Lately my gaming time has been spent on Stardew Valley (this run I'm finally gonna ask Krobus to be my platonic life partner/roommate 🥰), but also I started poking at this project again, which is a neighborhood that will theoretically become a vacation destination for Middleground.

Sachiko extrañaba la casa, desde luego, pero probablemente lo que no la dejaba dormir era el extremo cansancio. Se había levantado temprano, la habían zarandeado y baqueteado en tren y automóvil con todo el calor del día, y por la noche había corrido los campos con los niños, tres o cuatro kilómetros por lo menos… Con todo estaba segura de que sería bonito recordar la caza de luciérnagas. Sólo había visto tal cosa en el teatro de títeres: Miyuki y Komazawa susurrándose amores mientras navegaban río Uji abajo. Y desde luego había que vestir como cuadraba: quimono de rozagantes mangas, con un elegante motivo de verano, y correr por los campos con las mangas al viento, prendiendo con delicadeza de tanto en tanto una luciérnaga de debajo del abanico. Sachiko estaba embelesada con el cuadro. Pero de hecho una caza de luciérnagas era algo muy distinto. Les dijeron que si iban a salir a corretear por el campo era mejor que se cambiaran, y les sacaron cuatro quimonos de muselina, quizá especialmente dispuestos para ellas, cada uno con un diseño diferente, según correspondía a sus diferentes edades. «¡Nada que ver con las estampas!», dijo entre risas una de las hermanas. Casi era de noche después de todo, poco importaba lo que llevaran puesto. Cuando salieron de la casa todavía distinguían sus rostros entre sí, pero para cuando llegaron al río era prácticamente noche cerrada. Lo llamaban río, pero en verdad era poco más que una reguera entre los arrozales, algo más ancha quizá de lo normal, con gachos airones de eulalia en ambas márgenes, casi tapando la corriente. Aún se columbraba un pontezuelo a un centenar de metros.

Apagaron sus linternas y se acercaron en silencio: a las luciérnagas les molesta el ruido y la luz. Pero ni siquiera en la misma orilla había ninguna. «Igual no han salido esta noche», dijo alguien. «No, hay muchísimas. Venid por aquí.» Abajo en las hierbas de la ribera, en el sutil instante cuando se extingue el último resplandor, estaban las luciérnagas, rasando el agua en arcos, al vaivén del herbazal… Y aguas abajo, sin fin, sartas de luciérnagas ondulaban desde ambas márgenes, yendo y viniendo… trazando sus difusas líneas luminosas a flor de agua, ocultas del exterior por las altas hierbas… Sachiko lo seguía viendo, acostada con los ojos cerrados. En el postrero fulgor, entre la lobreguez que emanaba del agua y los plumeros que se mecían vagamente silueteados, allá, por todo el largo cauce, un número infinito de breves trazos de luz en dos largas bandas, mudas, irreales. Sin duda fue el apogeo de la noche, el momento que hizo que la excursión valiera la pena. Una caza de luciérnagas no tenía en absoluto la brillantez de una gira para ver los cerezos en flor. Era más bien, digamos, sombría, ensoñada. Tenía algo de la fantasía de la infancia, del mundo de los cuentos de hadas… Algo trasladable a la música, más que a la pintura, cuya atmósfera podía quizás captar el piano o el koto. Y mientras yacía con los ojos cerrados, las luciérnagas seguían guiñando sus luces a todo lo largo del río, toda la noche, calladas, infinitas. Sachiko sintió un arrebatado ímpetu, como si se uniera a ellas flotando y calando sobre la haz del agua, trazando su propia estela de luz.

Habían recorrido un gran trecho —ahora que lo pensaba—, siguiendo el riacho tras las dichosas luciérnagas. De vez en cuando cruzaban una pasarela, mudando de ribera, con cuidado de no caerse, pendientes de las serpientes, de sus ojos que fulgen igual que las luciérnagas. Sōsuke, el chico de seis años de Sugano, abría la marcha en la tiniebla, pues conocía al dedillo el terreno, y su padre, que las guiaba, lo llamaba inquieto: «¡Sōsuke, Sōsuke!». Ya nadie se preocupaba de si espantaban a las luciérnagas: había tantas… Además si no se llamaban entre ellos, corrían el riesgo separarse en la oscuridad, cada uno siguiendo por su lado a sus luciérnagas. En un momento Sachiko y Yukiko se quedaron solas en una orilla y desde la opuesta llegaban voces, ya claras ya emborronadas por el viento, llamando: «¡Madre!… ¿Dónde está madre?… Por aquí… ¿Y Yukiko?… Está aquí conmigo… Yo tengo ya veinticuatro… ¡No te vayas a caer al agua!».

