Since Saturday I am in Turkey.
Great weather, sunshine allover and friendly people. And I found an Internet
Cafe!
But this Turkish keyboard... Strange characters that end up weird on the screen...
Yesterday I made a boat trip. A big wooden boat, along the coast near Kusadasi.
Really nice! Small rocky islands, salty sea. And especially on the return: very
big waves!
I`ll try to post a picture if possible...
Greetings from Turkey!
Today I will be heading for Turkey.
Enjoying the sunshine, country and culture. And probably visiting some remains of old civilisations. And shooting photo's of course.
I'll be off for a week, so don't expect much posts the upcoming week...
If there is an Internet café, I'll try to give you an update of my whereabouts.
Can't promise anything.
Oh jolly. Excitement :-D
Are there any sheep in Turkey? Well, it is not New-Zealand, Wales or Texel. But they do have sheep. For the wool (the famous Turkish carpets) and the meat (makes great kebab according to some people). And even sheepish artefacts.
MKZ - The Game is a game developed by a couple of Dutch students of the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) for some design course (for virtual theatre and games).
In 2001 there was a Foot and Mouth Disease crisis in The Netherlands. Thousands of sheep had to be annihilated.
Quote from the makers of the game:
It's a tribute to all the animals killed during the recent Foot-and-Mouth-Disease crisis.
MKZ is the abreviation of Mond en Klauwzeer, which is Dutch for Foot and Mouth disease, thus the game is called MKZ - The Game.
What is the game about? Let's cite:
The Story
A farm. All the sheep there have to be killed to prevent Foot and Mouth disease to spread. But these sheep aren't sick. They need to be killed to PREVENT them from getting sick.
These sheep however, are not put down so easily. One of them, Mehetthew, hijacked the crane which is used to get rid of the bodies. However, now this crane can be used to prevent the sheep from getting killed!
It's up to you to pick up the vets who are killing your friends! You take control of the the crane, and grab those evil vets, and prevent them from killing your flock!
You can download a 6MB or 3MB version of the game for pc or mac at MKZ - The Game. It is fun, so enjoy. Save the Sheep!
Where am I? Since I travel a lot around the world, it can be interesting to know where I am currently.
Another photo shoot diving in the Red Sea?
Chasing wombats in Australia?
In the left column of this weblog you can see where I am right away.
From now on you never have to wonder :-)
Click on the map for a bigger picture.
You can also see it on my home page. In the future you will find there more maps of all countries I have visited. And photo's of all that visits as well...
No, Youssouf is not commercializing.
But sometimes a commercial on tv just happened to be really cool.
Especially when they have cool sheep in it.
Sheep riding mower-bikes.
You can view the commercial by going to the Mentos site, clicking Mentos Commercial on the right and click the Play Movie button, right next to the sheep on mower-bike thumbnail.
And there are some cool sheep wallpapers from the commercial as well.
You can go to the Mentos site, clicking Mentos Wallpapers. There are two sheep wallpapers, as you can see here. You can also go directly to the wallpapers page. Pick the wallpaper for your screen size.
Or.
Of course, click right below for the wallpapers:
