Strange words people say when leaving
I've been at parties or other gatherings, and, when it was time to leave, native speakers would come up with odd ways of saying "It's time to go."
One way would be:
Let's make like a bakery truck and haul buns.
Another was:
Let's blow this clambake.
I'm wondering if someone could explain why these phrases get used, and if there are any underlying puns or jokes that I may not be catching.
In short, why do these mean, "It's time to leave?"
Disclaimer: I already understand these expressions, but thought they would be interesting for the English language learner. (In fact, this question is based on an "actual problem I have faced": in the past, some non-native friends have asked me to explain these phrases; I found them easy for me to understand, but hard to explain in a way that a non-native speaker could fully appreciate their whimsicality. Non-natives, feel free to give this one a try – it might be a fun "practice question."

The origin of the saying, 'Let's blow this Popsicle stand,' is unknown, but there are several variants of "Let's blow this joint / clambake / [not very interesting place]". The "haul buns" one is just a jokey variant of "Let's shift our arses". They're all just ways to inject a note of humour, often because leaving may be seen as a negative reflection on the place/people you were with. So sometimes it's just highly-disguised "politeness". – FumbleFingers Reinstate Monica Mar 26 '14 at 0:47
In the UK a couple of favourites are "make like a tree and leave" and "make like a foetus and head out". – JMB Mar 26 '14 at 10:55
@JMB nice one! In Germany some people (jokingly) say "Saddle the chickens, we ride to Texas". – Avigrail Jan 28 '15 at 11:18
"Let's make like a bakery truck and haul buns" is jokingly said when one wants to leave a party. Our buns (buttocks) are compared to a bakery truck, that is, they are as heavy and big as a bakery truck which hauls (drags) heavily.
On the other hand a bakery truck also sells buns (small, sometimes sweet breads) having a shape that resembles to a curvy contour of a girls gluteus maximus muscles as seen from behind: "Margie's buns look nice and tight now that she's working out."
In other words buns sold by the bakery truck are compared to the slang word of ass, cheeks, buttocks. There is a pun which mixes our buns with the buns sold by a bakery truck.
As a result we can understand the pun this way: "let's move our asses out of here" or "let's get out of here".
"Let's blow this clambake" it's a very silly way to say "Let's get a move on", where blow is the slang word for " to go, leave, exit" or "leave this less than an interesting place".

But remember that buns are also something that are sold in a bakery truck! – nxx Mar 26 '14 at 23:07
I believe clambakes and popsicle stands euphemise the genetalia of those in attendance. If one's implicit intentions are predicated on (or precluded by) the presence of one sex or another, these phrases can indicate a desire to go somewhere with a better ratio. c.f. "Sausage Fest(ival)". – Tyler James Young Apr 1 '14 at 16:42
I'm watching a movie from 1939 called They Made Me a Criminal, where one of the characters says, "Let's blow!" It's possible that this usage predated versions that specified from whence to blow, viz "Let's blow this [whatever]." So "blow" might have been slang that pre-dated such terms as "book," "jet," "boogie," or possibly even "scram." "Twenty-three skidoo", however, is almost certainly older. The import is not so much that it's time to leave but rather that those who are "blowing" are too cool for school.

Welcome to the ELL :-). Your discussion on the period when one of the phrases might have originated is interesting, but doesn't seem to answer OP's question. Also, when referencing a film it would be interesting to provide the title, not just the year. Enjoy ELL experience! – Lucky Apr 23 '15 at 2:37
@Lucky - This is a different take on my question, and I think it adds to the discussion. I wouldn't say that it doesn't answer my question. (It may not answer my question fully, but it does provide useful information.) – J.R.♦ Apr 23 '15 at 9:04
@J.R. Then I apologize, it seems I got a bit overzealous. I agree that the information is interesting. I'm still curious about the title of the film, though :-) – Lucky Apr 23 '15 at 9:10
The movie was "They Made Me a Criminal." It's in the public domain and available at archive.org. – CWPost Apr 23 '15 at 12:43
The way I have come to understand these phrases:
Much in the way a bakery truck would "haul buns" (haul>pull>move) (buns>bread) from one location to another. A person would (haul>pull>move) their own (buns>butt(slang)) from one location to another.
