Despite being 100% Italian, mastering Italian as a second language always seemed impossible. The Italian teaching style in my school was stricter, clearly having fun was conducive to learning: Tu es très bizarre. (French) You are very odd. as my French teacher would say. Thanks to Japanese friends, I was intrigued by Japanese characters, sounds and grammar. How different the words were and yet how the syllabic pronunciation of its syllabaries (hiragana & katakana) reminded me of my...

Nah, not really. How can you get bored? When you're connected to a powerful computer that can travel through time and space? Your brain, from one thought to another, gradually, like rain trickling, coalescing on a window or a pebble skipping along a surface, the ripples undulating across, meeting and smoothening.

Makes you wonder what would you write about, say even, when no one or everyone is listening? Dunno.. Tonight I was going to do some coding, ended up making tira...

Cooking! I love cooking from breakfast at 10 [PBJ] lunch at 10:30 [Ravioli] to second lunch at 16:00 [Paella] --> late dinner [Lasagna]! I've been meaning to write since I first heard about digital nomads; what to write about? That was definitely one of the many obstacles, I set myself.
