές ώρες με την παρέα σου, δεν υπάρχει καλύτερη ιδέα από το να εξερευνήσεις το νέο μενού. Κι εμείς ήρθαμε αποφασισμένοι.

Σ'έναν πολύ σύγχρονο χώρο με έντονο industrial και casual ύφος, που σε κάνει να νιώθεις άνετα μπορείς να περάσεις αρκετές ώρες απολαμβάνοντας νέες γεύσεις, συζητώντας με την παρέα σου, σερφάροντας στα tablets που θα βρεις στο χώρο για να ενημερωθείς χαλαρώνοντας. Η hostess, που μας υποδέχθηκε, μας πρότεινε σημείο για να καθίσουμε και φυσικά ήταν στη διάθεσή μας για ό,τι θέλαμε να ρωτήσουμε. Το επόμενο βήμα, λοιπόν, είναι να παραγγείλεις. Η γνωστή φιλική διάθεση των Goody’s παραμένει αλλά δεν παιρνούν απαρατήρητες οι νέες εμφανίσεις στο προσωπικό και ένα digital menu board για να δεις τις επιλογές σου. Αφού η hostess μας πρότεινε ένα άνετο σημείο, είδαμε στο digital menu board τις επιλογές μας και μας φάνηκαν όλες εξαιρετικές. Το κλασικό Goody's Club παραμένει η σταθερή αξία με φρυγανισμένο ψωμί του τοστ, bacon, τυρί, καπνιστό ζαμπόν, τομάτα, μαρούλι, μαγιονέζα, τηγανιτές πατάτες και πολλές αναμνήσεις κάθε φορά που το ξαναδοκιμάζεις. Το επόμενο βήμα, όμως, λέγεται Extreme Club και είναι λαχταριστό. Μεγαλύτερες φέτες φρυγανισμένου ψωμιού και τρεις ολοκαίνουριες προτάσεις. Σερβίρεται με πολλές τηγανιτές πατάτες σε καλαθάκι. Δεν είχαμε κανένα λόγο να αντισταθούμε σ'ένα Extreme Philly Club με φρυγανισμένο ψωμί του τοστ, φιλέτο κοτόπουλο, bacon, τυρί, τομάτα, μαρούλι, 3 πλούσιες στρώσεις Philadelphia και τηγανιτές πατάτες. Φυσικά υπάρχουν και νέες προτάσεις.



Άλλωστε στα Goody's Burger House συνεχίζουμε να βρίσκουμε νοστιμότατες casual food προτάσεις που μας κερδίζουν. Φυσικά δεν είναι μόνο το φαγητό αλλά και το νέο περιβάλλον που γίνεται στέκι. Θα παρατηρήσετε μεγάλα τραπέζια, όπου μπορείτε να μαζευτείτε με πολλούς φίλους, συνδυάζοντας με φαγητό μια βόλτα για σινεμά, αγορές ή και μια συνάντηση μετά τη δουλειά. Εμείς προτιμήσαμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε και τη γωνία τεχνολογίας με τα iPad στη για να ενημερωθούμε αλλά και να διαλέξουμε την ταινία που θα βλέπαμε μετά.

Για τους επιχειρηματίες αυτούς κρίνεται σημαντικό και αναγκαίο να έχουν φροντίσει έως την επόμενη δικάσιμο, να έχουν τακτοποιήσει τις σχετικές νόμιμες υποχρεώσεις τους για να απαλλαγούν και αυτοί.

Τα 7 νησιά-παράδεισοι της Ευρώπης

Ο Πόρος αναδεικνύεται ως ένας εκ των επίγειων παραδείσων της 

νησιωτικής Ευρώπης, σύμφωνα με το ενημερωτικό πόρταλ

της Αυστραλίας, news.com.au.

Αν βαρεθήκατε να βλέπετε τη Σαντορίνη και την Τενερίφη σε top καλοκαιρινούς 

ταξιδιωτικούς προορισμούς, το αυστραλιανό πόρταλ έρχεται να παρουσιάσει

 παραδεισένιες ανεξερεύνητες νησιωτικές περιοχές της Ευρώπης.

Gotland, Σουηδία

Την κορυφή της λίστας κατακτά το νησί της Σκανδιναβικής χώρας με το διάσημο 

εθνικό του πάρκο και τα 100 καταφύγια. Αποτελεί ένας από τους καλύτερους

 προορισμούς για αυτούς που αγαπούν τις υπαίθριες δραστηριότητες. 

Η πρωτεύουσα του νησιού, Βίσμπι, είναι μνημείο πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς της

 Ουνέσκο, καθώς διαθέτει 100 μεσαιωνικές εκκλησίες και προϊστορικούς

 αρχαιολογικούς χώρους.

Holy Isle, Σκωτία

Στα ανοικτά της δυτικής Σκωτίας συναντάμε το Holy Isle, ένα πνευματικό

 καταφύγιο. Οι επισκέπτες μπορούν να περιπλανηθούν στη γη ή να εγγραφούν σε

 πνευματικές δραστηριότητες, όπως ο διαλογισμός και η γιόγκα.

Traena, Νορβηγία

Οι οδοντωτές κορυφές και το πράσινο έδαφος κατατάσσουν το νησί της 

Νορβηγίας στην τρίτη θέση. Ίσως κανείς δεν γνώριζε την ύπαρξη του, αν δεν 

γινόταν εκεί το Trenafestival, που αποτελεί το πιο απομακρυσμένο μουσικό φεστιβάλ 

του κόσμου. Μουσικοί απ'όλο τον πλανήτη φτάνουν στο νησί για να παίξουν σε

 ιδιαίτερες σκηνές, όπως στο εσωτερικό σπηλιών.

Τένεδος, Τουρκία



Χαμηλοί λόφοι, όμορφοι κόλποι, αμπέλια και πλακόστρωτα σοκάκια δημιουργούν 

την ονειρική εικόνα του νησιού. Οι τουρίστες εισέρχονται σε «αργή ζώνη», όπου 

ηλικιωμένοι παίζουν τάβλι σε σκιερά μέρη και προσφέρουν κρασί στους περαστικούς.

Πόρος, Ελλάδα

Το νησί του Αργοσαρωνικού είναι το τέλειο μέρος για κάποιον που θέλει να ξεφύγει

 από την πολυκοσμία και την βαβούρα. Το λεμονοδάσος, οι αμέτρητες παραλίες και

 η ισορροπημένη αντιστοιχία διασκέδασης και απομόνωσης κάνουν τον Πόρο εξαιρετικό

 προορισμό διακοπών.

Elba, Ιταλία

Το τρίτο μεγαλύτερο νησί της Ιταλίας είναι και το λιγότερο φημισμένο από τα 

άλλα δύο. Η περιοχή διαθέτει ένα υπέροχο μείγμα από ιστορία, παραλίες, βουνά

 και δάση, καθιστώντας το σε ιδανικό προορισμό για διακοπές. Εκεί, πέρα από γαλήνη,

 ο ταξιδιώτης μπορεί να δοκιμάσει windsurfing, θαλάσσιο καγιάκ αλλά και ποδήλατο

 σε βουνό.
Comino, Μάλτα

Το Comino είναι ένα πολύ μικρό νησί δίπλα στη Μάλτα. Ήρεμο και απομονωμένο 

μετρά μόνο τέσσερις κατοίκους! Χωρίς αυτοκίνητα, ο επίγειος παράδεισος

 προσφέρεται για θαλάσσιες δρασηριότητες στα γαλανά νερά του.