To blow when talking in the context of leaving is talking about how the wind will "Blow" and/or move.
While the term clambake can be replaced with any descriptive word meaning the current location:
Let's blow this party.
Let's blow this pop stand (soda shop).
Let's blow this Popsicle stand.
Let's blow this joint (an establishment). <~~ this one can also be used as a drug reference
Let's blow this place.
Let's blow this bitch.
Let's blow this town.
in all instances it means to move (like the wind can blow) from your current location defined by the descriptive word you use.
the term clambake itself when used can mean different types of places also:
an outdoor social gathering at which clams and other seafood (and often chicken, potatoes, and sweet corn) are baked or steamed, traditionally in a pit, over heated stones and under a bed of seaweed.
or (informally)
a place where the crowd is mostly female (where a clam is referencing the female genitalia)
and lastly (again informally and mostly used in the north east america)
a small area where drugs are emitting a large amount of smoke causing the air to be mostly polluted with said smoke. Such as a group of people smoking in a car or a larger group of people smoking at a festival. (this term comes from the resemblance marijuana smoke has to the smoke emitted during the cooking process at the outdoor social gathering at which clams and other seafood steamed)
Legend has it that this term was first used in the 40's by a jamaican named Antoine Cleo. He believed that filling the area of a popsicle with deadly radiation, can be used against certain countries as biological warfare. He believed that the radiation had certain brainwashing chemicals inside of it and that placing the popsicles at stands at random areas could allow more people to buy the popsicles, thus was his plan for world domination. However, his plans were soon foiled when a strange cult called the Kindred Spirits blew up all the popsicle stands in North America killing the perpetrator, Antoine Cleo. "Lets blow this popsicle stand" was then started as an inside joke between 4 teenagers, then spread throughout the US. The phrase from then on meant;"Lets get out of here fast before something bad happens."
This seems highly dubious - are there any sources to support this: contemporary news articles, for instance? – jimsug Jun 1 '14 at 2:53
@jimsug - Actually, the interweb seems to have a few places that report this same story. (Whether or not it's true or an urban legend is another matter.) – J.R.♦ Jun 1 '14 at 8:58
@J.R. All of the results (and this answer) appear to be directly copied from the Urban Dictionary entry. – Miles Dec 4 '16 at 7:59

Arnie lends some muscle to the campaign against gerrymandering
He compares politicians in gerrymandered districts to overweight people who should "go to the fucking gym"
United StatesJul 22nd 2017 edition
SHORTLY after winning election as governor of California in 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger watched leaders from the state legislature stage a spittle-flecked, chair-toppling fight in his office. "I don't know if the drama was meant for me because I was new," he recalls in an interview, miming open-mouthed astonishment. A bigger shock came hours later. Two of the combatants, one a Republican, the other a Democrat, telephoned him from a bar. Sure, we fight about things in the daytime, the pair told the governor, a Republican who won as an action-man outsider in a Democratic state. But with night falling the party bosses wanted Mr Schwarzenegger to know their shared view of his proposal to have electoral districts drawn by an independent panel, rather than by politicians. A "horrible" idea that would cost incumbent members their seats, they growled. "Just kill this," he remembers hearing.
It took Mr Schwarzenegger and allies several attempts to outwit California's political establishment, but in 2008 and 2010 voters passed ballot propositions that handed the power to draw districts for the state legislature and for Congress to an independent body with no partisan majority, and including such folk as farmers and business-owners. In 2010 Californians also approved a "top-two primary" system, under which all voters—rather than party stalwarts—may pick candidates for state and federal districts, with the highest-scoring pair proceeding to the general election, even if they are from the same party. The explicit aim is to give candidates an incentive to woo broad coalitions that cross party lines, rather than merely fire up hard-core partisans.
Six years after leaving the governorship Mr Schwarzenegger could be forgiven for shunning politics. His offices in Santa Monica, a few blocks from the gym where he maintains his hewn-oak physique, would make a cosy retreat: there are film posters and body-building awards, framed photographs of him with Pope Francis and sundry presidents, works of art by Andy Warhol and others, and many movie props, including a life-sized crocodile beneath his pool table. He cut a lonely figure in the 2016 election, as an environmentally conscious, socially liberal, pro-immigration Republican. He backed Governor John Kasich of Ohio, the lone moderate in the Republican presidential primary. He has publicly chided President Donald Trump over climate change.
