Pictures of me

My dear upper-intermediates,

I'll finally decided to reveal what catches my ancient name.

I'm an inhabitant of the Sirius star and, as you have surely suspected, I'm very small compared with the biggest beings of the galaxies and very big compared with the smallest ones. It depends...

On my exile, I travel from planet to planet and, as I have one of the most brilliant intelligences that exists, I always know how make come to the light the infinite human ridiculousness and arrogance.

So, if you want to know more about me, you obviously should read Voltaire (only try to find the good translation!)

Bon voyage!

The Father Of The Bride

Imagine you have a young, innocent and beloved daughter and one day her boyfriend appears at home to have dinner with your family (you even didn't know your sweetheart had a boyfriend!)
Besides, it seems this young man hasn't the manners or the attitude you expected:

It's long, but it's worth (the end it's hilarious)

another cool video on YOUTUBE

Another cool video I saw recently is called 'lo que tu quieras oir' which is a bit sad but also quite ironic,,, I am open to other cool videos for professional couch potatoes and a couple of points:
-- watch out of loose radiation..
--watch out for somalian pirates..
--is it going to be Obama or Clinton?

Pachelbel Rant

Yesterday we were talking about youtube and a lot of interesting videos (and how youtube and internet changed the meetings with our friends)

This is a funny video about a guy and his obsession with Johann Pachelbel:

Hallstatt: one of the most beatiful towns in the world

I discovered this town last summer, travelling around Austria. It's located in the Alps, and it's like being in a fairy tale. It's the perfect place for living once you're retired: quiet, relaxing and beautiful. I fully recommend everybody to visit Hallstatt.

Tribute to Charles

This is Holmfirth, the place where Charles spent his summers watching birds. Holmfirth, a beautiful place in the middle of nowhere.