Sugano arrancó alguna hierba por el camino e hizo un atadillo como una escoba: «Para guardar las luciérnagas», dijo. «Hay sitios famosos por sus luciérnagas como Moriyama en Omi, o los arrabales de Gifu, pero están acotados para la gente importante. Aquí a nadie le preocupa cuántas cojas.» Y Sugano atrapó más que nadie. Padre e hijo bajaban atrevidamente hasta el mismo borde del agua y la escoba de Sugano se enjoyó de luces. Sachiko y las otras empezaron a preguntarse cuándo daría por terminada la partida. «El viento es frío; quizás sea hora, ¿no le parece?» «Pero si ya vamos de vuelta, sólo que por otro camino.» Siguieron caminando; habían ido más lejos de lo que pensaban. Y de pronto estaban ante la puerta de atrás de casa de Sugano, cada uno con sus pocas luciérnagas; Sachiko y Yukiko con algunas en las mangas…

Los acontecimientos de la velada se sucedían sin orden en la mente de Sachiko. Abrió los ojos: quizás lo había soñado. Sobre ella, a la luz de la diminuta bombilla, podía ver un cuadro enmarcado en el que ya se había fijado el día anterior: tenía escrito en grandes caracteres Pabellón de la Intemporalidad, firmado por un tal Keidō. Sachiko contempló las palabras sin saber quién sería Keidō. Una centella cruzó la habitación contigua. Espantada por el incienso contra los mosquitos, una luciérnaga estaba buscando la salida. Habían soltado sus luciérnagas antes en el jardín y muchas se metieron en la casa. Pero las ahuyentaron metódicamente antes de cerrar las puertas para dormir. ¿Dónde habría estado escondida aquélla? Con un postrero arranque de energía voleteó un par de metros y luego planeó agotada por la habitación, yendo a posarse en el quimono de Sachiko, colgado del galán. Se movió por el estampado y entró por la bocamanga, brillando tenue a través de la fina tela gris azulada. El sahúmo del pebetero en forma de tejón estaba empezando a agarrársele a la garganta a Sachiko. Se levantó a apagarlo, y ya que estaba se acercó a ver la luciérnaga. La recogió con cuidado en un pedazo de papel, porque tocarla le daba repelús, y la sacudió fuera por una ranura del postigo. El jardín estaba negro como laca. De las docenas de luciérnagas que latían antes entre las matas y por la orilla del estanque no quedaba casi ninguna. ¿Habrían vuelto al río?

INTRODUCTION TO BARCLEONA

The Casa de les Punxes or Casa Terradas, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch.

Casa Batlló - in the center of Barcelona. Designed by Antoni Gaudí. It is considered one of his masterpieces. A remodel of a previously built house, it was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality. 

Plaça Catalunya - The plaza occupies an area of about 50,000 square metres. It is especially known for its fountains and statues, its proximity to some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, and the flocks of pigeons that gather in the centre.

La Rambla - is a street in central Barcelona. A tree-lined pedestrian street, it stretches for 1.2 kilometres connecting Plaça de Catalunya in the centre with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell.

La Boqueria food market - is a large public market in the Ciudad Vieja district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and one of the city's foremost tourist landmarks, with an entrance from La Rambla, not far from the Liceo, Barcelona's opera house.

Gothic Quarter - The charming Gothic Quarter, or Barri Gòtic, has narrow medieval streets filled with trendy bars, clubs and Catalan restaurants. The Museu d'Història de Barcelona shows remains of the Roman city. Artisans sell leather and jewellery near the Cathedral of Barcelona, while flower stalls and street-food vendors line busy avenue La Rambla. The Plaça del Pi, named after the adjacent Gothic church, hosts a weekend art market.

Barcelona Cathedral - The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The cathedral was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, with the principal work done in the fourteenth century.

Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar - is a church in the Ribera district of Barcelona, Spain, built between 1329 and 1383 at the height of Principality of Catalonia's maritime and mercantile preeminence. It is an outstanding example of Catalan Gothic, with a purity and unity of style that is very unusual in large medieval buildings. 

Beach

Park Güell  - is a public park system composed of gardens and architectonic elements located on Carmel Hill, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Park Güell is the reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude, which belongs to his naturalist phase. During this period, the architect perfected his personal style through inspiration from organic shapes.

La Sagrada Familia - is a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. 

Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years work to piece together the fragments of the master model.

Casa Milà - popularly known as La Pedrera or "The stone quarry", a reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a modernist building. It was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912. The building was commissioned in 1906 by Pere Milà [ca; es] and his wife Roser Segimon [ca; es]. At the time, it was controversial because of its undulating stone facade, twisting wrought iron balconies and designed by Josep Maria Jujol. Several structural innovations include a self-supporting stone façade, and a free-plan floor, underground garage and the spectacular terrace on the roof.

Fundació Joan Miró - is a museum of modern art honoring Joan Miró. His connection to the land and his interest in everyday objects and in the natural environment formed the backdrop to some of his technical and formal research. Self-contained in his manners and public expressions, it is through art that Joan Miró showed his rebelliousness and a strong sensitivity to the political and social events around him.

