Life Surreal

What if the sun filled with good people's hearts,
Love will spread all over the solar system.

What if the stars are the caring mothers,
Who look after every child chasing dreams through the night.

What if the oceans are the adorable children,
Who play tirelessly with the sandy beaches.

What if the wind are the wise teachers,
Who whisper knowledge through our ears.

What if the fountains are the beautiful wives,
Returned home husbands will chilled in smiles.

Amazing 2-weeks

It's been amazing these two consecutive weeks. Last week we were in Italy for IAC 2012 in Napoli and short 'amazing race' in Roma. The pictures are here, Italia MMXXII.

Now I'm sitting in a hotel room in Nagoya, Japan, in the heart of the business district just across the street from Nagoya Station.

Visiting two famous countries that rich with histories but different in many ways. Dirty and chaotic traffic of Napoli vs super clean and tidy Nagoya. Noisy Italian against quite Japanese. It feels so quite here in Nagoya, even if you're in the middle of people running around catching trains and buses. Contrast with Napoli, where everyone seems to yelling each other. They even stop their cars in the middle of the road for short chat with someone they know. I even saw a motorcycle rider had serious high speed conversation with his friend in the driver seat. That's INSANE. But somehow it feels so lively, their passion!

Here in Japan, everything seems well organized. The transport system, the traffic, and as the Japanese famous habit, they are always on time. Plus, they love make lines. But somehow, I feel some emptiness and strange quietness in the crowd.

We will back home in two days, and I think we learn a lot from these trips. It's been exhausting, drying our pocket, but in general we're having fun. It's been amazing.
