EU-India Bilateral Remittances
Authors Chinmay TUMBE
A hundred years ago, during colonial times, more than a hundred thousand migrants from Britain and Ireland worked in India, mostly as soldiers and administrators. In contrast, only around 4,000 Indians lived in Britain: 1,000 students and 2,500 persons working in navigation related activities. As a result, European countries were net recipients of migrants' remittances from India. A century later, nearly a million emigrants from India live in the countries of the European Union (EU) and less than 10,000 EU expatriates work in India, making India a net recipient of migrants' remittances from the EU. Considering the significantly large Indian emigrant base in the EU, few questions that emerge are: How much money flows from the EU to India by way of migrants' remittances? What part of emigrant capital flows are sourced from the EU? And what are the country shares of these remittance flows? This paper attempts to address these questions basing its analysis on data compiled from numerous reports published by the Reserve Bank of India over the last three decades.
India-EU migration : a relationship with untapped potential
Authors Philippe FARGUES, Kathryn LUM
The rise of India as an increasingly important economic and strategic partner brings a range of potential benefits to the European Union. However, while the EU is currently negotiating a Free Trade Agreement with India that will potentially open up India´s burgeoning market, many of its Member States are ´missing the boat´ when it comes to exploiting the full potential of Indian migration to the EU. Indian migration to Europe has a long history: a number of EU member states have historical colonial links with India, including Portugal, France, the Netherlands and the UK. These early Indian migrants settled successfully into their respective countries, and many have played leading roles in contributing to EU national economies. The current migration situation is much more complex, in large part because India is still not viewed as an important migration source country. Yet, as this report highlights, India constitutes the fourth largest country of origin for migration to the EU. The Indian student market is the second largest in the world after China´s, and represents great potential for European universities seeking to internationalise their student intake. Highly skilled workers from India, particularly from the IT industry, have made Indian nationals the largest recipient of highly skilled visas in Germany and the Netherlands. Among low-skilled workers, there are also success stories to be told. Contrary to the common migration myth that low-skilled workers are not needed, and even worse, steal jobs from native citizens, this report shows how low-skilled workers from India have successfully integrated into local economies without threatening local jobs. Finally, this report on Indian migration to the EU provides a roadmap for future strategic directions for the India-EU relationship. Given the growing importance of EU-India relations, it is vital that migration issues are also on the table. With political will, finding migration solutions that satisfy both India and the EU can hopefully be negotiated over the next five years.

Investment and Migration Linkages between India and the EU
Authors Deeparghya MUKHERJEE, Rupa CHANDA
India has had long-standing investment ties with various EU countries. Many EU countries are significant investors in India and several EU-based MNCs have business operations in India. Of late, Indian investments in the EU have also gained importance. Leading Indian IT companies have established local presence through branches and subsidiaries in several EU countries. Alongside the growing business relations between India and the EU, there is increased short-term and circular mobility of persons between India and the EU, in large part to support business operations in each other's markets. This paper examines the linkages between investment and associated labour mobility between India and the EU. Following the introduction, Section 2 provides a brief literature review of labour mobility and investment relations and their effects on developed and developing nations. Section 3 offers an overview of growing investment relations between India and the EU and accompanying labour flows between India and the EU to underscore the need for studying this linkage. Section 4 discusses immigration and labour market regulations which have a bearing on investment operations and vice versa, for selected EU countries in order to highlight the extent to which regulations on one impinge on the other. It also examines the Schengen treaty and the implications of recent developments such as the EU Blue Card and totalisation agreements (signed or under negotiation) between India and some EU countries for investment-related labour mobility from India to the EU. Section 5 provides the findings from in-depth interviews conducted with senior industry executives from leading EU as well as Indian firms to understand the nature of the labour flows which accompany investment operations. It also examines the extent to which investment and labour flows in the India-EU context are complementary and how barriers to labour mobility may affect investment operations in each other's market. The discussion in this section indicates that there is considerable short-term mobility of Indian business visitors, intracorporate transferees, and professionals working from Indian subsidiaries of European firms to the EU countries. There is also movement of skilled Indians working in Indian firms in India, to their EU-based subsidiaries. In both cases, movement from India to the EU is mainly driven by the need to address skill shortages in the EU countries and to facilitate the migration and offshoring of client processes to India. The evidence indicates that investment presence in the EU facilitates mobility from India to the EU, although there are considerable differences in labour market and investment regulations across the different EU member countries. Section 6 examines the nature of movement by EU nationals to Indian subsidiaries of EU MNCs and the associated Indian immigration policies affecting such movement. The discussion indicates that such movement is very limited at present, mostly pertaining to business meetings and training sessions and the problems encountered mostly pertain to issues of transparency, poor institutional mechanisms and delays. Section 7 concludes by noting the main issues concerning labour mobility that would need to be addressed to promote India-EU investment relations.

Movement of IT professionals between India and the EU : issues and the way forward
Authors Divya SATIJA, Arpita MUKHERJEE
India and the European Union (EU) are major exporters of information technology (IT) and Itenabled services (ITeS) and both have high domestic demand for such services.The paper found that movement of professionals has benefitted both Indian and EU companies and, in future, bilateral trade in the IT/ITeS sector and labour mobility is likely to increase. However, there are a number of barriers affecting movement of professionals in this sector. The paper suggests that while some of these can be addressed through domestic reforms in India and the EU, others can be addressed under the on-going India-EU Broadbased Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA) and through inter-governmental cooperation between India and EU member states.

Mapping India-EU tourism flows
Authors Sasidaran GOPALAN
India and the EU have expanded their bilateral economic and investment ties significantly in the last decade or so. As a result of closer ties, the EU has emerged as a very important destination for various types of cross-border flows from India. In addition to the growing movement of professionals and students, there has also been a marked rise in cross-border flows of tourists between India and the EU. Given the economic and strategic significance of promoting tourism flows for fostering bilateral relations, this paper attempts to map the tourism flows between India and a selected few EU countries and also examine their relative significance as destinations or sources. The paper also draws some possible inferences about tourism's role in facilitating irregular migration.

EU-India migration and trade linkages
This paper reviews the relationship between migration and trade between India and the European Union (EU). It provides an overview of EU-India trade across various dimensions and links it with migration in three specific contexts: (a) The $ 14 billion EU-India diamond trade that represents nearly 15% of total EU-India merchandise trade, and that is attributed to the direct and active role played by Indian immigrants and the diaspora (b) The trade in food products such as lentils, beans, rice and spices that reflects the pull of goods towards the EU to meet the preferences of the Indian immigrants and (c) The trade in services in the computer & information, education and entertainment sectors and the mobility of professionals, students and tourists respectively.