Instead of hiding, Mr Schwarzenegger is in the thick of a nationwide campaign against gerrymandering—when parties draw electoral districts to give their side an unfair advantage. The cause has momentum behind it. There are campaigns to put redistricting reform on the ballot in Michigan, Missouri and Ohio, and lawsuits are in progress from North Carolina to Maryland (where Democrats are accused of outrageous gerrymandering). Mr Schwarzenegger has committed to match donations to a fund that will help Common Cause, an open-government group, participate in a case at the Supreme Court challenging maps drawn by Wisconsin Republicans. The Wisconsin case will see reformers citing a new tool, the "efficiency gap", intended to give courts an objective way to spot gerrymandering. To simplify, the measure counts wasted votes cast for each party, in hopelessly hostile or inefficiently super-safe districts, and identifies states where one party receives many more such votes (as in Wisconsin).
Mr Schwarzenegger has recorded a short video explaining what he concedes is the "very dry" subject of gerrymandering. In it, the actor compares the respective popularity of Congress, cockroaches and herpes, while noting that "the former Soviet Politburo had more turnover" than pre-reform California, which between 2002 and 2010 held 265 congressional races, of which just one saw a seat change its party control. His arguments are reinforced by film clips in which he variously looks startled, resolute or blows things up. The video has been viewed 25m times.
Political professionals can be a bit sniffy about gerrymandering's importance as an explanation for government dysfunction. They note the way that Americans of like mind increasingly flock together, with the result that even when districts are drawn to respect county or community boundaries, Democrats will be packed into cities, while Republicans dominate rural areas. In states which have adopted non-partisan districting, such as California and Arizona, seats still rarely change hands.
The former Terminator can hold his own with wonkish sceptics. The Schwarzenegger Institute at the University of Southern California, founded to promote "post-partisanship", commissioned studies that found that after the 2012 election California's state legislators had more moderate voting records, while its candidates are unusually responsive to supporters of a rival party.
Time for a workout
Mr Schwarzenegger does not deny self-sorting effects: of course Californian districts become more liberal near the ocean, he says. But they are still home to some conservatives, just as some liberals live inland, and previously such voters were not counted. Strikingly, his main concern is not Democrats or Republicans "getting the shaft" in this or that state. His interest is in boosting political performance everywhere. Uncompetitive districts make legislators less effective, he says: to be precise, he compares politicians in gerrymandered seats to "overweight" people who should "go to the fucking gym". As a governor he saw ultra-safe legislators in thrall to activists who controlled their re-selection as candidates, long before they faced general elections. He became convinced that if districts held just 10-15% more voters from the opposing party, incumbents' calculations would change.
Gerrymandering is a 200-year-old "screw-up", notes Mr Schwarzenegger, and must be fixed patiently, state-by-state. He remembers when bodybuilders were thought stupid or narcissistic, or to be "suffering from some complex". Now hotels on every continent have gyms with weights. Make the right case for competition, fitness and performance, and minds can be changed.

- My name is Anders K. Møller, and I am doing a two-year MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Oxford.
- I am roughly £4,000 short from meeting the £17,700 cost of completing the second year of my master's degree.
- I have already raised over three-quarters of the money through two grants, savings, and a personal loan (my bank in Denmark rejected my loan application).
- If I don't reach my target, I will be suspended from the university.
I grew up in Denmark and Rwanda, and did my bachelor degree in Economics and Philosophy at The College of Wooster in Ohio. Amazingly, I was accepted to study for an MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Oxford, and I was able to finance my first year of tuition through grants, family help and three summer jobs. It was fantastic to be able to pay the first year in full since I have already accumulated about £16,000 in debt for my undergraduate degree, but unfortunately this year I am still unable to pay the full cost of tuition. This is partly due to the fact that I was doing fieldwork for my master's thesis during the summer which - besides costing money - made me unable to save up money from work. I was initially quite hesitant about crowdfunding for a variety of reasons, but after I was rejected for a commercial bank loan in Denmark (and I don't qualify for one in the UK) I don't have a whole lot of other options as I am already relying on personal loans from friends for almost half of what I've raised.
