Flag Day, is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag, its designers and makers. Our flag is representative of our independence and our unity as a nation.....one nation, under God, indivisible. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon.
As Americans, we have every right to be proud of our culture, our nation, and our flag. So raise the flag today and every day with pride!
Prayer flags set against a very modern (in the artistic sense) concrete structure. I like the juxtaposition of ideologies. It seems consistent with the agenda of the Dalai Lama: the blurring of the lines between western and eastern thought, science and spirituality interwoven into one beautiful tapestry...
Yeah, what he said.

House of Flags consists of 206 panels presenting the flag icons of all the nations participating in the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. Combined they make a large building jigsaw, a united 'House'. A matrix of symbols, shimmering colours, shadows and perforations invites everyone to experience an image of the world as well as an image of multi-ethnic London.
House of Flags is designed by AY Architects which is co-directed by Yeoryia Manolopoulou, staff of the Bartlett School of Architecture, for the London 2012 Olympics. It has been commissioned by the Mayor of London as part of the ‘WONDER’ series of Incredible Installations.

Flag Day is already a well-known and beloved competition among students from five high schools in Bucharest, organized by the Public Diplomacy Section. Participating for the first time, this year’s high schools (Mihai Eminescu, Nicolae Iorga, C.A. Rosetti, Mihail Sadoveanu and Dimitrie Paciurea) developed depictions of all 50 U.S. States and the District of Columbia.
Held in the Embassy’s courtyard for the first time, the 150 students exhibited the displays they created to illustrate representative elements for each of the states, all related to the history, culture and language of the Native Americans. The winners received American books and stationary and had a fun pizza picnic on the lawn.

Day Thirty-Nine: Project 365
Today I sang with Paradigm Vocal Ensemble. It was a tiring day. I got up superearly to drive to the church where we were going to sing. After church, we went to one of our members' houses for lunch, where I managed to step on a bee or a wasp or something. It stung the bottom of my foot. It really hurts. I don't recommend stepping on creatures with stingers. Then we rehearsed and performed again in the afternoon.
After all that, I had to drive to my house and then to Stephen's and then to his parents' for a birthday party.
It's been a long day.

It'll be tough to unite Cyprus as long as both sides continue to fly the Greek or Turkish flags next to their own.