India-EU Engagement and International Migration: Challenges and policy imperatives
Authors Basant Kumar POTNURU, Sam VISHISHTA
In the absence of a multilateral framework and a rule based global structure for the governance of international migration of people in all its complexities, countries engage in bilateral or regional cooperation in an attempt to engage and harmonize international movements and strive for a win-win situation. India and the EU are major trading partners and are engaged in a strategic Joint Action Plan with annual summit level talks; both sides are on the cusp of a new beginning through the soon to be concluded Free Trade Agreement (FTA). India-EU engagements, while underlining the importance of engagement on movement of people, have not clearly spelt out, as of yet, any roadmap for facilitation and enhancement of movement of people between the regions. The current paper examines if, and how, the bilateral relationship or engagement between India and the EU over the years has influenced international migration flows between the two sides and what potential challenges and policy options they face for a successful engagement and facilitation of movement of people. The paper suggests that given India's strategic position as a major country of origin for skilled and semi-skilled migrant workers, coupled with foreseeable requirements in the EU domestic markets. There is need for a closer examination of policy initiatives to embrace bilateral flows and make the exercise beneficial for both partners. The International migration flows between India and Europe in the past had always depended on the quality and strength of engagement between the countries and regions. Currently, the EU however has a low profile in India in terms of its ability to attract the best of the talent compared to competitors such as the US and Canada. Therefore, the main challenge is to enhance the EU's presence in India through greater participation, outreach and building of networks among academia, think tanks and the media. Student mobility need to be increased in all important sectors such as IT, healthcare, science and technology, research and development so as to help create advocacy groups and to enable a greater synergy of talent between India and the EU and enhance future cooperation, partnership and development. Easing of immigration policies for selective sectors of employment and education which are of strategic concern is also important. This will require measures for mutual recognition of degrees and skills, and a minimal window for long-term immigration and integration of third country migrant professionals and workers.

Goans in Portugal: Role of history and identity in shaping diaspora linkages
Authors Rupa CHANDA, Sriparna GHOSH
The Portuguese colonial era in India began in 1502 and ended in 1961 with the annexation of Goa by India. This long standing colonial relationship led to a deep-rooted historical, cultural and social relationship between Goa and Portugal. Migration from Goa to Portugal, over different periods, played an important part in forging this relationship. This paper examines the history of migration from Goa to Portugal, the characteristics of the Goan community in Portugal, and its engagement with Goa and with India, based on secondary and primary sources of information. Section 2 discusses the different waves of migration from Goa to Portugal. It finds that Goans migrated to Portugal during the colonial period in search of education, then following the annexation of Goa by India in 1961, and subsequently during the 1970s when Goans "twice migrated" to Portugal from Mozambique and Angola following their independence. In recent decades, Goans have been migrating to Portugal to seek access to the larger European market. Today, there is a sizeable Goan community residing in Portugal. Sections 3 and 4 explore the question of identity as perceived by this community in Portugal. The findings indicate that history, the causal factors underlying migration, and the heterogeneity within the community in terms of background, economic and social status have a major influence on the notion of identity. One section of the community does not consider itself as a diaspora group or as expatriates or migrants as it sees itself as fully integrated with Portuguese society. Their connection is with Goa, not with India. Another section of the community views itself as belonging to India and also Goa, realizing that they have a distinct identity within Portugal. For the twice migrated, the issue of identity is even more complex as they identify with a third country and many have never lived in Goa or India. Section 5 discusses how this issue of identity has in manifested itself in different ways, such as through the community' position on issues of minority representation within Portuguese society, through diaspora associations and networks, and the extent to which the community has engaged with and contributed back to Goa and India. It finds that due to the dilemma over identity, the community has had very weak economic and philanthropic ties with the homeland. Section 6 highlights the growing engagement between the Goan community in Portugal and India in recent years and some initiatives at the government level to deepen this engagement. However, it finds that a long term strategic vision has been lacking on the part of both the Indian and the Portuguese governments. Section 7 concludes by calling for a forward looking approach to engaging with the Goan diaspora community in Portugal. It recommends that this community be strategically leveraged not only to strengthen economic and cultural relations with Portugal but also to serve India's larger foreign policy and geopolitical objectives in the Lusophone countries of Latin America and Africa.

Reaching out : the external dimension of the EU's migration policy : a comparative study on India and Australia
Authors Katharina EISELE, Anja WIESBROCK
This paper seeks to examine the external dimension of the EU's migration policy by concentrating, first, on the EU's legal framework in the area of migration followed by an analysis of the policy developments under the GAMM. In a second step, this paper depicts the EU relations with India and Australia, respectively, in terms of migration matters with a view to explore how the EU has defined its current positions towards these two third countries in form of a comparative case study. India and Australia have been selected for an analysis because the migration flows prevailing in each state vary and the level of economic development differs notably. While Australia has always been an immigration country and maintains traditional ties with the European continent, India has only recently emerged as a major country of emigration to the EU. Yet, the EU constitutes a major partner for both countries. Finally, some conclusive remarks are made on the diverging migration rules for third-country nationals from India and Australia.

Dual citizenship in the relationship India-Europe
Authors Gerard-René DE GROOT, Maarten Peter VINK
This paper discusses the politically controversial topic of dual or multiple citizenship in the context of the relationships between India and Europe, and EU member States in particular. The paper first focuses on the attitude of the Indian legislator towards dual citizenship and pays particular attention to the development of a special status for Overseas Indians holding another citizenship. Thereafter it discusses the attitude of Member States of the European Union towards dual or multiple citizenship, and how this attitude has changed in the course of the years. Finally, the paper explores the changes that would occur if India would accept the possibility to possess dual citizenship c.q. if it would considerably increase the rights of Overseas Citizens of India.

Indian Investment in Eastern Europe: Prospects, issues and the way forward
Authors Tanu M. GOYAL, Arpita MUKHERJEE
With liberalisation, economic growth and stable macroeconomic conditions, companies from developing countries like India, have started investing abroad. Of late, Indian companies have diversified their investments and have shifted from markets within Asia to European markets. This paper examines Indian investment in Eastern Europe, barriers to investment and possibilities for enhancing it through appropriate policy measures. Eastern Europe is a new destination for Indian investment. The paper highlights that India and East European countries have complementarities. However, despite several initiatives, the present level of Indian investment in Eastern Europe is low and limited to a few countries and sectors. A majority of the Indian investments are directed towards Russia and most of these investments are made in the manufacturing and mining sector. Moreover, a large part of the investments is made by a few large Indian companies. Based on in-depth interviews, the study found that lack of market knowledge, poor governance structure, high level of corruption, non-transparent public procurement process and cumbersome customs procedures are some factors hindering Indian investments in the region. The study identifies various areas of investment and collaborations and suggests measures to remove the barriers to investment. While some of these can be addressed under the on-going India-EU Broadbased Trade and Investment Agreement, others require strengthening diplomatic ties, foster information sharing and domestic reforms in India and East European countries.

