TURKISH INVASION: Happy New Year

29 December 2008

Happy New Year

I wish you all a happy new year which would hopefully bring all you want from life, fulfill your desires and keep you healthy (and safely away from Russia). Visit Turkey for summer holidays in 2009, meet Russian co-holidaymakers and also help Turkish GDP to reach reasonable levels over human suffering.

Here is a Soviet Santa "Kosmos"...how I like this weird art.

Check what I have written about New Year and Christmas celebrations in the eastern part of the Iron Curtain. In 2007, 2006 and some more. (It seems that this blog is up and running for more than 2 years...)

About this blog and me in particular

Hello...My name is Dinc Arslan. I am an Istanbul native, a Vegan sympathizer, a high-tech salesman and business developer by day and come nightfall I talk, write, draw and update my facebook status about how and when I talked, wrote and drew. I am suspicious of organized religion, colorful advertising and know-it-alls. I listen to electronic music made by analog machinery, yet I adore sparkling mineral water with a hint of lemon. If you feed me after midnight, I multiply. My name, when translated literally, means 'Healthy Lion' which I find terrifyingly exotic. I DJ for friends and foe and focus on mixing techniques rather than entertaining the audience.

I was born in Turkey in the dawn of 1980s and survived the Cold War, developed a brand loyalty to clinical democracy, a proud METU - TED - Bogazici MBA alumni, was a free-willing expat for roughly over 5 years in Russia (the capital of the evil empire and endurance drinking), Ukraine and Belarus and still a voluntary corporate slave of global capitalism.

This blog is about what other guys are afraid to say or simply don't care...
