Sorry, guess again! Change: transition that occurs when moving from one state to another, for example:

From winter to spring.

From leaving home to work to working at home. That is if you’re one of the lucky ones who still has a full time or part-time job or you have taken the plunge to start off your own project through crowd funding… Even the newspaper Público uses it as a new way to cover its publication costs.

From protests to violence and from violence to injustice. Just like what some shameless demonstrators proved to be on the 29M, destroying a what was completely peaceful day. Hundreds of people flooded the streets of Barcelona expressing their unease with their employment status… And out came vandalism, the never ending story, and let’s not talk about unions and politicians…

From day to night. The city seems to slow down, the calmness before the action starts.

From square to hexagonal.

From Barcelona Posa’t Guapa to Barcelona Smart City Capital. Excuse me? Let’s try to explain it a little bit: Smart Cities are those that make use of Information Technologies aimed at ensuring sustainable development, increased quality of life of its inhabitants, greater resource efficiency and improved citizen participation… quite the list! For starters the Barcelona City Council has launched an online questionnaire within the Programa de Actuación Municipal [Municipal Action Program], the PAM, to make decisions for the next 3 years. It seems that not everything is about getting us to pay, ideas are also useful… I have already used it to say what I think.

From daughter to mother and from mother to grandmother. Always at their best.

From being remembered to being forgetten. Let them ask Emilio or Miguel about it, the endearing protagonists of Arrugas.

From medium rare to well done. As Bernard Shaw said, “There is no sincerer love than the love of food”.

From being fashionable to being très fashionable. for that, you have to be up-to-date, or very up-to-date.

Change: transition that occurs when moving from one state to another. At what speed that happes is another matter entirely.