India-EU migration : the social security rights of Indian nationals moving to and within the European Union
Authors A. P. (Anne Pieter) VAN DER MEI
With the intensification of the economic relationships between India and the European Union (EU) labour mobility from India to the EU is bound to increase in the forthcoming years. This mobility raises numerous questions not only as regards immigration and labour market access, but also in relation to social social security. This paper focuses on the social security status of Indian nationals moving to EU Member States for employment reasons. It presents and analyses, first, the EU's internal social security coordination regime with a view to establishing the social security status of third country nationals, and Indian workers in particular, moving between EU Member States and, second, the external coordination applicable to Indian nationals, moving from India to individual EU Member States (Belgium and the Netherlands) for employment reasons.

All Top Ten ListsSports
Top 10 Greatest Olympians of All Time
1 Michael Phelps Michael Fred Phelps II is an American competition swimmer and the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a total of 22 medals in three Olympiads.
Easily the best. 5 time Olympian, more gold medals, let alone medals, than anyone in history, countless records, and who can forget going 8 for 8?...need I say more?
Michael is truly the best Olympian of all time. No doubt about it. Just finished watching him win his last gold medal in Rio 2016 Olympics...
By the end of the 2012 Olympics, he will have the most Olympic medals ever. Mark Spitz and Eric Heiden were fantastic athletes, but Phelps is in a league of his own.
He is the best athlete in the world. He is my role model, and hopefully someday I can be just as good as him! Truly an inspiration.
2 Usain Bolt Usain St. Leo Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter. Regarded as the fastest person ever timed, he is the first man to hold both the 100 metres and 200 metres world records since fully automatic time measurements became mandatory in 1977. Along with his teammates, he also set the world record in the 4×100 metres ...read more.
Okay, he's only competed in one Olympic Games. But sport is an entertainment, and he stunned audiences around the world like no other.
Sport is also about achievement, and to be the fastest moving human being that has ever lived... well, make your own mind up.
He is insanely talented.
Not even in the same league as the rest of the world.
The fastest and best runner ever
The speedster who created the Dab
3 Jim Thorpe James Francis "Jim" Thorpe was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe became the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States.
Athletes can only be compared to other athletes of their time period. Training, diet, and modern facilities give athletes of modern times a considerable advantage. That being said in my opinion Jim Thorpe is the greatest athlete of all times!
Now contest! Read the history books and you know he was and still is by far the greatest athletes to ever live...
Jim Thorpe always number 1
He was a bad ass
4 Michael Jordan Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his initials, MJ, is an American retired professional basketball player.
There just was something special about him
He is the legend of Basketball period
5 LeBron James LeBron Raymone James is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. LeBron has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and the Lakers.
6 Jesse Owens
Owens won four gold medals at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 - a remarkable achievement in itself, but even more so when you consider that the black athlete achieved his victories in the swastiker-clad heart of Nazi Germany.
Jesse Owens moved America a step closer to equality for all and showed the world the fallacy in Hitlers super race ideas that were gaining popularity. May we never forget.
Defied prejudice, racism, and a master race.
Jesse owens pissed off Hitler
7 Cassius Clay Muhammad Ali (January 17th 1942 - June 3rd 2016) was an American former professional boxer . He was generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport.
8 Steve Redgrave Sir Steven Geoffrey Redgrave is a retired British rower who won gold medals at five consecutive Olympic Games from 1984 to 2000. He has also won three Commonwealth Games gold medals and nine World Rowing Championships golds.
Better than Michael Phelps. Easy to win swimming golds, as there are way more events whereas in rowing you can usually only do one. A truly great athlete. For almost 20 years he completely dominated, not to mention fighting diabetes.
Five Gold medals in a power/strength/endurance event in five consecutive Olympics makes him the greatest Olympian ever, much more so than the sheer number of gold medals won by Phelps, as great as his own achievement may be.
Steve Redgrave the amazing person how has got so many medals and lots of amazing fans. Steve Redgrave seemed to be the absolute tip top of his Olympic game for more then 20 years. IF YOU ASK ME THAT IS AWESOME
Consistency, being a gold medalist for 20 years. A perfect career in a sport that you can't be a professional and can't have many sponsors. Respect.
9 Carl Lewis Frederick Carlton "Carl" Lewis is an American former track and field athlete who won nine Olympic gold medals, one Olympic silver medal, and 10 World Championships medals, including eight gold. His career spanned from 1979 to 1996, when he last won an Olympic event.
For what he did in one Olympic 1984 - 4 Gold, and 4 Gold in 4 consecutive Olympics in the Long Jump, for his durability over 4 olympics, and 1980 he would have made the team but there was a boycott (so he was denied a 5th olympics) an
10 Michael Johnson
'The only person who could beat Michael in his day was Michael Johnson.' Johnson was virtually unbeatable.Going into the 1996 Olympic games Johnson had won 54 straight finals at 400m, and had remained unbeaten for seven years.
11 Nadia Comaneci
Nadia was so ahead of her time that it was ridiculous.
She was doing aerials, 2 of them on the beam alone with three flip flops. She dismounted beam with a double twist when her rivals did single twists. Aerials are still rated a D in today's much harder scoring system.
She even has an E rated release move on her UB routine named after her. E rated skills still have among the highest rating under today's scoring system).
She was doing 2 double backs in 1976 when the floor mat had no springs. Today's floor mats have a ton of springs, yet even in the Elite group, many of today's gymnasts had a hard time ending their floor with another double back. Comaneci did that in 1976... That's almost 40 years ago!
Mark Spitz won SEVEN gold medals at his Olympics. But check out his time comparing to Michael Phelps!
Comaneci was the Queen of all the Olympics. There is no King.
The greatest female athlete of all time! Exotic, exceptional, incomparable! What a girl can achieve at the age of 14. Not only did she prove to be the best in her field but also won a prestigious place for gymnastics in the international arena.
In only a few sports can you strive for perfection, and 14-year-old Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast to achieve the perfect 10 score in Montreal
12 Larisa Latynina
She is the second best Olympian medalist with 18, 9 of them gold.
13 Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali (January 17th 1942 - June 3rd 2016) was an American former professional boxer . He was generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport.
Muhammad Ali has become one of the most infamous Olympians ever, as much for what he did outside of the boxing ring as what he did with the gloves on.
He is the best because no one expected it and it isn't always about the number of medals. In some sports you can't win more than a couple of medals.
14 Mark Spitz Mark Andrew Spitz is an American former competitive swimmer, nine-time Olympic champion, and former world record-holder in seven events.
There were two things swimmer Mark Spitz wasn't short of: confidence and medals. Before the 1968 Olympics he boasted that he would win six gold medals - he took home only two
15 Emil Zatopek
Should be way higher. Wins the marathon the first time he ever competed--after he already won the 5 and 10K
16 Aleksandr Karelin
So much inspired
17 Fanny Blankers-Koen
The 'flying Dutchwoman' was voted female athlete of the 20th century
18 Leonidas of Rhodes
Leonidas of Rhodes - was one of the most famous ancient Olympic runners. For four consecutive Olympiads (164-152 BCE), he was champion of three-foot races. He was hailed with the title "Triastes" (tripler). Leonidas is acclaimed by some to be the greatest sprinter of all time.
Leonidas of Rhodes won 12 titles in athletics in the 164, 160, 156, and 152 because Olympic Games by the age of 36. In each of these four Games, he won three different foot races. The three events were the stadion, a sprint of about 200 meters (656.17 ft.), the diaulos, which was twice the distance of the stadion, and the longer hoplitodromos, a 400-meter (1312.34 ft.) dash carrying 22.68kg (50 lbs) of military gear - made up of a helmet, a breastplate, shin armor, and a shield made of wood and bronze.
Paul Cartledge, professor of classics at the University of Cambridge stated " They were running in armor, the temperature would be 40 Celsius. The conditions were fantastically unpleasant, requiring ...more
19 Bruce Jenner
20 Nikolai Andrianov
The third greater Olympian with a total of 15 medals, 7 of them gold.
21 Michelle Kwan
Olympic medalist, a five-time (1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 & 2003)
22 Ray Ewry
American track and field athlete who won 8 gold medals at the Olympic Games and two gold medals at the Intercalated Games. This puts him among the most successful Olympians of all time.
He took part in three Olympic Games (1900-1908) winning the standing long jump, triple jump and high jump in the first two and the standing long and high jump in the last one.
23 Eric Heiden
How is a guy who won 5 gold medals in a single games competing at totally different distances not #1 let alone even on this list. Can you imagine Usain Bolt winning his events and then 1500, 5000 and 10000 m?!
24 Theagenes of Thasos
Theagenes of Thasos was an ancient Greek Olympian, typically spelled Theogenes before the first century AD.
He became distinguished in every kind of athletic contest, and gained numerous victories at the Olympian, Pythian, Nemean, and Isthmian games. Often described as an extremely strong, muscular, and tall man, Theagenes went on to win two Olympic titles, in boxing in 480 because and pankration in 476 because. In addition, he won three times in the Pythian Games, nine times in the Nemean and ten times in the Isthmian. According to ancient sources, Theagenes competed for 22 years in every major combat competition of his time (boxing, pankration, wrestling), winning various titles all across the ancient world. Greek historian Pausanias claimed that he won an estimated 1,400 fights; about 1,200 more victories than Willie Pep, who, with 229 wins, is considered the most successful boxer of our day.
25 Milo of Croton
Milo of Croton was a 6th-century because wrestler from the Magna Graecian city of Croton, who enjoyed a brilliant wrestling career and won many victories in the most important athletic festivals of ancient Greece. Milo was a six-time Olympic victor. He won the boys' wrestling (probably in 540 because), and thereafter five men's wrestling titles between 536 and 520 BCE. He also won seven crowns at the Pythian Games at Delphi (one as a boy), ten at the Isthmian Games, and nine at the Nemean Games. Milo was a five-time Periodonikes, a "grand slam" sort of title bestowed on the winner of all four festivals in the same cycle. Milo's career at the highest level of competition must have spanned 24 years.