Montjuïc Castle - is an old military fortress, with roots dating back from 1640. In the last 350 years Montjuïc Castle has played a decisive role in the history of Barcelona, becoming a symbol after the Catalan defeat to Spain in 1714. Since then the Montjuïc cannons have bombarded the city and its citizens on various occasions, and Montjuïc has been used as a prison and torture centre repeatedly for three centuries.The castle is infamous in Catalan history books because of its role in the civil war from 1936 to 1939 when both sides of the conflict imprisoned, tortured and shot political prisoners at Montjuïc, among them Lluís Companys, who was the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. Companys was executed upon orders from the Spanish State at Montjuïc Castle in 1940.

Barcelona Pavilion - designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. The pavilion for the International Exhibition was supposed to represent the new Weimar Germany: democratic, culturally progressive, prospering, and thoroughly pacifist; a self-portrait through architecture.

Jardí Botànic de Barcelona (Botanic Garden) - set amongst a number of stadiums used in the Summer Olympic Games of 1992. Although a botanical garden had been established in Barcelona as early as 1888, the current gardens date from 1999. “After only a few minutes of walking around the Botanic Gardens I felt I had entered a Zen monastery, calm and peace and cleanliness.”

Bibliotec Sant Antoni (Joan Oliver) - The library, named in honor of playwright and poet Joan Oliver, came about through a competition won by RCR in 2005. The architects sought to make the street more dynamic and to open up the inner courtyard for public use, as well as to create a library. The glass-enclosed main reading room is raised up and set between the two lateral wings of the library, which allow light to filter through from both sides, forming a gateway into the public space. This courtyard, with its trees, earthen paving, sitting areas, games, etc. can be understood as an extension of the library’s reading rooms.

Plaza de la Gardunya - Escuela Massana (school of Art and Design) is part of the long process of urban transformation of Plaza de la Gardunya, located in Barcelona’s historical centre. the effort put into this project responds to the desire of creating a bright interior space with open connecting spaces whilst, at the same time, the exterior of the building remains in harmony with the urban fabric. The building showcases different volumetries and façade textures as a response to the surrounding buildings. With the aim of giving it a more unique and sculptural look and, at the same time, make it more airy, the section that faces onto the square is divided into two sections slightly rotated, creating terraces.  The school, which is an institution that welcomes future artisans and designers, is clad in a ceramic material of large dimensions, made in an artisanal manner and unique to our building. This helped to give it its unique character and highlights the sculptural nature of the building, whilst protecting the privacy of the students.

Santa Caterina Food Market - Buzzy market featuring a unique, wavy roof & colourful mosaics, with a variety of vendors & eateries. A competition was opened to restore the Santa Caterina city market located in the old quarter of Barcelona in 1997. EMBT won the bid with a proposal that aimed at incorporating the extreme complexity of the setting itself by creating a commercial market complemented by a residential zone and public spaces that integrated all the activities of the neighbourhood.

22@ District - is the corporative name given to an urban renewal area in Barcelona's formerly industrial area of Poblenou, in the district of Sant Martí, nicknamed "the Catalan Manchester" in the 19th century. Its aim is to convert Poblenou into the city's technological and innovation district, as well as to increase leisure and residential spaces. Centered on Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, it is part of one of Europe's biggest urban regeneration schemes, begun during the 2000s and still ongoing.

The Museu del Disseny de Barcelona - is a new center of Barcelona's Institute of Culture, acting as a museum and laboratory. It focuses on 4 branches or design disciplines: space design, product design, information design and fashion. Barcelona is a city historically linked to design. It was decided to build a single space in which locate all collections and endowments existing in Barcelona related to the world of design, and Oriol Bohigas commissioned the construction of a building in the Plaça de les Glòries.

Torre Glòries - is a 38-story skyscraper which marks the gateway to the new technological district of Barcelona. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel in association with the Spanish firm b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos and built by Dragados. Torre Agbar is intended to recall the shape of a geyser rising into the air. It was inspired by Montserrat, a mountain near Barcelona. In an interview, he described the tower as having a phallic character.

Edifici Mediatic - Enric Ruiz-Geli doesn’t emphasise the media impact of his futuristic building, but instead its energy efficiency. Extensive studies formed the basis for the parametric design where the award-winning steel frame is on the outside and the interior offers flexible use of space. The patented cushions made of ETFE membranes are controllable, allowing the different façades to be insulated, opened, or shaded as needed. Edifici MediaTIC is a prime example of forward-looking architecture.

Urban Superblocks - Barcelona’s radical plan to take back streets from cars. A vision for a different way of living in the 21st century, one that steps back from many of the mistakes of the auto-besotted 20th century, refocusing on health and community. It is a bigger and more ambitious city plan than anything being discussed in America and, more important, a plan that is actually being implemented, with a few solid pilot projects behind it, a list of lessons learned, and a half-dozen new projects in the works.

Can Framis Museum - Is an art center devoted to the promotion of contemporary Catalan painting. Located in the old Can Framis factory complex, the museum displays more than 250 paintings from the sixties to the present made by artists born or currently living in Catalonia.

