Happy CNY, Happy You & I

Last day of the wonderful long university break !! Happy Chinese people who surround the whole Island with their warm, excited hearts as they go to the temples to thank the Gods for fulfilling their prayers from the previous year and ready to dress in their traditional Chinese costumes, Round tables filled with all kinds of wonderful and interesting food like chicken feet popping out of the Chinese bowl. Everyone ready to start the new Tiger year 2010!

The festive season started on the 1st day as we visited a local friend's house and her other friends houses. Sitting happily on the sofa as they kindly served us with 101 plates of typical yummy cakes and unexpected red packets called ''Lai Shi'' which married people give the younger generations as they believe the more you give the more luck they receive! So we went home, that night, with not only a XXXL santa bag full of unforgettable experiences but also with a pocket filled with the weight of many red packets.. Lucky i had a belt, or else many Hong Kong girls would have got an unexpected Chinese new year surprise!! haha

Another very interesting thing that happens only on Chinese new year,besides the Grand Fireworks on the Harbour, is their fascinating Lion Dancing. Two guys get under a lion costume and start doing their lion king thing!! Jumping here and there and finally on their 2 feet, a scroll opens up from their hairy mouths saying GONG XI FA CAI!! which means: Congratulations and be prosperous! The Chinese phrase normally ends with: ''Hong Bao Na Lai'' which means Bring me the Red Packets.. haha Can't say Chinese people ain't smart!

The funniest thing was this morning.. as i woke up with the beep beep sounds of the sms on my phone. I see the words: Happy birthday!! I thought i was living some part of my dreamland movie and found out from my friend that the 7th day of Chinese New Year is the Birthday of Humanity! It's a wonderful to make everyone of us feel united as we get old together!!!

Happy birthday a tout le monde!!

The Hong Kong XXXperience

After many light years, i've returned to funkyadrys planet and ready to continue sharing you guys my wonderful experiences, thoughts, feeling and wild crazyness!

I wake up everyday and still can't believe i actually got the exchange to Hong Kong! I go to towards the windows of my mega galactic student hall's room and just start drooling with excitement waiting to get molested!!

Everything here happens fast.. i mean speedy gonzales fast!! People eating in 5 minutes the off to work, double decker buses that play formula 1 on the road and even the fishes in the amazing harbour swim so fast that the fishermen who spend hours under the caliente sun, don't even get a fillet o' fish! The fun thing about here is that cooking is optional as it's cheaper to eat out.. One food stall to another , we explore hong kong's varied cuisines!! not forgetting it's wild dim sum dishes that crowded the round chinese table. From sea weed, char siew delicasies to chewing gum jelly fishes and the free flow of chinese tea!! Drinking drinking and more drinking!! ( The healthy way) haha

The university experience is amazing! The joy of going into this super xxxxxxl university building and finding a bunch of funny, friendly hong kong classmates that are ready to open our eyes to a whole new experience! The difference between England and here is that everything has to be CUTE !! The girls are cute, the stuff they use are cute and even the ads they like are cute! It's a cute world!!

One thing that really impresses me about my adventure so far are the people and their strong faith! In this fews weeks, beside acting like good student doing productive work, we have been also exploring everything we can get our feet on and one of them are the temples. The feeling as you get into these big volcanic red chinese temples is unbelieveble.. Not only because your lungs gets high from all the incense being lited up as Chinese New Year is around the corner but to see all the chinese people going there to show their appreciation to the Gods for bringing their wishes to them. I was at Hong Kong's most important temple , Wong Tai Sin, and asked some people there about the chinese religious belief system and what i found out was that, every chinese goes to temples to ask for something and just before Chinese New Year of the next year, they have to return to say Thanks to the Gods. I then got curious about why they burn bulks of incenses and found out it was to feed the Gods as it burns and sometime people even burn paper made handphones, cars, houses, cash to feed their love ones up in the sky!

There's still so much to aborb in this spongy adventure!!

Check out the wild pics!

Stand up for free!

I was just doing my online check-in on the Ryanair website and highlighted in blue was the question : Would you travel for free or 50% off if you had to stand for short flights? and the answer will be YES!!! Imagine flying to a close by country or a deserted island with only palm trees and ''innocent'' monkeys for free or at a super cheap rate..? This would benefit not only Ryanair's 'Made in Irland' pocket but also let more people travel and experience new things plus see new things too! It 's interesting how ryanair uses wild creativity ! How bout Yoga lessons onboard? 5 pounds per position?

Travelling just gets more interesting!

Infiorata

Tradition plays an important role in the land of Pizza. Everything is passed from generation to generation. Beliefs, art workmanship and even how to make a yummy tomato sauce. I had an amazing time this weekend in Spello where flowers played the main character! The festival is called ''Infiorata'' and every year in this town, Teams of people get together: Young kids from under 14 to the older gang. Everyone competing to create an amazing piece of art on the ground that has to be colored by flower petals.2pm Saturday, Everything was supposed to start but since we're in the country where rules don't exist, the preparation for the flower petal art started at 4pm. Millions of curious people from all over, rushed into the small, quiet, medieval town to get amazed by the flower power effect!

How does it all start? The team prints the design on paper, sticks it on the road and piece by piece, the flower jigsaw gets completed ready for the judges at 8am on Sunday morning. Then after the Corpus Domini Mass, The Cardinal gets all excited to be the first to step on those wonderful masterpieces with the heart of Christ.

Flowers as paint? Let's see what flowers can do besides that...

Back to Perugia

Today, the sun was shinning and i just had to go to the center of perugia and feel the turistic season atmosphere! My new camera, Back in Perugia... Ok time to start with the photos!

Londonz oh Londonz

Sunday was amazing! Or should i say the Horny SUN + London's wildness = La bella Vita!! It was a day i discovered a creative inspirational place called Camden. The sun was blazing, Cold drinks stolen by hands dying of thirst. In other words, If you were a drinkman that day, then u are Rich now! Camden seemed like a mini amsterdam , people absorbing vitamin D on the 'grass', long canal boats floating here and there, louds sounds!! It was packed with so many interesting people from all over the world. Especially italians!! I heard them everywhere.. It was internazionale! After some wild fun and noticing how moneys evaporates in Camden, we decided to move to London center where everything just gets better!

Later on in Leicester Square, where normally i find myself at a premier of some movie, i watched some kids get wild with hiphop skills and some soccer fans getting Hot blooded for their team's lost in the match. Police cars, ambulance ran to the rescue and me filming the scene! A policeman then came up to me and said: What you filming? It's not a show and i replied: I am not from here.. haha

Looking forward for some other wild times!!

Wild day in Londonz

I woke up this morning, 10 am, ate some breakfast and went to meet my new creative partner for our new project, Kathleen. We have to learn all about being a doorman and change his negative sides of his job into the best job 2009 !

At 12.30pm, i found myself on the train to london.. It was a wild day to remember! Explored some of London's FUN ness! (Obviously popin' in it some undercover work about London door people) Saw a hairy van on the road, Met an italian princess in Hamleys who actually comes a small miniature town near to my grannys house in Milan...

At 6pm, Kat & I were at the Premier of the movie ''Night at the museum 2" Holy mama!!! People like Ben Stiller and other wild Uk acting people shared my same piece of land for a few minutes .. Plus next to me was Brigette, The sexy pink sock puppet from Quebec bodyguarded by 2 friends! What else could i ask for?