West Jerusalem
Mount Zion is located south of the old city of Jerusalem. You enter the city of David through the Zion Gate, where you can still see the bullet holes of the 1948 war bullets. Here the city is presumed by King David, the origin of Jerusalem. Therefore, Zion is also used as a synonym for Jerusalem and for all of Israel. The Zionists with their thought leader Herzl propagated an independent Jewish state in the Holy Land. Back to the origins, back to Mount Zion. A statue with harp on the way commemorates King David. In the city of David, the "Last Supper" is said to have taken place with Jesus and his disciples. You can visit the Cenacle, which looks like a knight's hall with gothic vaults. The hall is thus much younger than the "Last Supper".
The largest building on Mount Zion is the Dormition Abbey, built by German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1898. The Dormition Abbey was built for Mary, who is said to be here. A very beautiful structure of light natural stone, which stands out with its beautiful mosaics (photo). The abbey is still run by German Benedictine monks.
Schindler's Tomb
On the mountain Zion there is also the grave of Oskar Schindler which became world-famous through the film "Schindler's List" by Steven Spielberg.
Downtown Triangle Jerusalem
The center of West Jerusalem is located in a triangle between Jaffa Street, King George Street and Ben Yehuda. The center is therefore called Downtown Triangle. Since 2011, the tram of Jerusalem operates on Jaffa Street. The modern tram links West Jerusalem with East Jerusalem. King George Street is a broad street with modern buildings and many shops. The most beautiful street is the pedestrian zone of Ben Yehuda (photo), with restaurants and little shops. This is the heart of West Jerusalem.
Jaffa Street
Yad Vashem is the central Holocaust memorial of Israel. The genocide of the Jews of Europe was systematically planned by Nazi Germany and cruelly executed in concentration camps in eastern Europe. Over 4 million people died in the German death camps between 1940-1945. Yad Vashem consists of several buildings, in the Holocaust History Museum the history of the Shoa is presented in great detail from the seizure of power by Adolf Hitler to the extermination of the Jews. The Holocaust History Museum is a triangular, 200-meter-long structure designed by architect Moshe Safdie. At the end of the exhibition the museum opens to the hilly landscape of Jerusalem. Other important places are the Hall of Remembrance, the HaKaron Monument commemorating all the deportees (a freight car on a bridge in the forest), The Children's Memorial is underground, following the path it gets very dark, finally you lose your orientation and the names of murdered children are read aloud. Yad Vashem is a very extensive memorial site, you should get a map at the visitor center first. If you want to see everything, you should plan half a day for the visit.
Opening hours Yad Vashem:
8.30 am-5 pm, Thursdays until 8 pm, Fridays until 2 pm. Closed on Saturdays and on Jewish holidays. Admission is free (2018)
Tram Station: Har Herzl