Museu Blau (Science Museum) – By Herzon De Meuron “We look for materials which are as intelligent, versatile and complex as natural phenomena, in other words materials which don't just appeal to the eyes of the astounded art critic, but are also really efficient and appeal to all our senses.” – Jacques Herzog. A triangular mass of gray-blue concrete punctured and split in places to reveal the contrasting use of reflective planes.

Walden 7 - is an apartment building designed by Ricardo Bofill's team and located close to Barcelona, in Catalonia. It was built in 1975. The original project includes 446 residences. The original exterior façade was covered with small, red ceramic tiles backed with the wrong adhesive, creating a pedestrian hazard as the tiles fell off the building.

The day of the Dead - is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. The holiday involves family and friends gathering to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and helping support their spiritual journey. In Mexican culture, death is viewed as a natural part of the human cycle. Mexicans view it not as a day of sadness but as a day of celebration because their loved ones awake and celebrate with them. Mexican cempasúchil (marigold) is the traditional flower used to honor the dead.

Igualada Cemetery - Designed by the architects Enric Miralles and Carme Pinós after winning an architectural competition in 1984. the cemetery became widely regarded as one of the most poetic works of twentieth century Catalan architecture. to explore poetic ideas regarding the acceptance of the cycle of life to enable a link between the past, the present, and the future. A processional "street" descends from the entrance, where crossed, rusting, steel poles doubling as gates and likened to the crosses at Calvary, proclaim the start of a winding pathway towards the burial area. The route is lined with repeatable concrete loculi forming retaining walls and the floor of the path has railway sleepers set into its concrete surface.The intention was to bring the bereaved down into the landscape to a 'city of the dead', an in between place where the dead and the living are brought closer together. The spaces are designed to provoke thoughts and memories.

It was built in 1929 on the initiative of the architect Josep Puig I Cadafalch . The reason was the International Exhibition that would be held that same year in Barcelona. The idea was to reproduce, in a single space, all the characteristics of a traditional Iberian town . In this way, the architecture and cultural roots of Spain were exposed. The idea was to tear it all down once the event ended, but its great popularity did not allow this to happen.

Visiting El Pueblo Español is like going to an open-air museum . There you can see all kinds of architecture, artisan workshops, gastronomic walks, churches, squares and very picturesque streets. This, without a doubt, is one of the must-see places in Barcelona.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Catalan: Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia), also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The cathedral was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, with the principal work done in the fourteenth century. The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (Font de les Oques) was completed in 1448. In the late nineteenth century, the neo-Gothic façade was constructed over the nondescript exterior that was common to Catalan churches. The roof is notable for its gargoyles, featuring a wide range of animals, both domestic and mythical. The cathedral is dedicated to Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, a young virgin who, according to Catholic tradition, suffered martyrdom during Roman times in the city. One story says that she was exposed naked in the public square and a miraculous snowfall in mid-spring covered her nudity. The enraged Romans put her into a barrel with knives stuck into it and rolled it down a street (according to tradition, the one now called Baixada de Santa Eulàlia). The body of Saint Eulalia is entombed in the cathedral's crypt. ⛪️ 📸 🍀 #Travel #TravelPics #Photography #TravelPhoto #Podroze #Wycieczka #Zdjecia #Catalonia #Spain #barcelona #visitspain #visitcatalunya #visitcatalonia #visitbarcelona #Autumn #Sun #Fun #Follow #FollowMe #FollowThem #Walk #Walking #barcelonacathedral #barcelonacathedral⛪️ #barcelonacatherdral (w: Catedral De Santa Eulalia Barcelona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJUOJCSHvGQ/?igshid=11al79yopxtif

I wanted a studio apartment to move Louise into after her Mandatory Freshman Dorm Stint, so I slapped this together based off a plan that popped up when I searched 'studio apartment floorplan'. I think it'll work really well for the uni students!

#ts2 #eulalia: exteriors #I might remake it and put a copy in the base hood too I kinda like it

[dramallamadingdang]

Oh, God, it’s the 10 questions meme again!

@eulaliasims tagged me. It’s her fault! :) This is the one where you answer the 10 questions from the person who tagged you, then you make a list of 10 questions for 10 people you tag to answer. (Mine are silly, as usual, and not Sims-related because I’m that way. :) )

I cut, because as usual I babble, but here’s my tag list for my questions above the cut. Because I am lazy, I tag the last 10 folks who have an active Tumblr and who left me a note on a post, as of the time I'm writing this, so: @annegirl13, @wiksims, @littlemicrocosims, @simblrkersil, @savannahsimslover, @acquiresimoleons, @knightcommanderalenko, @emperorofthedark, @holleyberry, and @drudragonrose. (But as always, feel free to completely ignore if this isn't something you want to do for whatever reason. No pressure at all! :) )

Eulalia’s questions answered:

If you like to decorate in the Sims, what’s your favorite type of room to do? If you don’t, how do you handle decorating instead? Bare minimum? Downloading furnished lots?

