Yeah yeah, military days are over and it`s time to move on.Fresh start for everyone on planet Earth.. Hooray !!

Now, I`ve always wanted to see Ireland when I first saw the movie called “Braveheart”. Then I met a few Irish through the time and rest is history. St. Patrick’s day (Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig) in an irish pub in Istanbul, green beer and  green leaves, shirts etc. Anyways this is not about my drunken nights with my funny and adorable Irish crew.

Vodafone in Ireland came up with something that cheer all the Irish people in the middle of winter by using the flickr. It`s called “Cheer Up Your Top Up” the 40% free call credit promotion tied up to a photo contest and urban knitting. The photo contest, with a prize of a 3000 Euro shopping spree, calls for photos that could be used to cheer up the Irish. Jump on to this flickr link to see what’s been cheering the Irish so far.

About the knitting part, this was inspired by the urban knitting scene which was originated is the US in 2005 where anonymous knitting ninja’s leave knitted graffiti on trees, cars and landmarks.Here is the video and some lovely knitting pics.

And this one is the original Vodafone Cheer Up Ireland commercial.