Mount Herzl
The Israeli Military Cemetery is located on the Mount Herzl in West Jerusalem. On the wooded hill are the tombs of many important personalities. He was named after Theodor Herzl, who published his book "Der Judenstaat" (The jewish state) in 1896 and founded the WZO World Zionist Organization a year later in Basel. Theodor Herzl died in 1904 and was buried in Vienna. On the Herzlberg in Jerusalem a grave of honor for the founder of the Zionists was built, in which his remains were transferred in 1949. The graves of Golda Meir (Prime Minister), Yitzhak Rabin (Prime Minister and Nobel Peace Prize laureate) and Shimon Peres (Prime Minister and Nobel Peace Prize laureate) can also be found in Har Herzl Cemetery. The Mount Herzl is 834 m high and is located about 5 kilometers west of the old town of Jerusalem.
Calatrava Bridge
The bridge is officially called Chords Bridge and opened in 2008. It serves as a tram crossing the intersection in front of Yitzchak Navon Station and Jerusalem Bus Terminal. The Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava has designed the elegant cable-stayed bridge, which is to commemorate the harp of King David. At night, the bridge is illuminated with colorful LED lights.
Other buildings of Calatrava:
Ciudad de Artes y Las Ciencias Oculus New York
Chords Bridge
Me'a Sche Arim
Me'a Sche Arim is the district of ultra-orthodox Jews. Men wear black hats, sidelocks and black suits, as they did in Eastern Europe. Women wear long skirts and headscarves. Visitors should also wear long pants and shirts that cover their arms. It is expected that visitors behave considerately and abide by the Sabbath rules. The district Me'a Sche Arim was built in 1874 and initially consisted of a few courtyard houses that were closed at night. The neighborhood of Orthodox Jews is poor and partially looks like a slum. There are no real attractions, but the neighborhoods of the Orthodox Jews are growing fastest and occupy almost a third of the area of Jerusalem.
Me'a She Arim Street
Knesset
The Knesset (Assembly) is the Israeli parliament building. Since 1949, the Knesset is located in Jerusalem. Today's parliament was built in 1966 according to the plans of architect Ossip (later Josef) Klarwein. Klarwein was born in Warsaw and worked for Hans Poelzig and Fitz Höger before emigrating to Israel in 1934. The simple concrete building houses in its interiors tapestries by Marc Chagall. Tours of the Knesset take place on Sundays and Thursdays (8:30, 12:00 and 14:00): For current information see link.

Bible Lands Museum
The Bible Lands Museum is a private, religious art collection that explains the history of the Holy Land through art objects and archaeological finds. The Bible Lands Museum incorporates the Middle East, Egypt and Greece and explains the influences of different cultures that met in Israel and formed the Holy Land. In Israel, the trade routes that connected Egypt with the country of the two rivers met. As a result, the peoples and cultures mingled in the Holy Land.

The Israel Museum consists of a collection of buildings that house very different themes. The Israel Museum displays modern works of art, archeology, Jewish life and the history of Israel. You can easily spend a whole day here. The sculpture garden contains works by Henry Moore, Picasso and Claas Oldenburg. The main attraction of the Israel Museum is the Shrine of the Book. Here are the scrolls from Qumran, which were found in 1947 in caves on the Dead Sea. Another attraction is the model of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. The huge city model shows Jerusalem around the year 70 AD, just before the temple was destroyed by the Romans.