The MPhil in Development Studies at the Oxford Department of International Development is a holistic, interdisciplinary master's programme, and possibly the best of its kind. I have long been passionate about problems related to international development, and this programme has already expanded my intellectual horizons more than I could ever imagine. In addition to taking foundation courses in development theory, research methods, social anthropology and history/politics, I spent the summer in the Kingdom of Bhutan doing fieldwork for my master's thesis, which is about Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Bhutan and whether it has any linkages to sustainable development. I have developed as a person and a researcher, and I hope that my thesis can become a valuable addition to the academic literature out there. Moreover, I hope that my thesis will become a stepping stone to doing a Ph.D. in international development and eventually work in academia.
In addition to investing in someone who hopes to commit their life work to advancing research and interventions in development, I am making a "paying it forward pledge" (please see below) whereby all the money will (eventually) go onwards to fund someone else's educational needs.
... and I keep myself alive by working a second part-time job.
=> Short-fall of £3,900 + up to 3.5% transfer fees (total: £4,037).
- Since I maintain my room and board through two part-time jobs, all money raised goes directly towards paying tuition.
- If I raise extra funds, it will go towards paying back my personal loan so I will have a little less debt when I graduate.
- During my campaign, I will send out daily updates on my progress. If I meet my target, I will send out monthly updates (during term time) on how I am progressing with my course work and my master's thesis.
In addition to the awesome rewards listed on the right, I want to pay the good karma forward. Therefore, for every single £ received, I pledge to donate an equal amount to another person(s) education fundraiser once I am on a secure financial footing! This may take 5-10 years since I have to pay off quite a lot of debt, but I sincerely believe in extending the same help that I receive to someone else.
- If you have any question, you can contact me via. Email on akm1990@gmail.com, message me on Twitter or follow #MPhil2016 which I will use to post regular updates.

A personal acknowledgment in my master's thesis!
A personal acknowledgement in my thesis, and I will proofread/edit a piece of work for you (up to 3,000 words)!

Welch Allyn restructures business, cuts 10% of workforce
Welch Allyn, a global provider of frontline medical products and solutions based in Skaneateles Falls, N.Y., will reshape its business and realign resources over the next three years.
The company will establish three distinct new product development and technology centers in Skaneateles Falls, N.Y.; Beaverton, Ore.; and Singapore. It will also create a global finance shared service center in Tijuana and consolidate its North American manufacturing and related support functions at its largest facilities in Skaneateles Falls and Tijuana.
Welch Allyn said these actions will proactively prepare the company to address the new U.S. medical device tax scheduled to begin in 2013 as mandated in the Affordable Care Act, as well as other significant changes driven by healthcare reform and market dynamics. The company will also perform a 90-day evaluation of its European operations to determine the optimal deployment of the business in that important market, and reorganize its Latin America business to be more competitive in the region.
"We firmly believe this restructuring program is the right thing to do for the long-term success of the business. However, we also fully recognize the hardship it will cause some of our colleagues in the short term," said Steve Meyer, president and CEO of Welch Allyn.
The company expects to reduce an estimated 10% of its current workforce over the next three years through the restructuring. This will be accomplished via a combination of voluntary and involuntary separations. Welch Allyn currently has a total of 2,750 employees globally. In addition to offering every affected employee a separation package, including outplacement assistance, Welch Allyn will provide a continuing education assistance benefit for employees affected by the involuntary reductions.
"Welch Allyn recognizes the value of an educated workforce to our community and our economy," said Meyer. "The company will reimburse up to $4,000 of the cost of education for the successful completion of coursework through an accredited institution of higher learning and/or for the successful achievement of a professional certification designation offered by a recognized organization. We will make this benefit available to these employees for up to 12 months post-departure."
Meyer also said Welch Allyn's global headquarters in Skaneateles Falls will continue its evolution into a high technology center, capitalizing on demand for the company's digitally-enabled patient vital signs monitoring systems and diagnostic cardiology product offerings, in addition to its traditional core opto-electronic product categories. In doing so, the facility will absorb the patient monitoring, systems and low acuity vital signs product manufacturing operations from its Beaverton facility, while the company's Tijuana operations will absorb additional thermometer probe cover, lamp and some blood pressure cuff manufacturing operations from Skaneateles Falls.