I actually don't really like decorating, at least not the inside of houses. Build, yes; decorate, no. I do like decorating exteriors, though. So, for me, I usually do not much above the bare minimum for interiors, and I pretty much do the same things all the time so that A) I don't have to think about it much and B) I can keep down the CC level somewhat. I certainly can't be bothered with clutter and all that. That said, I do like to do kitchens and somewhat decadent master bathrooms, probably because those are my favorite real-life rooms, too.

Do you like to listen to anything like music or podcasts when you play?

Not while I play, no. I like to hear the sound effects like ringing phones and the sounds of Sims getting hearts and the sounds of Sims getting busted for cheating and the sounds of stuff breaking. But if I'm building or creating stuff, I'll usually have a TV show or movie playing in another window or on the second monitor I have. That's one of the good things about having a large monitor. But sometimes if I don't feel like having a show playing in the background, I'll put on Spotify and listen to whatever sort of music I'm in the mood for.

What made you choose your first expansion pack for the game (or games, if you play more than one iteration of the Sims)?

I suppose technically the first EP I got was Nightlife because when I started playing -- which was in January of 2008, I think, because I know it was a little before Freetime was released because I remember seeing the signs for Freetime in Walmart -- I downloaded Deluxe from EA before the whole "Origin" thing existed. Deluxe was the base game plus Nightlife, so Nightlife was my first expansion. I don't think that really counts, though, because I didn't pick it and probably wouldn't have picked it if I'd had a choice because it's one of my least-favorite EPs. It was just all that was available for download at the time. So the first "real" EP I got in the sense that I chose it was Seasons. It was on sale for $10 at Walmart when I was there like a week after I got the game, so I bought it. So, "it was available and on sale" was the main reason I got it," but I probably would've picked it anyway for the gardening.

What’s your favorite kind of weather?

Cool/cold but sunny and crisp weather. I can't wait to go home to Colorado in November. :D

What’s the first ever music album you remember buying?

The Moody Blues's Days of Future Passed. I got it a couple years after it was released; I think I was 5, so it would’ve been in 1969. I more or less immediately started picking out “Tuesday Afternoon” on the piano once I could listen to it whenever I wanted. It's still in my Top 5 favorite albums. I love prog/psychedelic rock, specifically, and concept albums in general.

Do you prefer default townies, custom townies, or no townies at all? (Or maybe default and custom?)

Either default or none at all. I go back and forth. When I get tired of the defaults, the empty Pleasantview template goes in. I've never felt a need to mess around with custom townies. At most, if I want townies and I don't have the default ones, I let the game generate a batch of townies. I don't bother with making them myself. But then, I don't generally make Sims, period, so...

Why is your favorite book your favorite?

Because it's historical fiction (my favorite genre) with minimal anachronism and not romanced-up. Believe me, that kind of thing is hard to find, especially the not-romanced-up part. I mean, if I want to read about people having sex, I'll read some (good) erotica. I don't want to read "romance" books. :P

What’s the latest song/jingle to get stuck in your head?

The Ride of the Valkyries. I started humming it the other day when I was cooking, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. And I hate Wagner with the fiery fire of ten thousand burning suns, so I have NO idea why I started humming that damn thing. Make it stop!

What object (CC or not) do you use the most in your game?

Buggybooz's kitchens, I think. They're simple, and I have lots of recolors for them.

My questions, for my tag-ees to answer:

1) Chocolate: Dark, milk, white, or no, thank you? 2) How far is it to the nearest grocery store from your house/apartment? 3) How many house plants are in your house/apartment? 4) What color are the towels in your bathroom? (Or the bathroom you use most, if you have more than one.) 5) Your preferred brand of toilet paper? (No, really! I want to know!) 6) Do you wear socks? If so, what kind? 7) Are you afraid of flying? How 'bout in really small planes? 8) Do you like to cook? If so, what's your signature dish? 9) Are there popcorn ceilings in your house/apartment? 10) The beach: Love it, like it, indifferent, or hate it? Or something else?

Sachiko extrañaba la casa, desde luego, pero probablemente lo que no la dejaba dormir era el extremo cansancio. Se había levantado temprano, la habían zarandeado y baqueteado en tren y automóvil con todo el calor del día y por la noche había corrido los campos con los niños, tres o cuatro kilómetros por lo menos... Con todo estaba segura que sería bonito recordar la caza de luciérnagas. Sólo había visto tal cosa en el teatro de títeres: Miyuki y Komazawa susurrándose amores mientras navegaban río Uji abajo. Y desde luego había que vestir como cuadraba: quimono de rozagantes mangas, con un elegante motivo de verano, y correr por los campos con las mangas al viento, prendiendo con delicadeza de tanto en tanto una luciérnaga de debajo del abanico. Sachiko estaba embelesada con el cuadro. Pero de hecho una caza de luciérnagas era algo muy distinto. Les dijeron que si iban a salir a corretear por el campo era mejor que se cambiaran, y les sacaron cuatro quimonos de muselina, quizá especialmente dispuestos para ellas, cada uno con un diseño diferente, según correspondía a sus diferentes edades. «¡Nada que ver con las estampas!», dijo entre risas una de las hermanas. Casi era de noche después de todo, poco importaba lo que llevaran puesto. Cuando salieron de la casa todavía distinguían sus rostros entre sí, pero para cuando llegaron al río era prácticamente noche cerrada. Lo llamaban río, pero en verdad era poco más que una reguera entre los arrozales, algo más ancha quizá de lo normal, con penachos de eulalia inclinados en ambas márgenes, casi tapando la corriente. Aún se columbraba un pontezuelo a un centenar de metros.

