Home

This week I'll be home for my well deserved holidays, I can't believe it! :-)

Program will be busy, so hopefully I'll write about it and show you nice pics as I'll come back..

Family portraits, friends reunions, some good snow time, the usual.. :-)

New Proposals

For this 2010 I have the usual proposals that never come real objectives, as usual.. :-)

The only objective for this year, at the moment, is start training not only for Tai Ji as usual, but also for get in a shape which allow me to wear my clothes, or soon I'll have to start buying all new bigger stuff.
This holidays, altough I worked them, we ate like was no tomorrow, and I didn't pay any attention of number of pieces of cake, nor which kind of cake was..

Merry Christmas!

Wish you very happy holidays, if you have them, if instead you're working like me wish you to have fun with your workmates, eat and drink till you drop! :-)



A thought for all the people that in this period will not have a great X-mas:













people from Abruzzo that still waiting for their new homes;

everyone that lost his job, or is working without getting paid;

everyone that doesn't have a house, a job, or even a family...

Merry Christmas to you all

Umbria Tai Ji 3

Yesterday we went for a private workshop at Anthony's place.
Altough we didn't have day off, but both me and Lele had to work afternoon shift, we decided to go at least for the morning training, leaving immediately after to run back to Rome.

At the beginning I was not so enthusiast cause I don't like tight schedules very much, but the thing with Tai Ji is that when you're training you start to put things in a different perspective, in a way that make you accept Anthony's invite for lunch, with obviously being late for work after..

In the measure of the Universe, a couple of hours is pretty much nothing, and that's maybe one of the best lessons that Tai Ji can teach :-)

Lost in Switzerland

Since I came back from this trip I was thinking to write a post to put together all the impressions and stories about this week..

There would be lots to say, from reunion with part of my family, to discover a new world just near ours, made of different countries all mixed together with languages and uses..

An explosion of chocolate that can knock you off with hyperglycemia just stepping into it..







Best Bratwurst in Zurich, and maybe in the world..





Stefano, my cousin that after twenty years that we didn't see each other still looks the same, apart that now speaks four languages.. but swears in Italian at hockey games





Getting lost during my walkings trying to reach city centre, with the amazed looks of my pics and the comments: "Did you arrive here BY FOOT?"




Learning a language that is spoken but not written..

The love fot the unknown, for the discover, for the travel...

And, most of all, the Love itself, in all is power and in the nostalgia for the object of yours...

See you!!

Holidays!

Today last day of work, a double shift night-afternoon and then I'll be off for a week.. Yay!

Because November is a quite month in tourism industry, usually we can easily get days off from work, also in this way we can rest to be prepared for the craziest month of the year.. of course December and its holidays!
That's one of the things of this job, you rest when everybody's working, and work when they have holidays, but I like it this way :-)

I think next week I'll have the time to keep update this blog, otherwise keep a look for the news after 24th.

Zurich, ich komme bald ;-)

La Mano di Ferro nel Guanto di Velluto

Last Sunday we had a Tai Ji workshop in our hotel here in Nemi.

It was directed by Anthony, holding the students with his usual mix of music and martial arts, even after several times it's always a new discovering, really awesome.


It was a very pleasant day, altough I didn't sleep at all due to a party that we had in the very same room, which ended around 5.00 am.

I'll spare you the description of how was the room after 300 drunk people danced for 6 hours, only thing was that we had to rush to clean the most we can until workshop started.


We had wonderful meals at the restaurant, people were really happy of the day so I think we'll having another one next year :-)
