Eat your sweets @depachika

Did you enjoy happy Valentine? I hope you did.
I visited department store, just to buy some souvenirs for my family and friends, not for Valentine. Japanese people call the corner that sells food ‘depachika’. You can guess, ‘depa’ comes from department, and what is ‘chika’? Chika means underground. Yes, there are usually food corner on the underground floor at department store. Depachika is a very attractive world, so I recommend you go there and try to eat some Japanese sweets when you visit Japan.

Sakusa-shaped pie. So Japanese!!!

Nakji Bokkeum (Korean Spicy Octopus)

I was introduced to this Nakji Bokkeum place in Myeong-dong in a narrow alley. I’ve been disappointed many times by this fiery octopus dish in restaurants because plates turn out to be all heat and no depth of flavor.

This place does it right. Their secret is ginger and a lot of shaved onions. It’s also fascinating how easy this is to make. Even though it’s technically a stir fry, no oil is used. The result is tender octopus in a sweet ginger garlic fire sauce.

After making this video I made this at home, and it was the best I’ve ever had. Here’s how to do it.

INGREDIENTS

½ cup Water
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. Gochujang (Korean Red Pepper Paste)
1 handful Octopus or Squid, cleaned and cut into bite size pieces
Dash of Salt & Pepper
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Ginger, minced
1 handful Onions, shaved
A few Leek slices
1 tsp. Sesame Seeds
3 Tbsp. Gochugaru (Korean Chillie Powder)

• Heat water and ¼ cup gochujang on high heat.
• Add the octopus or squid. Throw in a dash of salt and pepper. Stir.
• Add sugar. Stir.
• Add garlic, ginger and 2 Tbsp. gochujang. Stir.
• Add onions, leeks and sesame seeds. Stir.
• Add gochugaru. Stir until it seems like the onions melt into the sauce.
• Serve.

I’ve heard Aoyama is the most beautiful one of them this year, so I went there to take pictures the scenery. Unfortunately, it was prohibited cross the pedestrian overpass, so I couldn’t take overlooking views. It was crowded with people shopping and taking photos.

People decorate front door of their houses to celebrate new year and wish good luck. They call it “kadomatu”, which means pine of door. I could find many kinds of decorates in my town as well.

Making of ‘B-Boy Dance in the Dark with E10’

Our video ‘B-Boy Dance in the Dark’ is a futuristic union of athletic B boys with uniforms featuring 20 camcorders.

For ‘B-Boy Dance’, 20 of E10 Camcorders and about 3L fluorescent liquid were used.

Videos that were played through LCDs of E10s were recorded earlier by shooting colorful videos on computer monitor.

E10 Key Feature

- Pocket Size (Ease of Use)

- 1080 full HD video

- 270 degree Swivel Angle Lens

- Smart Filter & Panorama mode

- Built in USB arm

- 2.7” Touch LCD

Please visit Samsung E10 Microsite!

The main reason why we used fluorescent liquid with flickering E10 LCDs is that we believed that glowing materials could enhance the visual impression of every single detail of B boys’ move.

B boys you see in the video are Zero-Nine and Ghost who are well known professional B-boys.

It was an awesome opportunity to work with them and we believe that our video turned out just like the way we planned.

Samsung HMX-T10 Camcorder: Full HD with Comfort-Tilted Lens

Samsung's new HMX-T10 camcorder captures full HD video and 4.7 megapixel still images, plus features a 2.7-inch display and a 20-degree tilted lens for shooting comfort.

Samsung Digital Imaging has announced its new HMX-T10 high-definition camcorder, which aims to put high-definition video shooting comfortably in consumers’ hands: the camcorder’s lens features a 20-degree tile so users can hold the unit more naturally while shooting video.

“The HMX-T10 offers not only a stylish, compact design and fantastic recording quality at an affordable price, but also demonstrates the thoughtfulness and innovation Samsung brings to making movie and image capturing a truly enjoyable experience for everyone,” said Samsung Digital Imaging president SangJin Park, in a statement.

The HMX-T10 features a 2.7-inch swing-out LCD display, and uses a back-side illuminated CMOS sensor that Samsung claims offers twice the sensitivity of conventional CMOS sensors: the HMX-T10 can handle 1080/60p and 60i high-definition video (for NTSC, 1080/50i and 1080/50p for PAL). The unit features a 10× optical zoom, incorporates optical image stabilization technology to eliminates motion blur and shakes,stores video to SD/SDHC removable memory cards, and sports face-detecting focus as well as standard autofocus and manual focus functions. The HMX-T10 can also shoot 4.7 megapixel stills in addition to shooting high-definition video, and can capture stereo audio (in AAC) format, although it doesn’t support an external microphone. Users can get their video off the camera using USB, or push it out to a big screen using either composite or HDMI outputs.