Apagaron sus linternas y se acercaron en silencio. A las luciérnagas les molesta el ruido y la luz. Pero ni siquiera en la misma orilla había ninguna. «Igual no han salido esta noche», dijo alguien. «No, hay muchísimas. Venid por aquí.» Abajo en las hierbas de la ribera, en el sutil instante cuando se extingue el último resplandor, estaban las luciérnagas, rasando el agua en arcos, al vaivén del herbazal... Y aguas abajo, sin fin, sartas de luciérnagas ondulaban desde ambas márgenes, yendo y viniendo... trazando sus difusas líneas luminosas a flor de agua, ocultas del exterior por las altas hierbas... Sachiko lo seguía viendo, acostada con los ojos cerrados. En el postrero fulgor, entre la lobreguez que emanaba del agua y los plumeros que se mecían vagamente silueteados, allá, por todo el largo cauce, un número infinito de breves trazos de luz en dos largas bandas, mudas, irreales. Sin duda fue el apogeo de la noche, el momento que hizo que la excursión valiera la pena. Una caza de luciérnagas no tenía en absoluto la brillantez de una gira para ver los cerezos en flor. Era más bien, digamos, sombría, ensoñada. Tenía algo de la fantasía de la infancia, del mundo de los cuentos de hadas... Algo trasladable a la música, más que a la pintura, cuya atmósfera podía quizás captar el piano o el koto. Y mientras yacía con los ojos cerrados, las luciérnagas seguían guiñando sus luces a todo lo largo del río, toda la noche, calladas, infinitas. Sachiko sintió un arrebatado ímpetu, como si se uniera a ellas flotando y calando sobre la haz del agua, trazando su propia estela de luz.

Habían recorrido un gran trecho, ahora que lo pensaba, siguiendo el riacho tras las dichosas luciérnagas. De vez en cuando cruzaban una pasarela, cambiando de ribera, con cuidado de no caerse, pendientes de las serpientes, de sus ojos que fulgen igual que las luciérnagas. Sōsuke, el chico de seis años de Sugano, abría la marcha en la tiniebla, pues conocía al dedillo el terreno, y su padre, que las guiaba, lo llamaba inquieto: «¡Sōsuke, Sōsuke!». Ya nadie se preocupaba de si espantaban a las luciérnagas: había tantas... Además si no se llamaban entre ellos, corrían el riesgo separarse en la oscuridad, cada uno siguiendo por su lado a sus luciérnagas. En un momento Sachiko y Yukiko se quedaron solas en una orilla y desde la opuesta llegaban voces, ya claras ya emborronadas por el viento, llamando: «¡Madre!... ¿Dónde está madre?... Por aquí... ¿Y Yukiko?... Está aquí conmigo... Yo tengo ya veinticuatro... ¡No te vayas a caer al agua!».

Sugano arrancó alguna hierba por el camino e hizo un atadillo como una escoba: «Para guardar las luciérnagas», dijo. «Hay sitios famosos por sus luciérnagas como Moriyama en Omi, o los arrabales de Gifu, pero están acotados para la gente importante. Aquí a nadie le preocupa cuántas cojas.» Y Sugano atrapó más que nadie. Padre e hijo bajaban atrevidamente hasta el mismo borde del agua y la escoba de Sugano se enjoyó de luces. Sachiko y las otras empezaron a preguntarse cuándo daría por terminada la partida. «El viento es frío; quizás sea hora, ¿no le parece?» «Pero si ya vamos de vuelta, sólo que por otro camino.» Siguieron caminando, habían ido más lejos de lo que pensaban. Y de pronto estaban ante la puerta de atrás de casa de Sugano, cada uno con sus pocas luciérnagas; Sachiko y Yukiko con algunas en las mangas...

Los acontecimientos de la velada se sucedían sin orden en la mente de Sachiko. Abrió los ojos: quizás lo había soñado. Sobre ella, a la luz de la diminuta bombilla, podía ver un cuadro enmarcado en el que ya se había fijado el día anterior: tenía escrito en grandes caracteres Pabellón de la Intemporalidad, firmado por un tal Keidō. Sachiko contempló las palabras sin saber quién sería Keidō. Una centella cruzó la habitación contigua. Espantada por el incienso contra los mosquitos, una luciérnaga estaba buscando la salida. Habían soltado sus luciérnagas antes en el jardín y muchas se metieron en la casa. Pero las ahuyentaron metódicamente antes de cerrar las puertas para dormir. ¿Dónde habría estado aquélla escondida? Con un postrero arranque de energía voleteó un par de metros y luego planeó agotada por la habitación, yendo a posarse en el quimono de Sachiko, colgado en el galán. Se movió por el estampado y entró por la bocamanga, brillando tenue a través de la fina tela gris azulada. El incienso del pebetero en forma de tejón estaba empezando a agarrársele a la garganta a Sachiko. Se levantó a apagarlo y ya que estaba se acercó a ver la luciérnaga. La recogió con cuidado en un pedazo de papel, porque tocarla le daba repelús, y la sacudió fuera por una ranura del postigo. El jardín estaba negro como laca. De las docenas de luciérnagas que latían antes entre las matas y por la orilla del estanque no quedaba casi ninguna. ¿Habrían vuelto al río?