"Our plan is well thought out and tied to the rapidly changing healthcare market, and in keeping with our history of making sure we treat our employees fairly and with the highest level of respect. We are confident we will emerge from this restructuring stronger than ever," said Meyer.

Hands On Healing is on the cutting edge of treating fascial conditions. We're located in Montgomery, Alabama.
In the biggest hurdle we as therapists face when talking to our clients, or the open public for that matter, is a very large amount of outdated information about the human body.
Topics range from whether to treat with heat or ice and what is the best exercise for a specific goal, and the answers change from person to person depending on the circumstances.
However, no topic is more misunderstood and excessively outdated as the topic of connective tissue, or more the widely used term, fascia.
The topic of fascia is no small subject by any means.
Entire books are written about this unique bodily tissue, and each year more research is being conducted at universities trying to grasp the full function of fascial tissue.
Our goal in this article is to provide a general introduction to what fascia is and what it does for the body as well as to the body.
It's not hard to imagine that most people would find the task of grasping the full picture of human anatomy as quite daunting; it's simply a LOT of information to take in.
For us as therapists, fascia offers a simplified method for seeing the body as a whole unit.
As a tissue, fascia covers, connects, and holds together every single inch of your body. Yes, every single bit.
It covers your bones, your muscles, and your organs. Even your nerves and brain are all held together through the intricate network we call fascia.
Figure 1 (click to enlarge) is a photograph from a cadaver dissection showing how strands of fascia form an almost cobweb-like structure between layers of muscle tissue.
Although the most widely accepted function of fascia is to provide tensile strength to other tissues it surrounds, generally holding us together from the inside, it has been shown in recent studies to be essential to proper movement by separating and defining muscular function.
It's also the tissue our body uses when forming scars, which means without fascia we would never properly heal.
Like anything else in the body, there is a catch to how fascia performs its tasks as it has no direct nerve connection to the brain.
Just as fascia can be remodeled by specialized cells for the formation of scars, it can also become restrictive when subjected to poorly learned movement habits.
These restrictions inevitably lead to the problems of pain and dysfunction for which clients seek treatment.
In future articles we'll discuss how fascia may be the missing link in your health routine.
What causes fascia to tighten and lead to structural imbalance and dysfunction?
Unlike most tissues and organs of the human body, fascia does not share the same form of nerve connection to the brain.
Instead, fascia changes almost all of its physical properties through chemical reactions to hormones that are delivered through the bloodstream.
Let's take a more in-depth look at this cellular change and the many of the implications that fascial restriction holds for someone's health.
The reason we work so diligently to make this point clear is that treating muscle conditions requires very different therapy than treating fascial conditions; this is why so many people who come through our doors looking for help have often been through a myriad of health professionals before they get to us.
Many available therapy methods have not caught on to this way of thinking just yet because medical textbooks are, sad to say, way out of date.
What most individuals are taught is that muscle tissue comprises the motor units of our bodies, and fascia was always believed to be a ground substance for forming scars through the body's healing process.
Researchers have recently discovered that certain immunohistochemical (hormone) reactions cause fascia to contract independent of muscles (see Figure 2 below).
In some cases fascia had been reported to produce as much as 1500 lbf/in²; that's a lot of force!
However, fascia only responds to hormones and not to direct nerve signals. Once fascia has become restrictive it can cut off its own blood supply.
This means that the hormones necessary to release fascia's restrictive state cannot reach the cells in the tissue, leaving the body unchanged and tight for very long periods of time.
This discovery has changed the perception of how the body is capable of forming restrictions, as well as altering the entire human frame.
Much of this is why so many traditional therapies have been so ineffective at treating these types of problems.
The therapy that we specialize in here at Hands On Healing is on the cutting edge of treating fascial conditions.
It may very well be the missing link for individuals that have searched far and wide for something to give them relief from their chronic pain.
Using manual manipulation, therapists can improve the blood supply to the tissue by selectively elongating areas of restriction.
The body becomes flexible, movement becomes easier, pain will begin to diminish, and you can begin to experience a better quality of life.
