Dear Friends, This week , I didn’t know about what to comment on my blog and I remembered about a news that I watched on TV yesterday. It was about the visit of Mr. Bush to Vietnam. Their welcome was correct, because the Vietnamese are very pacific and hearty,

in spite of the fact that both countries “shared” and continue on nowadays sharing bad memories. There are a lot of Vietnamites that are suffering terrible malformations due to the Orange Gas which was thrown by USA during the Vietnam war to eliminate the Vietcom and , of course , what to say about the American’s veteran who are suffering , apart of malformations, amputates and in my opinnion the worse thing “ terrible nightmare “ .

This summer, I went to Vietnam. My trip started in the North ( communist side ) and I was going down till the South ( capitalist side ) of the country. I visited one of the museum they have addressed to the war, you could notice how bad can be the human because it’s not understood what things could cause so much hatred for doing such atrocity. The thing which more impressed me was a photo of a mountain of dead people . At the top of the mountain, there were three pregnant women and next to them there were two babies who their mam were embrace . I couldn’t avoir to cry till my visit end, and I’d like to add that It’s not easy for me to cry ; I considered myself a very strong person. But , I think it’s good to see these things , so that , people deliberate or think about this dark side that all of us have and which we must try to dominate to avoir that things were repeated again. I know it’s a quite difficult thing ( see Irak, Palestina..... ) , but I want to think that nowadays there are more people become aware than before, who thinks that with violence only we can get much violence and nothing else. Well , I’d like to write about the good of my trip because there were a lot of wonderful experiences . As I’ve commented before, my trip started in the North , exactly in Hanoi. Despite Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, there are much difference between it and Ho Chi Minh which is the business capital. In Hanoi you can’t practically find a home where there is water and more of them neither have light during the whole day , only six or seven hours per day. For that reason, it’s very normal to see people cleaning their hair outside their house in the middle of the street. The infrastructures are quite bad ( except the sides where the hotels or museum, or turistic places are ) . The street markets are quite precarious. However , in Ho Chi Minh ( Saigon ) you can find the best shops like Guchi, and Mango ( yes !!! there is a Mando shop in Saigon ) or fantastic hotels, etc. In Hanoi the most popular transport to go from one place to another one is the motorbike . The first day , when I arrived , I was a little frightened because there were in thousands and when you wanted to cross the street you had to pass between them . There are traffics lights but it’s a rule of them ( only in Hanoi ) that people cross the street without bearing in mind the traffic light . Of course their speed is not like the speed we have in Barna and always when they find in from of them a pedestrian, they reduce and wait till you cross the street. But the first impression you have is AHHHHHHHH!!! !!!!!. As my comment is quite long ... and I don’t want to get bored you , next week I’d follow with more things and photos ok ? Because I have wonderful photos of the Halong Bay: or the floating Market: and of course the Mecong River: and fantastic views of Danang, Hu or the jungle, etc: In my next presentation , I’m going to comment you about some funny anecdotes and also I’m going to explain about one of my past drag. It means that when I visit other places I always make good use of my trip and I try to achieve a thing which to cause me a drag like my panic to the crocodile .... Did you remenber about the comment I did of Costa Rica ?

I hope you've enjoyed with my comment,

See you in classe,

Hello,

I tried to translate a spanish joke....

A sparrow from Bilbao was flying very fast through a motorway. In that moment, a motorcyclist passed too close and to gave him a real bash with his crash helmet. The man went back and checked if the poor bird was ok or not . He realized that it was still alive and felt sorry about the poor animal. He picked the bird up and to put him inside a cage with some water and a little bread . The guy left home and went to the hospital because He had some wound . When the sparrow was awoken a little stunned and check he is behind bars with some water and a little bread he take his wings toward his head and screamed ...... !!!! CAGOENLAHOSTIA !!!!!, !!!! CAGOENLAHOSTIA !!!!!, !!!! CAGOENLAHOSTIA !!!!! I’VE KILLED THE MOTORCYCLIST !!!!!!!!