The O.C. Sundays – Volume 2 – S01:E02 – The Model Home
The O.C. Sundays – Volume Two – Season One: Episode Two – The Model Home
Ryan is back at the Cohen's and as the episode starts it seems as if he's already taking advantage of the rich life.
He and Seth lounge in the pool while Sandy and Kirsten cook a last meal before Ryan has to be taken to child services in the morning. Seth wants to do something cool on Ryan's last night, "Possibly get some tattoos, hire some hookers and lose our virginity." Ryan gives him a 'that ship sailed a long time ago for me' look, but instead of giving Seth a hard time, he confesses he just wants to lay low tonight. After all, he's basically staying at a five star resort.
In the kitchen, Kristen can't believe a mother would just abandon a child like Ryan's Mom has, but she's still not budging on letting Ryan stay. She and Sandy talk awkwardly about foster care and how there's still a chance he could get adopted. "Yeah because everybody wants a brand new teenager," Seth says grudgingly as the boys come in for dinner.
Kristen starts talking to Sandy about her father, Caleb Nichol, who owns the company she works for. Remember Caleb's name because he's about to show up and be insufferable for two solid seasons, with splashes of comedy in between. Kirsten essentially does all the work at their property development/management business and you can tell there's a strained relationship there. There's a model home replica on the table and Ryan asks if she can build him one. Bad joke. As dinner is ready, Sandy says, "So last supper huh?" Also, a bad joke.
After dinner, the entire house tries to sleep, but it's soon given up as an impossible task. Ryan can't sleep and does not want to go to the group home so he packs his stuff and tries to leave. Seth comes down to see if Ryan wants to play Playstation and catches Ryan on his way out the door. Seth has an idea for Ryan to stay in Newport, so he goes up to his room to grab some things and tells Ryan to meet him out in front.
As Ryan is outside waiting for Seth, Marissa comes out and they 'hey' at each other. So many 'heys', you guys. Like these breathless long weird surprised 'heys' will continually keep happening as long as this show goes on. Marissa says she didn't think she'd see him ever again and thanks him for making sure she didn't die of alcohol poisoning the other night. Seth shows up and is surprised to see Marissa who says she's on her way to her best friend Summer's birthday party. Seth outs himself as a stalker saying that Summer's birthday isn't until Wednesday. Marissa gives him that crazy look and she asks what they're up to.
Oh Seth. Always trying and failing at being stealth. Marissa offers to give them a ride and in the car, Seth and Marissa find out they have more in common than they both originally thought. Ryan confesses he doesn't really listen to music, which is weird. Except Journey, he likes Journey. But more on that in Season 3.
Seth takes them to the literal Model Home that they saw a replica of earlier. Kirsten is having trouble with the contractors so it's empty right now! Convenient! Just become a squatter, Ryan. Problem solved. Seth starts skateboarding in the empty pool, and the gang celebrates their smart thinking by purchasing some high quality In and Out, because they're in California, just in case you forgot. Marissa eats some fries which is probably the only thing she eats that day because at 5'9" she can't come in at more than 100 lbs. Marissa confesses that she thinks her dad is in trouble as a financial planner and Ryan talks about his shitty Mom and OMG, they both have issues. Remember, white people have problems too.
Luke calls to see where Marissa is at, probably trying to gauge her arrival time and see how many chicks he can bang before she arrives. She quietly tells him she loves him, but makes weird faces at Ryan because she obviously doesn't want him to hear. Ryan asks how long they've been together and Seth interrupts and says they've been together since the fifth grade, "…when they got their mack on during the class trip to the Museum of Tolerance. Back of the bus, classy lady." Marissa takes offense and asks what she ever did to Seth. He says nothing. She's never said or done anything to him. She says he's the one that thinks he's better than everyone, and Seth reports that at least he doesn't shave his chest. Marissa defends Luke saying that he plays water polo so he has to.
The party is broken up when Summer calls again to ask where Marissa is. Seth is desperate to get his name in as he asks Marissa to tell Summer he said happy birthday.
Marissa is kind enough to lie and tell Seth that Summer said "thanks" instead of "who". Marissa leaves, Seth heads home to keep his cover, and Ryan spends the night at the empty house. In the morning, Ryan wakes up in a big beautiful empty house and Sandy goes to wake Ryan only to find that he's split in the middle of the night. A cop shows up and Seth and Marissa talk on their land lines about a meet up plan to get supplies to Ryan.
Side note, if you were born after 2000, a land line is a phone that can't leave your house, sometimes hard lined in, or if you're super cool in the early 2000's, you have a cordless one. But don't think about taking it anywhere outside the house. It won't work.
After Marissa leaves, her Mom Julie takes her sister, 'Season One Kaitlin' to the stables to buy a horse. Season One Kaitlin is played by a young Shailene Woodley who apparently wasn't old enough looking or hot enough looking when they decided to bring that character back in Season 3. It's slightly awkward because Willa Holland who replaces her is the same age as her. So one has to conclude it's a hotness issue, not a old enough issue.
Julie asks for a check and Jimmy, who is CLEARLY HAVING FINANCIAL ISSUES because he is wearing a bathrobe in the middle of the day, pales at the idea of giving her money. Jimmy protests that Kaitlin doesn't need a pony and Kaitlin protests that "China the prettiest pony". Jimmy says he needs to talk to Julie about work, and she says she doesn't like to talk about work. She says no one is dying so I'm sure you'll fix it. Now write that fucking check.
Julie shows up later saying China has alopecia and she needs a new check. Since Jimmy can't talk to his wife about his financial problems, he calls his ex girlfriend, Kristen and asks to meet her for some help. Meanwhile, Sandy is worried about Ryan, but he thinks Seth knows where he is and is keeping it a secret. Kristen asks what is so special about Ryan and Sandy says he sees himself in him and if no one had helped him, he wouldn't be here today. Sandy is just working away to chisel down that stone cold heart of Kirsten's.
Marissa and Seth show up at the house with supplies for Ryan, but no one brought food so they go on the boardwalk to eat something. Marissa hops on the back of Ryan's bike and Seth longboards around Newport Pier. A fun montage occurs! They're all so quirky and fun!
They go to a diner and discuss Ryan's next move. Marissa says she can get him money to get to Texas where she knows someone who could help him get some work. Luke and his friends come in and Marissa defuses the tension while the guys try to sneak out. Ryan makes it out without being seen but Seth knocks into a waitress and makes a scene. He is caught and Luke wants to fight of course, but Ryan senses trouble and comes back in much to the rage of Luke and his tiny penis.
"You're a little far from 8 mile," Luke says, pulling down Ryan's hood and looking to start a fight. Ryan takes the bait.
"You know what I like about rich kids?
Ryan sucker punches Luke and he and Seth make their escape. Later at the model home, Marissa meets up and tries to defend Luke's behavior. They start to argue but then they hear voices so they sneak around the top of the stairs out of sight to see that Kirsten has shown up with Jimmy. They talk loudly about Jimmy's financial problems and he asks Kirsten for $100,000 which she readily gives. Kirsten says the new contractors are coming tomorrow as they exit, and that means Ryan has to get out of there.
Back at the Cohen's, Sandy tells Seth that the cops called him and someone fitting Ryan's description got into a fight at the pier, so they go out looking for him. Marissa goes to another party at Holly's beach house and everyone starts talking shit about Ryan. Summer, in her one-dimensional character way asks, "Who dat?" Luke says they're talking about Ryan who is a little bitch and he's gonna beat his ass. Marissa gets all sad and leaves. Unbeknownst to her, Luke and his gang follow her.
Back at the model home, Ryan lights a bunch of candles (really smart Ryan) while listening to the 'Model Home Mix Tape' that Marissa has given him. Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is playing and Marissa shows up randomly saying 'this song reminds me of you.' We will hear this song again by the way, another cover of it by Imogen Heap in the last scene we ever see Marissa and Ryan in together (hold onto your tears for season 3 finale).
Marissa says she's not sure why she's here, but she's afraid she'll never see him again. She asks to spend the night. Ryan says that if she stays, he doesn't know if he could leave. BUT THEY LIVE IN DIFFERENT WORLDS! RYAN ISN'T LIKE HER! GO! GO! Ryan and Marissa emo it out for a few minutes before Marissa is told to leave and Ryan dramatically turns away from her as if looking at her hurts, and they're in a fucking Shakespeare play. Marissa starts crying for no reason, gets in her car, and drives away somehow not seeing Luke's giant truck parked right by her. Ryan changes his mind and runs after her but it's too late! She's GONE!
Time for some revenge. Ryan hears noises and asks if Seth has the bus ticket to Texas, but it's not Seth, it's Luke and his bro gang. Oh shit! Luke wants to know what Ryan is doing with his girlfriend. They start fighting and of course they knock over a bunch of candles and the entire place starts catching fire. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LIGHT A BUNCH OF CANDLES IN AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION AREA, RYAN!? Luke's friends take off, but Luke has a change of heart and comes back for a beaten and bloody Ryan. He drags him out of the house to safety before taking off and leaving him there. He tells Ryan to run, but Ryan can't exactly move that quickly after getting his ass kicked.
Marissa comes home crying and Jimmy, while bragging to Julie about how he took care of his work problem (AKA Kristen gave him money), gets up to console Marissa. The Cohen's show up at the burned out house and Seth says it's his fault. So the cops and everyone else head to The Cohen's to sort this out. Meanwhile, Ryan is out trying to hitch a ride and Luke shows up. As the police are questioning Seth, and the nosy neighbors, The Coopers come out to see what's going on, Ryan and Luke show up. Ryan admits to everything and apologizes. Luke says it was an accident and says he was there too. The police arrest them both.
Sandy tells Ryan and Luke to keep their mouths shut as he will be their attorneys. Kristen is not happy, and Marissa looks confused in her too big Ugg boots and weird bathrobe/nighty combination. Also, what is Julie Cooper wearing?
"California" by Rufus Wainwright (who also does a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Basically get ready because in this show you're going to hear A LOT of different versions of Hallelujah).
*punch*
Marissa and Seth call each other on their land lines because those are still relevant.
One. There is a black cop who says 'we have to ask you a few questions.' DIVERSITY.

