O SOM DO BRASIL

HI GUYS, I’D LIKE TO SHARE SOME PORTUGUESE MUSIC WITH YOU TODAY. BORED OF LISTENING TO THE SAME POP-ROCK MUSIC EVERY SINGLE DAY? WHY NOT TRY CHANGING YOUR MUSICAL TASTES FOR A CHANGE. THIS IS AN INVITE TO A NEW MUSICAL JOURNEY, DESTINATION: B R A S I L.

VANESSA DA MATA HAS COMPOSED A DUET SONG FOR BEN HARPER HIMSELF. THE RESULT IS A UNIQUE & UNFORGETTABLE SONG, BE PREPARED TO SET YOUR COMPUTER TO “REPEAT SONG” FOR ABOUT A MONTH! NOTE: TRY THE REMIX AS WELL.

HERE ARE A FEW FAMOUS BRASILIAN SONGS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD BEFORE: “MEU CORACAO VAGABONDO”, GAL COSTA; “GAROTA DE IPANEMA”, TOM JOBIM; “MAIS QUE NADA”, SERGIO MERDES; “CORAZON PARTIDO”, IVETE SANGALO Y ALEJANDRO SANZ, “CUCURRUCUCU PALOMA”, CAETANO VELOSO …

LOL JOKES :D

heaven is:
French cook
British police
German mechanic
Italian lover
and the Swiss run everything

hell is:
British cook
German police
French mechanic
Swiss lover
and the Italians run everything

Two men walk into a bar, one wearing a cowboy hat and the other wearing a Yankees cap. The guy in the Yankees cap approaches the bartender and make a bet: “I’ll bet you $1,000 that I can put a shot glass at one end of your bar and piss into it from the other end of the bar without spilling a drop.”

The bartender laughs and says, “You’re crazy, but you’re on.”

The man positions a shot glass on one end, walks to the other end and unzips his fly. He then pisses everywhere — all over the walls, over the bar top, all over the bottles of booze, and all over the bartender. The bartender roars with laughter and tells the man to pay up.

The guy in the Yankees cap pays up, laughing and smiling, too.

“What are you smiling at?” asks the bartender. “You just lost $1,000!”

“Well, you see that guy in the cowboy hat over there crying? Before we came in, I bet him $10,000 that I could piss all over your bar, your walls, your liquor AND you, and not only would you not be mad — you would laugh hysterically about it!”

CITY PROFILE => PERUGIA

THREE YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO GO AND LIVE IN ITALY FOR A WHOLE YEAR, PERUGIA IS THE DREAM PLACE FOR FOREIGN STUDENTS WILLING TO LEARN ITALIAN. WHY? BECAUSE IT’S A LOVELY MEDIEVAL CITY WHICH HOST A UNIVERSITY FOR FOREIGNERS, SPECIALLY CREATED TO TEACH ITALIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE TO FOREIGN PEOPLE.

I FELT SO FORTUNATE WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PLACE AND EVEN MORE WHEN I GOT THERE. EVERYONE IS SO OPEN-MINDED, YOU MAKE FRIENDS FOR LIFE IN A SECOND.

“LE SCALETTE” ARE THE STAIRS LOCATED IN THE CITY CENTRE WHERE EVERYONE MEET AT NIGHT BEFORE GOING CLUBBING. EVERYBODY GATHER AND CHAT WITH STRANGERS IN A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE AND A DRINK OF COURSE.

GETTING TO KNOW ITALIAN FILM HISTORY WAS ONE OF MY HOBBY. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OF FILMS, OLD AND NEW.  I WATCHED A LOT OF ITALIAN COMEDY MOVIES LIKE “MARRIAGE ITALIAN STYLE”, “DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE” OR “I SOLITI IGNOTI”, JUST TO NAME A FEW. PLUS I HAD THE CHANCE TO ENJOY A LOT OF SPAGHETTI WESTERNS AS WELL AS CLASSICS LIKE “THE LEOPARD” OR “BICYCLE THIEFS”.

I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, I HAVE SPENT ONE OF THE GREATEST YEARS OF MY LIFE THERE AND I STILL LONGING TO MAKE A LIVING THERE ONE DAY.

WORLD FOOD => ITALY

DURING MY VARIOUS STAYS AROUND THE GLOBE I HAD TO ADAPT MYSELF TO THE LOCAL CUISINE, HERE ARE A FEW DISHES, DRINKS OR SNACKS I GOT ADDICTED TO.

ITALY

POCKET COFFEE IS ONE OF FERRERO’S – THE FAMOUS ITALIAN CONFECTIONERY MAKER – LATEST PRODUCTS; IT LOOKS LIKE A CHOCOLATE PRALINE FROM THE OUTSIDE….

BUT THE SURPRISE AS USUAL LIES ON THE INSIDE => IT IS FILLED WITH LIQUID EXPRESSO, HOW DELIGHTFUL !

RHUM & PEAR IS A GREAT COMBINATION OF TWO SHOTS. IF YOU FEEL INVINCIBLE TONIGH MAY I SUGGEST A METER, IT’S CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN AS THEY SAY. SO BOTTOMS UP GUYS.  1, 2, 3 GOOOOO!

THE CROSTATA IS AN ITALIAN JAM PIE, I REMEMBER MY OLD LANDLADY WOULD MAKE ONE APRICOT CROSTATA FOR ME ONCE IN A WHILE. GOOD OLD DAYS!

YOU THOUGH ITALIAN PEOPLE OFTEN EAT SPAGHETTI ALLA BOLOGNESE, WELL YOU WERE WRONG MY FRIEND! ACTUALLY THE TRADITIONAL DISH FROM BOLOGNA IS PREPARED WITH TAGLIATELLE, PASS IT ON!

WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOUR RISOTTO IS AL DENTE, SHAVE THE TRUFFLE OVER, ADD OIL, CHEESE, CHIVES, BUTER AND CREAM. ADD SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE. SERVE IMMEDIATELY.

Cinema, cinemaaAAA’ !