Figure 2 (click to enlarge) is a representation of the new research that has been compiled about the cellular reaction that fascia undergoes when exposed to specific hormones.
Resident fibroblasts are exposed to mechanical tension, e.g., injury or stress, causing the tissue to begin binding to its surrounding structures.
As the brain begins to release hormones to initiate healing in response to the aforementioned trauma, the fibroblasts react with a cellular contraction, ensnaring all the structures they've attached to, creating a restriction at the site of the injury.

With their twelfth album, the veteran alt-country duo of Brian Kelley and Karen Bergquist (who sings most of the time) have sprawled out and created a lovely, slow-burning ode to the Southern Ohio landscape they recorded in. These songs unfold lushly, usher in an early evening, and wrap you up in a warm and soothing Americana blanket for the night. I'm partial to the slower, darker, more textured songs here.

Correction: NOAA Fisheries Announces Final Blueline Tilefish Amendment to the Golden Tilefish Fishery Management Plan
Correction: Date corrected in bold below.
NOAA Fisheries announces that we are implementing regulations for Amendment 6 to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council's Tilefish Fishery Management Plan. This action sets commercial and recreational management measures for the blueline tilefish fishery in the Mid-Atlantic. Blueline tilefish (Caulolatilus microps) is also known as grey tilefish.
This rule goes into effect on December 15, 2017.
Blueline tilefish have been managed for many years under the South Atlantic Council's Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan, whose measures only apply south of the Virginia/North Carolina border. The fishery in the Mid-Atlantic was considered very small and remained unregulated until recently.
Recreational and commercial blueline tilefish catch has been increasing steadily in the Greater Atlantic Region (Virginia to Maine) since 2011. In 2014, commercial landings increased more than 20-fold from the previous several years' average. This rapid increase in unregulated harvest represented a risk to the long-term sustainability of the stock, and triggered the Mid-Atlantic Council to request emergency management measures in 2015. Interim management measures took effect in June 2016, while the Council developed this proposed amendment.
Amendment 6 to the Tilefish Fishery Management Plan manages the federal waters blueline tilefish fishery north of the Virginia/North Carolina border, as part of the Tilefish Fishery Management Plan. The rule requires fishermen to hold a valid Greater Atlantic Region open access tilefish commercial or charter/party permit to ensure adequate reporting and monitoring of blueline tilefish fishing activity.
Through this action, we are implementing a commercial possession limit of 300 pounds per trip.
The recreational season will run from May 1-October 31, and will close as of December 15, 2017, when this rule becomes effective. When the fishery re-opens in May, recreational fishermen will have limits of:
7 fish per person on Coast Guard inspected for-hire vessels (party boats)
5 fish per person on uninspected for-hire vessels (charter boats), and
3 fish per person on private recreational vessels.
Amendment 6 also calls for new permitting and reporting requirements for private recreational vessels. These measures are not being implemented at this time. Because they require additional development and outreach, they will be implemented later through a separate rule, and will not be in effect for the 2018 fishing season that starts on May 1, 2018.
More information is available in the final rule as filed in the Federal Register notice today, and in the permit holder bulletin on our website.

Manifesta 12: The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence
16 Jun 2018 - 04 Nov 2018
This year Manifesta 12 travels to the Italian city of Palermo. The latest installment of the world's only nomadic biennial of contemporary art and culture, is taking place in Palermo from 16 June 2018 until 4 November 2018.
Selected by the Manifesta team, Palermo was chosen for its representation of two important themes that have come to shape contemporary Europe: migration and climate changes, and how these issues impact our cities.
Manifesta 12's main ambition is to work in a truly interdisciplinary way with local communities in order to rethink the basic architectural, urban, economic, social and cultural structures of the city. The city will play host to a number of exhibitions, performances, multi-media experiments, talks and workshops. There will also be a pre-biennial program which will develop a theoretical framework for the biennial and will set out the parameters of the city's revitalisation process.
Titled "The Planetary Garden. Cultivating Coexistence", the concept explores coexistence in a world moved by invisible networks, transnational private interests, algorithmic intelligence and ever – increasing inequalities through the unique lens of Palermo – a crossroads of three continents in the heart of the Mediterranean. Closely collaborating with Palermitan partners, Manifesta 12 will co-inhabit Palermo as a laboratory to investigate the challenges of our time and look for traces of possible futures.
