“We have to get to know each other better…

… it makes us understand one another better,

trust each other more, and live together more peacefully!”

These are the lines that support the initiative of Unicef on a campaing called United Buddy Bears. There are around 160 bears,  2 meters tall, designed by different artists representing their native countries. The exhibition  travels the world raising funds to help aiming kids.

SinK has had the pleasure to see those cute bears in Buenos Aires, in Plaza San Martín. If you can not reach the big ones, you can buy your own miniature collection on the website.

Feliç Sant Jordi! April 23, 2009

Today , 23rd April, Catalunya celebrates its very own “Valentine’s Day”, the Sant Jordi day. It’s when men give women a rose, and girls give boys a book… and the streets are taken over with flowers and papers and smiles and kisses. The flower, however, is not given only to one’s partner: it’s to any women he admires. It’s a huge celebration and the meaning could not be less delicate. We pay our homage to Barcelona, the Catalan capital city, a place which holds a very particular culture, that we learned to respect, celebrate and admire. Wanna know Sant Jordi’s legend and the reason why they exchange books and roses? Click HERE and check the “tutorial” made by our cool Catalan amic, Marc Muntanyola. These images are from last year’s Sant Jordi.
