lazy weekend

2010-03-22T22:41:00.004-04:00

"tu brillas mujer"

desayunando

I had a wonderfully lazy weekend in Philly filled with homemade arepas, palta, mimosa, hardy irish fare, fudge, and too much beer and cheese (actually made myself real sick a couple of times- whoops, fat kids). We played a board game called blokus which I might become obsessed with. Based on these photos it looks like I never left the house but I did get to see a fair share of downtown Philly and I quite liked it!

When left to my own devices, I often decide to leave my ideas for another day and watch 6 episodes of Greek on dvd in my bed instead. This weekend though, I got down to business a little bit and worked on a new project for my portfolio. Here are some results. Thoughts/comments/suggestions very welcome. Thank you.

Paris syndrome

2010-02-01T00:40:00.001-05:00

Paris syndrome is a transient psychological disorder encountered by some people visiting or vacationing in Paris, France. Japanese visitors are observed to be especially susceptible. It was first noted in Nervure, the French journal of psychiatry in 2004. From the estimated six million yearly visitors the number of reported cases is significant: according to an administrator at the Japanese embassy in France, about 20 Japanese tourists a year are affected by the syndrome.

Professor Hiroaki Ota, a Japanese psychiatrist working in France, is credited as the first person to diagnose the disease 20 years ago. However, later work by Youcef Mahmoudia, physician with the Hotel-Dieu de Paris, indicates that Paris Syndrome is "a manifestation of psychopathology related to the voyage, rather than a syndrome of the traveller" He theorized that the excitement resulting from visiting Paris causes the heart to accellerate, causing giddiness and shortness of breath, which results in hallucinations.

The large difference between not only the languages but the manner in which Latin populations communicate on an interpersonal level in comparison to the rigidly formal Japanese culture proves too great a difficulty for some Japanese visitors. It is thought that it is the rapid and frequent fluctuations in mood, tense and attitude, especially in the delivery of humour, which cause the most difficulty. Additionally, the lack of customer service in France is a huge shock to the uninitiated tourist.

This is fascinating. I may have experienced a mild version of it myself! My favorite of this is the last sentance. via viva vena cava

2010-01-11T20:25:00.004-05:00

I needed a little couch that would fit in the small remaining space in my living room, and also serve as an extra bed when I have guests. I got this really cheap Solsta sofa bed from ikea, and covered the cushions with mirrorwork fabric I've had since college, and voila! Totally looks way more expensive than it is.