The O.C. Sundays – Volume 1 – S1: E01 – Premiere
The O.C. Sundays – Volume One – Season One: Episode One – Premiere
The first season of The O.C. is flawless. It is essentially a soap opera following the lives of white rich people and it's constantly reminding you, "Hey! White rich people have problems too!" The audience is introduced to our main set of younger characters: Ryan, Seth, Marissa, and Summer (who was only supposed to be a minor character in the show, but who can say no to more Rachel Bilson?), and our older characters: Sandy & Kirsten (Seth's parents), Julie Cooper-Nichol-Cooper-Atwood (stay with me on that one) & Jimmy (Marissa's parents). Let's begin.
"I'm your big brother and if I don't teach you this who will?" says pilot episode Trey Atwood (the actor is replaced later in the series).
So begins the events that bring Ryan Atwood into The O.C. Ryan's older brother breaks into a car, starts it, and pressures Ryan to getting in. The police catch them and Trey is given 3-5 years while Ryan, as a juvenile, is placed with public defender Sandy Cohen, played by the grand prize winner of eyebrows, Peter Gallagher.
"I'm gonna give you my card, my home number. If you need somebody," he says, as Ryan's shitty drunk Mom comes to pick him up and starts yelling at him. Ryan is taken back to his house where his drunk Mom kicks him out, and when he argues, her drunk boyfriend beats him up. Ryan grabs his stuff, hops on his BMX bike he uses for transportation (the mark of a truly poor man), and takes off.
This sparks the traditional open of California by Phantom Planet starting to play as Ryan starts to call all his 'friends' to see if he can stay with them. He calls everyone on a pay phone by the way, because this is fucking Chino and it's 2003. Only rich kids have cell phones. When Ryan runs out of options, Sandy Cohen's life changing decision to hand Ryan his number at the last minute is set in motion. Such a great opening to a show. After this episode we go straight into the classic opening of the rest of the episodes.
Sandy keeps Ryan outside his house while he talks his wife Kirsten into letting him stay with them. Ryan steps out to the curb to smoke a cigarette and we see the beginning of a relationship that can only end badly when Ryan and Marissa first meet. Josh Schwartz, creator of the show (you can also thank him for Gossip Girl), sets up this classic moment of 'Who are you?'/'Whoever you want me to be'. Fateful melodic music plays in the background and we all know this isn't going to end well.
Marissa bums a cigarette, invites him to her fashion show, and they both eye fuck each other while clearly not knowing how to smoke fake cigarettes. Who was the cigarette trainer on this show? He tells her the truth about why he's staying at the Cohen's but she doesn't believe him and assumes he's their cousin from Boston, and that rumor spreads. Luke pulls up, who as of the pilot, is just the bro boyfriend of Marissa who drives around in an overcompensating truck that's way too big. Stay tuned on Luke, because he easily becomes a favorite as his character gains more background and complexity.
Wow, is it going be hard for Marissa to pick between these two guys: Luke with his pooka shell necklace, or Ryan with his tweed choker? Life is full of hard decisions. Early on and throughout this entire episode, we see Mischa Barton's 'acting' on display. I wish I could say it gets better, but I'd be lying.
Ryan is set up in the pool house overnight and in the morning, he finds Sandy's son Seth playing video games on the floor and being weird. He asks if Ryan wants to play and you think this is going to be awkward, but instead he and Ryan hit it off right away.
The boys go sailing, which is the weirdest part of this Pilot and feels completely out of place. Luckily they never do it again. Seth says he named his sailboat after a girl named Summer. Ryan says she must be thrilled and Seth has to admit he's never talked to her before. Sandy meets them at the beach to remind them to get ready for the fashion show, to which Seth clearly believes his father to be joking. Sandy says Ryan has to go because Marissa invited him. Seth can't believe that he's got an invite as he's lived next to Marissa Cooper his entire life, her father almost married his mother (Sandy speaks up and denies this), and Marissa has never spoken to him either.
The boys get ready and it's clear Ryan doesn't know how to tie a tie. In one of the most heartwarming scenes, setting us up to see Sandy as the father figure Ryan never had, Sandy admits he didn't know how to do so either until he was 25, and he teachers Ryan. They all head to the fashion show, which Marissa says they throw every year to raise money for the battered women's shelter. Marissa gushes on stage, "It's such a great cause you guys!" OMG, thanks for that shit acting Mischa. Also, these rich people behind the scenes have clearly never ever set foot in a battered women's shelter.
Sandy points out Summer to Seth and Ryan, much to Seth's eternal embarrassment. This evokes the great line from Ryan, "Way to salt his game, Mr. Cohen." Marissa and her best friend Summer, who Seth is obsessed with, are stealing champagne and liquor bottles backstage. It's Marissa's turn to go out on the runway and instead of finding Luke and smiling at him, she finds Ryan and smiles at him. Obviously this sends Luke's tiny dick into a rage.
We meet Julie Cooper, and Marissa's younger sister Kaitlin (we'll call her 'Pilot Kaitlin', because she disappears for a bit, then comes back somehow 10 years older and hotter in the third season). Julie is awful at first, and actually continues to be awful for some time, but also somewhat lovable as the show progresses. She is oblivious to the fact that her husband is obviously having a some financial difficulties, something that is obvious to everyone, especially long time friend and almost wife, Kirsten Cohen. Later in the bathroom, Ryan is washing his hands when Jimmy comes in visibly shaken, gets in a stall and has a mental breakdown, further reinforcing that white rich people have problems too.
Summer spots Ryan and wants to know more about what's under his wife beater. She invites him to a party at Holly's beach house that they get to use for all their hard work for charity. Such hard work you guys. Ryan convinces Seth to go saying that Summer invited them both. Marissa starts her drinking problem early, while Luke openly cheats on her down at the beach. Summer, who is completely wasted, comes onto Ryan, and Seth sees it happening. He loudly tells Ryan to, "Go back Chino!" Oh snap the jig is up, and now everyone knows Ryan is from Chino.
As a side note from someone who grew up in Orange County, and is familiar with the surrounding area, Chino is not that bad of a town. Yes it's inland, hot as shit, and the cost of living isn't as high as Newport Beach, but plenty of places in Orange County don't have the same cost of living as Newport. It's not like you cross the county line from San Bernardino and suddenly rich white people are everywhere driving Hummers. You have to stick to the coast, and stay south of Huntington to really see these types of rich assholes (and unfortunately they do exist).
Some of Luke's gang start kicking Seth's ass, which prompts Ryan to step in a save the day. It's two against seven so they get their asses kicked, but this inspires the friendship between Ryan and Seth to continue, despite Summer being awful (one dimensional character at the moment, but she gets better).
Ryan and Seth head home and Seth promptly passes out on the floor of the pool house. Ryan goes out to smoke a cigarette and sees Marissa's friends drop her off on the porch of her house completely blacked out. Why not? It's not like alcohol poisoning is a thing. She'll be fine. Ryan adorably holds Marissa's purse trying to find her keys and wake her up, but to no avail. He ends up carrying her back to the pool house, tucking her in, and joining Seth on the floor. In the morning Marissa is gone, and Kirsten is pissed. Seth is drunk and has a black eye and Ryan has to go.
"This is what happens when you let our son hang out with criminals."
"At least he's hanging out with someone. Don't salt his game honey."
Kirsten kicks Ryan out because it turns out she's scared of Chino, too. Laying on the guilt and regret, Ryan makes breakfast for everyone and Kristin doesn't realize this until after she's told him he has to leave.
"You have a really nice family," Ryan says, just digging into that guilt.
Ryan goes up to say goodbye to Seth and there is this beautiful moment where Seth tries to set up a play date where maybe they meet up in Chino sometime. It will never work and Ryan is the only one who knows it, but it's a really great moment anyway. Ryan goes for a handshake and Seth goes in for a hug. Best bromance of the mid-2000s.
Ryan leaves Orange County to head home as the sun sets on Marissa Cooper's face. She watches him go as she waits outside to be picked up. Joseph Arthur's Honey and the Moon plays, which easily becomes Ryan and Marissa's theme song for when YouTube comes along, and people start putting together weird mash ups of their relationship set to music. Luke shows up and picks her up and it seems for a moment as if everything is going to be as it was.
Sandy drops Ryan back off in front of his house and there's a bunch of junk out in front of it because Chino is gross, remember? Suddenly it's daytime again, because I guess the sun sets under dramatic circumstances in Orange County, but everywhere else we have to rely on the Earth's orbit.
Ryan waves Sandy off, thanking him for the ride. He clearly doesn't want Sandy to see the inside of his home. It seems as if Sandy agrees and lets Ryan make his way inside, presumably taking off back to his mansion. Sadly, Ryan walks into an empty house, furniture gone, all his possessions gone, and a note of apology on the table. Then Sandy walks in and it only takes him a second to be the best human being ever as he whispers, "Come on, let's go." So, The O.C. really begins.
"California" by Phantom Planet
California is the theme song for the entire series, and its opening immediately captivated everyone. It has to mentioned because it's the first episode and it really encapsulates the feeling of the show.
"Honey and the Moon" By Joseph Arthur
However, I can't not mention the beauty that is Joseph Arthur (who I am only now a huge fan of because this show and this exact episode. I bought the guy's entire discography because of this episode when I was a teenager).
"Welcome to The OC, Bitch!" – Luke
"Do you like my hair this straight, or is it too Avril Lavigne?" – Julie Cooper
Zero. There is a Mexican maid at one point that Kristin points to and says, "Ask Rosa if you need anything," but Rosa can't be bothered to be given a speaking line. She's too busy making the bed.
Ryan's wife beater. Because duh.
Come back next Sunday for the next episode!