'Memoria histórica', la mostra que revisa els conceptes de memòria i història | Imaginart | 31 oct.

Inauguració: 31.10.2019 a les 19: 00h

Exposició: del 31 d'octubre al 29 de novembre de 2019

Artistes: Rosa Amorós, Victoria Campillo, Colita, Charles Fréger, Ferran García Sevilla, Jordi Font Recasens, Toni Molins, Santiago Sierra i Eulalia Valldosera

MEMÒRIA HISTÒRICA és un projecte que revisa els Conceptes memòria i història a partir dels Treballs de Rosa Amorós, Victòria Campillo, Colita, Charles fregit, Ferran García Sevilla, Jordi Font Recasens, Toni Molins, Santiago Serra i Eulàlia Valldosera. Una exposició comissariada per Victor Cortina. Memòria i història són dos conceptes que ens són familiars i que tenim, en principi, assimilats, però que ambdós es presten a manipulacions, interpretacions i visions múltiples. A vegades interessades, les que més, sovint deformades i en general susceptibles a ser revisades periòdicament. La memòria, constituïda pels nostres records, és una base de dades, en la qual no existeixen carpetes, sinó capes de sensacions, imatges i seqüències incompletes, que ens agrada recuperar, intuïtivament, per a assaborir-les, i racionalment confrontar-les amb la realitat actual per establir comparacions i prendre decisions. Hi ha diversos tipus de memòria, entre ells, la memòria declarativa (o explícita): conté els fets del món i els esdeveniments personals del passat que és necessari recuperar de manera conscient. 

La memòria episòdica: conté la informació relativa a successos esdevinguts en un moment i un lloc determinats i la memòria de referència: conté la informació recent i remota obtinguda a partir de les experiències prèvies. La història, en canvi, és una ciència, que té com a objectiu estudiar els successos del passat i per dir-ho així, la memòria col·lectiva. Per tant, història i memòria són conceptes complementaris; hardware i software, utilitzant una metàfora informàtica. La memòria històrica ens permet reavaluar els nostres records, visitar-los de nou i posar-los sota el prisma de l’actualitat. 

Les “Vanitas” en ceràmica de Rosa Amorós expliciten el que més defineix el nostre llegat físic, el crani, vestigi d’allò que vam ser i allò que pensem en vida. Els objectes també tenen records, com suggereix l’obra “Balls”, pilotes que algú, potser els artistes que Victoria Campillo suggereix i ficciona, van comprar, van fer servir i van abandonar finalment, a qualsevol racó, com a cadàvers insepults, d’un sol ús i oblidades. Tenen les seves vivències(sic), marques i ferides a la pell, que ens revelen qui les va trepitjar, fins a deixar-les inservibles.

La música historiada, degudament documentada per la seva pertinença a les Arts Majors, i als seus protagonistes històrics, aquells que van deixar la seva petjada en la història del flamenco, com Paco de Lucía, Peret o Carmen Amaya, apareix en els inoblidables retrats de Colita. Música i memòria. Els codis de la vestimenta vénen marcats per la memòria de les modes, dels oficis o dels costums ancestrals, com en Charles Fréger, que en la seva sèrie “Wilder Mann”, explora antigues litúrgies, en les que disfressant-se d’animal o de dimoni, s’intenta connectar amb unes arrels pretèrites i màgiques. Hi ha quelcom més pretèrit en la nostra memòria que el moment en què la raça humana es va dedicar a la ramaderia i a la transhumància. 

Les fotografies de Jordi Font Recasens, antropòleg d’una activitat de pasturatge, que hem desenvolupat des de l’origen dels temps. Ferran García Sevilla i la desmemòria. En la seva pintura construïda sense pintar, l’artista travessa maneres i significats sense aturar-se en cap d’aquests, fruit d’aquella voluntària desmemòria a la qual s’obliga a si mateix i d’aquella experimentació momentània amb trossos d’història i amb els sentits transformables de les coses, amb el fi de crear noves ficcions, nous flaixos, nous nuclis d’energia des d’on emetre alguna aproximació renovada cap al món (Teresa Blanch). 