Throughout history, the city of Palermo has been a laboratory for diversity and crosspollination. Continuous migration – from the Ancient Greeks, the Arabs and the Normans to the recent arrival from Northern Africa, South East Asia and the Middle East – has constantly redefined the city and its people. Palermo's streets, architecture, parks, cultural legacy and personal histories are the result of a long-lasting syncretism of cultures across the Mediterranean and beyond.
In the 1875 painting View of Palermo by Francesco Lojacono – in the collection of the GAM Museum in Palermo – nothing is indigenous. Olive trees came from Asia, aspen from the Middle East, eucalyptus from Australia, prickly pear from Mexico, loquat from Japan. Citrus trees – a symbol of Sicily – were introduced under Arab sovereignty. The botanical garden of Palermo, Orto Botanico, was founded in 1789 as a laboratory to nurture, study, test, mix and gather diverse species. Palermo's Orto Botanico inspired Manifesta 12 to look at the idea of the "garden", exploring its capacity to aggregate difference and to compose life out of movement and migration.
Palermo's position at the crossroads of three continents makes it an ideal location for Manifesta 12 to investigate some of the key changes of our time. But it is also a place where the current model of globalisation is contested with new perspectives on civic engagement.
Collaborating closely with Palermitan partners, Manifesta 12 will co-inhabit Palermo as a laboratory for the challenges of our time, looking for traces of possible futures. In the context of globalisation, Manifesta 12 chooses to be radically local in engaging with the city in all of its diverse components.
The Planetary Garden will host 4 main sections, each touching on key topics of the concept:
• Garden of Flows will explore toxicity, plant life and the culture of gardening in relation to the transnational commons in Orto Botanico.
• Out of Control Room will investigate power in today's regime of global flows. The location of this section will be released in the coming months.
• City on Stage will build on existing opportunities in the centre and the outskirts of Palermo to further develop the existing plans that are stuck somehow and have not been fully realised. Productive collaborations can act as a catalyst and possibly extend into future and long-term initiatives in Palermo.
• Teatro Garibaldi hosts a library, café and program of public events, including debates, workshops and film screenings (presentation of films shot in Palermo with introduction and/or Q&A).
One of the key characteristics of "The Planetary Garden" concept and Manifesta 12 at large is an interdisciplinary approach. Manifesta 12 is the first edition to include not only traditional art curators, but an interdisciplinary group of specialists in the curatorial team. Bregtje van der Haak is a renowned Dutch journalist and filmmaker; Andrés Jaque is a Spanish architect, founder of the Office for Political Innovation and professor at Columbia University; Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli is a Sicilian-born architect and partner at OMA/AMO, and Mirjam Varadinis is a Swiss contemporary art curator at Kunsthaus Zurich. This curatorial model was necessary to understand how to decode Palermo in all its complexities and amplify the already existing energy of the city in experimental ways. Each of the Manifesta 12 Creative Mediators have used their respective expertise and background to contribute to the biennial programme. This will be evident through the diversity of projects in Manifesta 12 that will extend beyond contemporary art into architecture, public space, science, geography, agronomy, literature, food, cinema, anthropology, social design, storytelling and more. Further details on the Manifesta 12 participants and projects will be unveiled as the biennial approaches its opening.

Last December 8, 2017, me and my mom decided to have a vacation in the Philippines. Singapore Airlines has a ticket promo that cost 590€ from Barcelona Spain to Manila Philippines. Dates got adjusted based on my availability. It was a total of 40 days in the Philippines. But while booking the ticket in Spain Travel Corporation S.A., we got an offer of Free City Tour in Singapore. It was because we had an almost 6 hours layover period in the Singapore Changi Airport.
Singapore Changi Airport is know as one of the best airport in the world. There are a lot of faculties and services inside the said airport. They have in total of 4 Terminals.
In Terminal 1, they have Kinetic Rain, Cactus Garden, even a Swimming pool with Jacuzzi, Water Lily Garden and many more.
There are also a lot to offer in Terminal 2 such as Orchid Garden, Sunflower Garden, Enchanted Garden, Entertainment Deck and much more.
