Paris

After a nightmare in Charles de Gaulle Airport, yesterday night i finally got Paris. My hostel is a bit far from the center, but actually it's not a hostel, it's a hotel, so I'm more than happy. Paris is always Paris: it makes you happy.

First stop at Champ Elysees, the heart of the 'La Ville Lumiere': amazing. Meeting down the Tour Eiffel waiting for the new year. The Tour Eiffel, during the night, is something special and it's a must: it is worth to see it once in the life. Meeting down the special tower with brasilian friends, french friends and polish friends, just to enjoy the night and welcome the 2009....happy new year to you...

Traditional Bingo Christmas

In Italy the traditional bingo never lack. Along with Pandoro and Panettone of course. Lunch with the family and closest relatives...but with the mind also somewhere...up there... Like the best traditional Christmas time, snow couldn't miss: 5 hours of snowing and the landscape turned into something beautiful.

Simple Christmas this year, nothing special. Mind always down here and up there... jumping continuosly. This year we missed the usual Cascina meeting: a bit sad, but we tryed to repeat it at Missi's home. Classical poker this year and not Texas Holdem. It was funny anyway.

Looking forward to ... Paris...

Milan

Back from Milan. No snow over there, but i saw a new 'Duomo', after a few years of rennovation. The castle is always the same though, and with the fog we couldn't see the top. Pizza in the center, beside 'Babila' square: da Gennaro.

Milan is nothing special compared to other big city of Europe: just consumerism, shops, clubs. The sight is good, but you have to stay close to the center: almost nothing if you walk in the opposite direction. But we don't mind about what the city has to offer to us: the people make all ...

Back home, back to Bel Paese

Home is Home. My home is my home, so sweet. Back to Italy from the land of Celtic. Back to 'Bel Paese'. I think I'm going to be 'gordinho' as I'm going to eat everything I'll find on the table :-)

Just a bunch of days here, TO THE MAX, to meet friends, new and old ones. Just a bunch of days to reorganise the mind, to organise and connect all the stuff that lies around. A bunch of days to enjoy the holidays, the family and maybe the snow, resting on the sofa and ...

Pigiama and Christmas-hat party at Music Hall

A pyjama, a Christmas hat and a lot of beers. This is how our brasilian-italian party started at Music Hall last saturday night. Something different from the normality, something different from the routinely. The usual boxes of 24 beers, the usual boxes of chips with garlic, ketchup and mayonnaise. Something simple but that works as a super glue.

Laughing like kids, drinking alcohol as adults, enjoying the night. Outside it is cold, so cold, but we don't give a damn: we are inside, chatting each other at a samba rhythm. We don't care about winds, we don't mind about the weather, we don't think about clouds: beer, chat and life....It is not the party that make people, it is the people who make party...

777

777....no comment. Don't you have a girl friend? Event though Giogio made 7/7/7 (spades), which is brobabilistic speaking, almost impossible, we didn't get any money because we went in the wrong place...poor people still remain poor.....these are the rules.... Don't you have something better to do? Don't you have a different place to waste money....
