Catching Up!

Ciao a tutti!

In this period there's not much new goin' on, but working, and training with my best friend Lele.

We went to train with a great teacher, near Rome, a beautiful place called Avigliano Umbro.
Anthony received us in his home.
I went with Lele and my friend Estevan that came from my hometown.


Anthony manage to explain very difficult things like esotherism in Tai Ji Chuan even to people like me, Lele and Estevan :-)

The place is magic, with a very beautiful countryside, surrounded by woods of ancient trees and crops.. not to mention the food, they have a restaurant in town AWESOME :-)

So now we are training me and Lele, to put on test what we learned.
We catch up anytime we can, or to say better when our work shifts match together.

There's of course a catch, cause Lele is married and father of a wonderful baby, and also of Tango, a crazy 5year old boxer-pit bull cross, so after training we go to the park to walk the dog and play with Giorgia, but is a great fun too.

And both of them can teach something on Tai Ji to everybody :-))

Ciriciao!!

P.S.: after we doubled the security, at the hotel no one reported any strange presence.. much better!

Security Break

In these days we are under attack.

A thing that I didn't say about the hotel is that is located in a suburb called Tor Bella Monaca, which is not really the kind of place that you would choose for your holidays in the city.
We are close to the University, so we serve mainly the people that live and work there.


But Tor Bella Monaca is famous (and avoided by the rest of the Romans) because half of the population is currently under home arrest, and not for stealing apples..

However the situation is not so dangerous as it seems, during the day is really quiet, but after sunset is better to move in groups, or at least this is the advice that I give to the customers.

So few days ago we had a situation, with people coming to the reception telling us that they had a visit from a security guard, asking us to have a look inside the room.
The thing is that our guard was at the main entrance.

If this isn't scaring enough, my mates told me that this isn't the first time that happens, so from last Friday we have doubled the security at the hotel, and everybody is keeping both eyes open, hoping to find any signs of these people.. well, do you think you can enter alone in a 4 stars hotel with a badge?

Obviously we are dealing with a kind of an organization, that for the moment is more organised than us.


And that's all for now, folks!

We are waiting for someone who can deal better than us with this situation: maybe Sherlock Holmes!

Ciriciao!