Dear friends,

Last day, I was watching on TV a documentary about how popular is nowadays the system for meeting people on line. They were talking about the millions and millions of options that internet offer to you , and apart from it, now you can also to work at home, to buy, to make the procedures with your bank, to travel ( virtually, of course ) , etc and you can "also" practice “virtually sex” without move your bottom from your chair and your face from your computer. I was listening and when it finished I thought : what kind of people we are creating ?. If we don’t go out neither go shopping , if we only make friend through internet by chat ( where is easy to tell lies because you can’t see their eyes ), if you don’t have the obligation of thinking what I should wear today to go working ( if you are at home to can wear a pyjama all the day ) o what I may cook today ? If you main worry is to connect your computer and to buy your lunch. What kind of “androids” the society is creating ? . If you check , especially at the cities, every day many people are walking along the street with the “ automatic pilot”. People practically are not mixed with other ones. How many people are living in the same place for years and they don’t know their neighbours? The internet phenomenon is great but … in fact we have won more than we have lost ? I don’t know, sometimes I’m frightened how fast is going on everything. I get the feeling that a lot of technology, rather than help us , it is causing that people go back and to become much solitaries. It’s a pity thing because they are a lot of people for who their computer is their best friend…. can you believe it ? My advice is , if you are these kind of people that are beginning to be up of your computer , go out and try to meet people . I know that sometimes it’s difficult but when you achieve it you will see that it quite different and nice than to talk them by internet because you will change impressions with someone who you can smile, to look , etc better than with someone of who you can’t say his or her eyes’ colours Or , of course I know that is more expensive to go around the world than with your computer but the feeling … per exemple :

can you feel the smell of these flowers ?









….




or could you explain the sensations of being in the middle of the desert....









In short, not put limits to your world, there are a lot of wonderful things outside your rooms to look and to feel.

Well, as I always said , this is my oppinion and I'd be happy to receiving your ones.

See you in class

Dear friends, When Middle of November is arriving, We start suffering a bombardment about the idea that Christmas is here and we have to be happy!!!!!! , to get of the members of our family together for have dinner or go shopping and to buy and buy sometimes a lot of not useful things, we have to be solidaries , at least during this period of time , despite later on we aren’t , etc. Well , certainly not! I don’t agree about it. Firstly, because there are a lot of people living in the street , some of them don't have their whole family members because some of them are far away or dead, or people with a lot of problems which don’t allow them to be thinking I’M HAPPY !!!!!, and in addition there are a lot of people that are solidaries every day during the year, so, they haven’t to wait till Christimas, to do it, ect. In short, if you like Christmas good for you, if you don't it welcome to the Club. But , we haven’t to allow “They demand us that at Christmas everybody has to be happy "because there are a lot of people that would like to be happy but someone doesn’t allow them to be HAPPY !!. As the seven woman ( their names are Parisa, Iran, Khayrieh, Shamameh, Kobra, Soghra and Fatemeh ) that are waiting in Iran to be stone till the death, because according to Iran's law They are adulteress. Ok, this is my oppinion , I’d be happy to receiving your comments about it. See you in class Aire

Dear schoolmate,

Last October 11th , a new member was added to our extensive family. It’s a pleasure to introduce you my new cousin:

She's Lucia.

In spite of the fact that in this photo you can’t see her very well, She is very pretty. She has dark hair and eyes, white skin and a snub and pretty nose.

She was born before time ( 3 weeks ) and We felt surprised because She was very bright , although She born with less weigh . She only weighed about 2 kilos more or less.

Now She’s 20 days and She’s very well because She has put on some weigh ( now is about 2,900 ) .

Well, As you can check , I’m very happy with this new member because although She ( actually) is my cousin I consider her my niece . It’s due to her mother is like my sister and not my cousin . Why ? There are two reason . First of all because since our childhood We have always had a very close relation and secondly because our mothers are sisters and our fathers are brothers. I know that It’s a strange thing that two sister were fallen in love with two brothers but ... sometimes the fortune makes theses things. So that, as I said you before , I feel as if a sister of mine had had a baby. See you on Tuesday, Aire
