While you may be able to see this if you travel to Istanbul, it’s much nicer to sit in your cubicle, watch the video, and then take a nap at work, especially because this one is pretty sick.

“Yekpare” is a storyteller which narrates the 8500 year story of Istanbul. The story embraces symbols from Pagans to Roman Empire, from Byzantine Empire to Latin Empire, and finally from Ottoman Empire to Istanbul at the present day.

Haydarpaşa Train Station, with its brilliant architectural forms, is the building on which the story is projected. The connection between middle east to west has been provided by Istanbul and Haydarpaşa since 1906. In the ’50s it served as a door for millions of internal emigrants who have triggered the chaos in Istanbul’s dialectical daily life scenes. The project’s conceptual, political and geographical positioning, the location’s depth of field and the fact that the entire show can be watched from Kadıköy coast; make “Yekpare” a dramatic presentation.

As if Americans needed another reason to ignore soccer. Arguably the best player in the USA right now, Landon Donovan, may be sailing across the seas and landing in England to play for Manchester City. “If Donovan were to leave MLS, he might be better served returning to Everton, where he is clearly valued by Moyes and his path to playing time is free of obstacles. For that reason, the choice would appear to be easy, but money has a way of clouding the decision-making process. MLS, which holds Donovan’s contract, is obligated to get the best deal it can for him. The chance for him to land a fat contract may be too good to pass up.”