No one would ever deny, these ARE pretty. Very pretty *happy sigh*. It was a pleasure to take photos of them. Looking how beautiful they appear from different angles, a bloggers dream.
I love the random patterns on those and the fact that it stays there even after usage since it is not only on the surface but also deeper down. Luminous Flush is composed of a pinky coral part, mixed with Ambient Lighting Powder in Luminous Light but I find the lighter parts of this blush to be darker than the original powder.
Mood Exposure is a plummy shade, mixed with paler rosy highlighter. Pale parts should be the same as Ambient Lighting Powder in Mood Light, which I don't own but looking at the swatches I suspect this one might also be a little darker than the original powder.
I was wondering how much plum would mood exposure pull on me. It appeared more of a soft brown on the swatches I have seen and on me it has a very slight plum tingle but I would still classify it as a brown. Luminous Flush is a warm light pink on me, which pulls slightly coral. Both of them are rather matte to satin finish and do not glow on my cheeks, which is good in my book.
I was praying expecting that Chanel Joues Contraste #84 in Accent (reviewed here) and Mood Exposure would be close but Accent pulls cooler and more plum. I would like to compare Luminous Flush to one of my recent loves, Diorblush in Corail Bagatelle (reviewed here). Luminous Flush is a lighter version of Corail Bagatelle and also slightly warmer.
For the following look I combined Hourglass Eyeshadow Duo in Exhibition on the eyes with Hourglass Luminous Flush on the cheeks. On my lips I am wearing Giorgio Armani Flash Lacquer #614 in Belladonna, reviewed here (a lovely reader Alicia asked for a FOTD with it, so here it goes out to her).
My impressions? These are very finely milled, they kick some powder but with a soft brush like Suqqu's Cheek Brush it applied beautifully. The color shows up nicely and blending is easy. I actually have only one problem with these, staying time. Almost 2-3 hours after the application, these started to fade on me and after 4 hour mark there was only a slight indication of blush was left on my cheeks. I don't know if it is my rather dry to normal skin and if it lasts longer on other depending on the choice of foundation or chemistry of one's face but for me longevity is a big issue. I put on my make-up before I go to work in the morning and I expect that when I am back home (10-11 hours) it is still on. Most of my other blushes don't fade on me so I was a little disappointed in this respect. Anyone having the same problem or am I the odd one out?
Final thoughts: Pretty, soft and pigmented. Wished they would stay longer on me.
Oh we still haven't recieved these and I was all excited but now I'll be rethinking due to wear time. I never carry my blush with me and expect to have some on by the time I get home from work. Now Sara both look beautiful on you and I must say that Belladona is super pretty!
Hi, oh thanks lol. Yes Belladonna is pretty, I usually stay away from glosses but this one pulls me in.
As for the longevity, some are having an issue and some not so you may want to try it out before buying if you have a counter or just order one and try out. Just warning her because it is easy to loose inn's mind and order one of each since they look so pretty.
I had trouble with longevity and my skin is dry/dehydrated... I found that with some foundations it wore all day just fine! Interesting!
Oh really? With which foundation did it wear longer?
I don't think i am going to change my foundation for blush wearing longer but it is interesting to hear nevertheless lol.
Oh noo, I'm so sorry to hear about the wear time! I'm still on the fence with these. On the one hand, they all seem really pretty. On the other, I'm not sure any of them would be unique enough in my collection. I hope you'll figure out a way to make them last!
I think they are very pretty to look at but I am not that convinced of the quality. I have found out that with a stiffer brush, they last a little longer.
Maybe on you they last longer. This is also a bit of normal to dry skin problem I think since they have finishing powder mixed in.
Disappointing to hear that they don't last very long. I have Moodlight Ambient Powder, and I'm not sure whether its supposed to last but I have to reapply it every couple hours. I have combination skin and I mainly use BB creams and tinted moisturizers, and occasionally MAC Face and Body. Thanks for the review!
I am 4/5th of the way through writing my post about these and my biggest problem is the wear time too. But I do like them.....they are very pretty to look at too!!