Also, in Terminal 3 they have Movie Theatre, Koi Pond, Buttefly Garden, The Slide @T3, etc.
Lastly, in Terminal 4 they have Peranakan Love Story, Steel in Bloom, Entertainment Corner, Heritage Zone, and much more.
Singapore Changi Airport is indeed one of the best! They have a lot to offer. So long time layover is not a problem anymore.
In Singapore Airlines, there are two type of tour that they offer: Heritage Tour and City Sights Tour. The agency will make you choose which one would you like to take and also it will depends on the time of your arrival and departure in Singapore.
You can also register 1 hour before the tour if your layover is 5.5 hours or more. Each tour is 2.5 hours long and conducted in English.
The free tour in Singapore is offered to those travellers who are transiting in Changi Airport. Take note that it is only available for those passengers who have at least 5.5hours layover or more in the said airport and less than 24 hours. You flight schedules should also be fitted in their tour timing requirements.
You should register first. Agencies can register you directly but if you do not go with any travel agency, you can register 1 hour before the tour.
You also need to have your passport, boarding passes and also a visa if it is applicable to be able to register in the said tour. So better check and do some research of you are able to get out of immagration or you will be needing a visa.
If you have cabin baggage, you are required to leave them in Left Baggage. When you arrive in the meeting area, stuff will also assist you regarding all your concerns.
You should register 1 hour before the tour starts. It also means that you need to be in the Registration booths before 1 hour even if you already booked it online. You will be guided as a group to clear the immigrations before the tour starts.
Available seats in the bus is a first-come-first serve basis. You are only allowed to enter and exit the Singapore once during the layover period.
A great way to discover Singapore also wringing the eye to savings!
This airport sounds amazing. I would love to swim while waiting for my plane in a long layover.
This is the second time I am seeing Singapore and it must be a sign. I need to visit it soon.
This is my kind of tour. I've been wanting to visit Singapore. I hope I can get there one day.
Wow this sounds like the most amazing tour of Singapore and for free! Hands up I would definitely look to check in to it myself if I was there.
I recently visited Singapore, but I must admit - I didn't know about this free tour. I will definitely keep this in mind for next time!
Wow. What a great experience. They sure do offer a lot of fun things for guests. I've never been to Singapore, but it sounds like a great destination.
I would love to go to Singapore one day. It looks and sounds like a great place to visit.
Thanks for the tips as it is traveling is expensive so finding "free" activities it is a great perk!
Singapore is already in our bucket list from long time and this is the third time we saw blog on Singapore and I must say we are going soon. Hope we also get coupons :) to enjoy our trip to fullest.
I know that different airlines are offering free city tours when you have a long layover, which I think is a great idea! It's so much better to visit the city than spend time getting bored inside the airport.
How cool is it that you could take a free tour during a layover? Hopefully, I will be able to travel to that airport someday to check out all the entertainment and the amenities.
I have been o singapore as one of my cousins live there. However, it is so great about a free travel because the experience all over is incredible.
That is a great idea and a delightful time for a long layover.
My mom went to Singapore almost 10 years ago on a Mission's Trip and she had an amazing time. I would love to travel to Asia!
Sounds like a great deal! Free tour during layover is just the best.
Having a free tour on a long layover would be so cool~ It is a nice feature for the town to offer.
That sounds really cool! It would definitely more fun to explore the city during layover instead of waiting at the airport. I should remember this on my next trip!
Singapore is very beautiful and has always been on my bucketlist. Cheers to those getting th free Singapore tour!
Oh wow that was some great customer service to offer a free tour during the layover. It is most definitely a fun (and free) way to see a city!
A free tour...wow. Such a great way to discover Singapore during a layover.
One time I have connection in Singapore , since there is not much time during layover I couldn't take the tour.
I think it would be an amazing experience to be able to go on the free tour. I have heard some incredible things about Singapore. I didn't know they had anything like this.
Wow. Free Singapore tour is nice! I would love to tour Singapore too.
Changi Airport is another place I always want to have a tour whenever I visit Singapore. They also host many exhibits and attractions for free!
This sounds really cool! Singapore has been on my wish list for years. I will remember your tips.