Samsung says the HMX-T10 camcorder will be available this month for a suggested retail price of $299; available body colors appear to be black, white, and red.

The Bridge on the Drina

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

Last weekend I went to rafting on river Tara in Bosnia. It was amazing (you’ll see photos in my next post). But while we were traveling there, one more time I realised how and Serbia and Bosnia and all ex Yugoslavian republics are truly beautiful!! In one moment we stopped at famous bridge on Drina river, it’sa bridge with heavy and long history just like entire Balkan. So, this time, for all of you who love history we will take a little ride trough part of Balkan history and famous novel of writer Ivo Andric.

The Bridge on the Drina is real bridge but it’s also famous novel written by the most popular ex
Yugoslavian writer Ivo Andrić. Andrić wrote the novel while living quietly in Belgrade during World War II, publishing it in 1945. Andrić was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for the novel in 1961.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/250 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO: 80

The Bridge on the Drina centres around the town of Višegrad and the Mehmed Paša Sokolović
Bridge over the Drina river. In Andrić’s story spans about four centuries during the Ottoman and
subsequently Austrian administrations of the region and describes the lives of local people in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/250 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO: 80

This bridge has very long and rich history and Andrić has written it so well. Andrić describes how
the mothers of these children follow their son wailing, until they reach a river where the child is taken across by ferry and the mothers can no longer follow. That child becomes a Muslim and, taking a Turkish name (Mehmed, later Mehmed pasha Sokolović), is promoted quickly and around the age of 60 becomes Grand Vizier. Yet, that moment of separation still haunts him and he decides to order the building of a bridge at a point on the river where he was parted from his mother.

The middle of the bridge, called “the gate”, is wider, and it quickly becomes a popular meeting
place for people from Višegrad and the surrounding area in a relaxed mood which is still typical of present‐day Turkey and most of the Balkans.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/125 / lens aperture: F4.4 / ISO: 80

In this novel, reader also learns that there are no tensions between the Muslims (referred to as
Turks throughout the novel), Christians (the Serbs), Sephardic Jews and the Roma people. Rather, they stand in solidarity with one another during the regular floods of the Drina.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/350 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO: 80

About a century later, Habsburg Austria conquers what is now Hungary, and thus a crisis within
the Turkish empire begins. The first nationalist tensions arise in the 19th century when the Serbian uprising in the neighbouring Belgrade pashaluk (todays Serbia) begins. After the Congress of Berlin, Serbia and Montenegro become fully independent countries while the Austro‐Hungarian Empire receives a right to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina and thus turn it into a protectorate. Since the completion of the bridge, time has seemed to stop, and the local people have many difficulties in accepting the numerous changes that come with Austrian rule.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/180 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO: 80

Town suddenly experiences a substantial influx of foreigners. People from all parts of the
Austro‐Hungarian kingdom arrive, opening their businesses and bringing the customs of their native regions with them. A narrow gauge railway line is built to Sarajevo and the significance of the bridge is soon reduced, but not completely, as will become apparent subsequently. Thanks to this modernisation, children begin to be educated in Sarajevo, and later some of them continue their studies in Vienna. They bring home ideas from the rest of the world and, along with the newspapers that are now available in Višegrad, nationalistic ideas emerge, especially among Serbs.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/250 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO: 80

Another “contribution” to these changes is the crisis of the year 1908, when troubles in Turkey give Austria an excellent opportunity to formally annex Bosnia and Herzegovina. During this Annexation Crisis, it becomes evident that Austria sees the Kingdom of Serbia and its royal dynasty, the Karađorđevićs, as a serious obstacle to their further conquest of the Balkans. The Balkan wars of 1912 and 1913, when Turkey was almost completely pushed out of the Balkans, do not help to foster better relations between Serbs and Austrians as they undermine the significance of the middle span of the bridge, with its friendly inter‐ethnic relationships and camaraderie. Many young Serbian men pass over it at night and smuggle themselves across the border to Serbia. The reader never learns if the most famous of them, Gavrilo Princip, passes across this bridge, although historically it would have been a possibility.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/500 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO: 80

In 1914 Gavrilo Princip assassinates Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo and that’s how World War I started. The Kingdom of Austria and Hungary declare war on Serbia, and the Austrians begin to incite the non‐Serbian population of Višegrad against the Serbs living in the town. The bridge with the old road to Sarajevo suddenly regains its importance, as the railway line is not adequate to transport all the war materiel and soldiers who will soon invade Serbia. As we learn from the historical account, the Serbian army defeats the Austrians on their first invasion and starts to advance towards Bosnia, so the Austrians decide to establish the front line on the Drina. They evacuate Višegrad and blow up portions of the bridge.