D’una manera diferent, encara que coincident en allò desmitificador i també des de la pintura, Toni Molins recupera personatges històrics: Mahler, Rile o Rimbaud, per afegir una interpretació inesperada a allò que sabem o pensem d’ells. Santiago Sierra, que fa una revisió de la història en el present, per negar una versió oficial, tergiversada i creada per aquells que posseeixen un poder, sovint fosc i gairebé sempre tendenciós. Eulàlia Valldosera amb les seves ampolles treballa amb la memòria d’una manera catàrtica. Són envasos intervinguts - o pervertits- convertits en dispositius tàctils, visuals o sonors. Tot objecte amb el qual establim relació es transforma en un dispositiu que adquireix i arxiva la nostra memòria. Són perversos perquè la seva aparença exterior no ha canviat, però quan els toquem sentim les veus que ens relaten situacions. Són fragments d’entrevistes de persones que han viscut situacions d’humiliació.

“Casa particular” literally means “private house” but it started to be used to mean “private accommodation” in 1997, when the Cuban government allowed Cubans to rent out rooms in their houses or apartments to tourists, providing Cuban families with new sources of income.”

The downfall of the Soviet Union resulted in tremendous financial hardship for Cuba.  The subsidies they had been receiving (a large part of their budget) were literally cut to zero, thus adjustments for basic survival were needed to their economic strategies.  Part of the turn-around plan called for an increase in tourism.  To address the problem of limited hotels to accommodate the projected visitation, local folk were granted permission to obtain a license to transform rooms in their residence to rental units.  Thus, the casa particular boom was created.

  Tourist have been flocking to Cuba for years.  The notion of seeing 1950’s American cars troll the streets has its own fascination.  Then there are the iconic cigars or the rum or the music, just to name a few cultural distinctions.  For many Americans, the yearn to visit Cuba has been increasing each year.  However, for some, they are stuck on Fidel Castro and his regime and have disdain of ever visiting or “coming home.”  They view any suggestion on visiting the island as a compromise to their way of life.

The merits of the conflict are worth pursuing, if nothing more than to give you a better perspective but for those like me, it’s the real people who live everyday lives which are more important than political ideology.  So, out of respect many appreciate the feelings of those who hold unto the “anti-Castro” sentiment as the bigger picture is many of the 11 million people of Cuba have a thirst for you to visit their country.

  You can find casa particulars all over the country.  Some can be booked online through sites such as Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Expedia, etc.  At the same time, some do not wish to pay the fees associated with having their property listed so once you find their email address or phone number, communication is no problem.

  If you desire is to truly experience everyday Cuban life, you will find casa particular a great choice.  In addition to being a “guest” in somebody’s home, you will have an opportunity to engage with them including experiencing their culture through food.  One important note is even though you are using a portion of somebody’s home, your specific lodging usually has separate entry/exit and you are given a key.

  At the same time, if your personality is not the adventurous type or your idea of a visiting the Caribbean is to stay at a resort or you desire to be pampered or even consider yourself “high maintenance” you are better off paying a couple of hundred dollars each night at a local hotel where you will be among the throng of tourist.

  Most casa particulares range in price but $25 is a good standard.  Meals are available however the availability and price are something you negotiate with the owner.  Typically breakfast ranges from $3-$5 and dinner from $7-$12.

  One more point should you choose to stay in a casa particular – in communication with your guest please ask them if there are any small items (candy, aspirin, spices, headphones, thumb drives, etc.) you can bring to give them, as certain items are unavailable or difficult to obtain?   They will be eternally grateful.

  Your host can also assist (communicate upfront to establish expectations) with the following:

Taxi (to/from airport, to/from bus depot, etc.)

Interpreters

How to obtain internet cards

Cadeca’s to exchange money

Paladar or places to eat

  THE BOTTOM LINE BENEFIT OF STAYING IN A CASA PARTICULAR IS THE FEE YOU PAY PROVIDES A DIRECT POSITIVE IMPACT TO A LOCAL FAMILY, BENEFITTING THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

Here is a list of some casa particulars I have stayed:

  HAVANNA

Havana is approximately 12 miles from the airport.  Taxi fares average $25 but could go as high as $30 to $35 – Everything is negotiable so set your expectations upfront.

  Hostal K

Hostal K is operated by Katia De Llano Cuesta.  She is of German ancestry, born in CUBA and a very delightful person.  Professionally, she is a retired teacher and noted economist.

  The property is located in the Cerro community which features great access to Havana.  Located on Ayesteran between Carlos III and Maloja.  Stores, shops and bus stops are very close

  Casa Particular María del Carmen

Maria del Carmen and her husband Jose have taken this casa particular to a new level.  The property was owned by Maria’s Great-grandmother and you can see the pride of ownership the way they have maintained the legacy.  The rooms are well equipped and even feature a stocked refrigerator of water/beer (of course you pay for what you consume).  More important to help them operate the venue they have a full staff to help with cooking, cleaning and other maintenance issues.  Their property has wi-fi (you simply access via your Etesca card).

So you want to go to Cuba? Casa Particular – some of my favs "Casa particular" literally means "private house" but it started to be used to mean "private accommodation" in 1997, when the Cuban government allowed Cubans to rent out rooms in their houses or apartments to tourists, providing Cuban families with new sources of income."
