  • Matsue Castle (松江城 Matsue-jō) is a feudal castle in Matsue in Shimane prefecture, Japan. Nicknamed the "black castle" or "plover castle", it is one of the few remaining medieval castles in Japan – at least of the few remaining in their original wooden form, and not a modern reconstruction in concrete.<br />
<br />
The construction of Matsue Castle began in 1607 and finished in 1611, under the local lord Horio Yoshiharu. In 1638, the fief and castle passed to the Matsudaira clan, a junior branch of the ruling Tokugawa clan.

  • Fade is from Nabk city in Syria. He is travelling together with his sister, his wife and their two children. He used to work as an engineer for mobile phone antennas and they were wealthy with 3 houses and two cars. He saw a lot of injustice in his city with people who complained being arrested and 1/3 of the city flattened during 4 years of war. Together with many volunteers, he used to cook and offer food to about 15000 people in his city. Eventually he decided to leave Syria with his family. He brought with him as much money as he could but most of the money in his account was blocked by the Syrian government. They traveled for about 3,5 years via Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey till one and a half month ago when they arrived in Mytilene island. They occupy a small house at the camp which he organised almost as a permanent residence by creating a watering system and by planting vegetables and fruit. He believes that it is important to create a place where the “brother” who will move in after he and his family leaves can also live comfortably. He is one of the very few people who are considering to stay in Greece because he likes the people. He believes that a person with skills can survive anywhere. He will try to do this in Crete island where he has friends. He hopes to return to Syria after the war ends. <br />
Refugees at the camp called PIKPA outside Mytilene city, that is one of the best organised. It is run but a group of volunteers under the name “The Village of Everyone Together”. People there are both from Syria and Afghanistan.

  • Tarik Aljadoue (34) and his wife Samar Jamal (27) at the space that NGO Aggalia has organised as a temporary stop for refugees in Kaloni village, as they are on their way to Mytilene city. A local person drove them there the night before. The couple is from Alepo in Syria where Tarik was working as an IT engineer for a French owned oil company until they closed down their business there in 2011. Since 2011 he moved to Kafarhamra north of Alepo, as his house in Alepo was in a dangerous area. He got married to Samar one year ago and they were waiting to see what will happen to their country. 6 months ago internet was cut so it was difficult to learn any news of what was really happening. Local TV was only broadcasting propaganda from different armies. On Friday one week ago, they decided to find a safe country to have their children and leave Syria where they saw no work and no future as they could not see the end of this war. They want to try to reach Germany or any other European country where they can find work. <br />
Their trip started from Alepo to Tartus by bus, then on an other bus to a port from where they boarded a ship for one and a half day to Toshojo port (Tasucu port?) in Turkey near Mersin. From there they took a bus for 13 hours to Izmir but before they arrive they heard that there were police checks in Izmir and as soon as they arrived, they boarded an other bus for 9 hour to Istanbul. There they stayed for two days until the smugglers told them that they could start their trip to Greece. They payed 1250 USD each and after two days, at 8 am, they met the smugglers at a metro station, they boarded a bus with 60 people and no AC and they traveled to a location near Izmir. The trip lasted for 7 hours and it was unbearably hot. When they got off the bus somewhere near the sea, they were told to switch off their mobile phones and walk for one hour until they reached the sea. There there were three dinghy boats with engines and 33 to 40 people would board on each

  • Rahmatullah (24, on the left) is travelling together with his middle brother Aziz (21, on the right). He is fluent in English as he used to work as a translator for the American army. He left Afghanistan once and lived in the US for two years until he was asked to leave the country because of a fight he had had with a US solder in Afghanistan. He said that what happened was that he stopped the US solder when he entered a house and tried to rape a young Afghani mother. He had to return to Afghanistan. He stayed there for two years but he often received threats because Afghanis saw him as someone who had collaborated with the “infidel”. Six months ago they attacked and injured his younger brother with a hand-grenade, mistaking him for Rahmatullah. He and his brother Aziz left Afghanistan 45 days ago and crossed to Greece via Turkey. Their final destination is Denmark where they already have members of their family living there. <br />

The inner part is well organised with buildings and police guarding it, and the outer part where mainly Afghan refugees live in tents and is purely guarded with chaotic situations, mainly during food distribution, frequently occur.

  • The house of one of the greatest masters of Chen style Tai Chi Quan, Chen Chang Xing (1771-1853), the 14th generation standard bearer of the art, has been transformed to a museum. There the statues of Chen Chang Xing and Yang Lu Chan tell an old story. "Taiji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan), or the system of taiji martial arts, has its origins in the Village, dating to Chen Wan Ting (1600-1680), a patriarch caught at the turn of the dynastic change in the 17th century. In the old days, the art was well guarded and not taught outside the Village, nor to anyone who was not of the Chen stock from the Village. In the early 1800's, a Chen Village native, Chen Dehu who owned the Taihetang Drugstore in Yongnian, returned home with his family to retire. A young man, Yang Lu Chan (1799-1872), who was working for the family, was brought along as he was well-liked. There are many versions of how this young man, an outsider, managed to break through the clan barrier to learn the art, and become a disciple of Chen Chang Xing (1771-1853), the 14th generation standard bearer of the art. Whichever the case, Yang proved to be of exceptional talents. He mastered the art and took it outside the village. Chenjiagou