Some time after that we have World War II and some time after that we got beautiful country called Yugoslavia with famous president Tito. For years we lived in prosperity and peace (all 6 republics and nations together). Later we realised it was a mask, because during the 90’ we had terrible, teribble war, previous “brothers” were killing each other and ex Yugoslavia fall apart and republics separeted from each other. Now we all have our countries but most of the people are still quite nostalgic.

“Oh Vienna”

Samsung Digital Imaging has provided the author of this article with the mentioned digital imaging device.

I think I finally know why Ultravox decided to make song “Vienna”!
All I’m gonna say is “Oh Vienna”!!!!
It’s amazing, neat, adorable, calm, romantic, cold (like the rest of Europe as well at this moment), full of amazing energy and history and damn to cool!….Ohhhh Vienna!!!

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/45 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO:100

Very wild weekend is behind me. On Friday, I finished with my “normal” job, left Belgrade and went to the north of Serbia. I arrived quite late. In Sombor I drunk coffee with my parents and then met some friends, my brother and his wife and we went to Vienna by bus. Bus is definitely choice for tourist adventurist, It’s cheaper and so on, but if you have lack of time like me and only 1.5 days to visit Vienna and then come back home and prepare for job then it’s not so great choice. However, even I forgot what sleeping means and completely change night for day or day for night or…simply didn’t sleep, I have to say I had truly amazing time there!

When we arrived to Austria, first we did was attacking famous Austrian shopping village Parndorf near border. It’s literally a village full of all the famous clothing brands in the world. All of these goods are from previous seasons, and / or some of the items may have some minor errors or mis‐constructions etc. but hardly visible and choice of clothes is just amazing. When it is important for you to wear a certain lable on your clothings, these shops in the Designer‐Outlet Parndorf make sense ! You might be happy to get a jacket for “just” 300 euros that is over 600 euros in other shops.

After that we finally came to Vienna. My first impression was wow. What I find fascinating is that entire city is covered with amazing architecture in Austro‐Hungarian style so you have a kind of feeling that you have lost in some past time but the feeling is very comfortable.

So if you ask me what are things you must do in Vienna, I would say on first place : Please visit
Schönbrunn: Schonnbrunn Park and Gloriette!

I was born and raised in part of Serbia called Vojvodina (north) and in past, this part of Serbia was under Austro‐Hungerians at some point and Maria Theresie in that time made some truly amazing buildings in Vojvodina. So…before I visited Vienna, I already knew that Maria Theresia was a lady with lot of style, great taste and she was definitely a huge hedonist! And this place is just one part of Schönbrunn complex. She loved this building with its incredible view of the gardens and palace and took breakfast here daily. Lucky lady hmm?

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/125 / lens aperture: F5.4 / ISO:80

This is view from the garden on previous photo. Looking at this scene I couldn’t stop wondering what’s the feeling when you’re so powerful in every aspect and see all those ants (read: people) who are working for you. Ok I promiss I wouldn’t go in deeper psycho analyze of this.

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/250 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO:80

I don’t know really those guys, they just insisted to pose for me while I was taking photos in Schonnbrunn.

This is Museum of Modern Art. One more amazing thing about Vienna is that they invest so much in young talents and art. On their billboards, most of adverts are related to art events such as exhibitions, festivals, Opera etc. I guess, it’s one of the ways how you can see how developed is some country. If I’ve heard well, their Opera gets from government around 10 millions euros every year and employes God knows how many people. Respect!

Samsung ST550(TL225) / shutter speed: 1/125 / lens aperture: F3.5 / ISO:80

This is Hofburg Imperial Palace. The city was a stage to the Austrian Civil War of 1934, when Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss sent the Austrian Army to shell civilian housing occupied by the socialist militia. In 1938, after a triumphant entry into Austria, Adolf Hitler famously spoke to the Austrian people from the balcony of the Neue Burg, a part of the Hofburg at the Heldenplatz. Between 1938 and the end of the Second World War, Vienna lost its status as a capital to Berlin.

As every proper tourist, in the end of my one day journey trough Vienna, I went to famous Wiener Riesenrad Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park lol.

Rainy day, cold evening didn’t gave me marvelous panorama view, still it was maybe the perfect way to chillax somewhere on the sky and look Vienna after a crazy day.

If everything goes well, I’m going to Prague very soon and can’t really wait!!!
