Today’s picture is a bit scary… it is a photo from my trip to Dozza, you can find my blog entry here. The fortress once was a prison, and there are several scary rooms with instruments of torture. I don’t like particularly this kind of stuff, however from the historical point of view can be interesting. If you look carefully on the walls, you can even see some carved texts or numbers on them, made by the prisoners.
Beside that, remember that the region around is well-known for good wines and food, so don’t be too much impressed by the photo!

Last week was talking with a good friend of mine that is living abroad, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He made a very important decision some years ago, when he married a beautiful girl he met while traveling in South America. He often asks me to go visit him, and since I have a young son I’ve started to looking for courses to study abroad South America. Being a freelance journalist, I could visit my friend and at same time have my son learn a new useful language in one of the best Spanish school Buenos Aires .
Spanish indeed is becoming one of the most spread language of the planet, and when my son asked me “Why is it important to learn Spanish?” I did a quick research on the web and discovered that Spanish is spoken by almost 400 million people worldwide, which is reason enough to learn the language. But it’s even more compelling when you realize that about half of the population in the Western Hemisphere speaks Spanish, making it the primary language for as many people as English in this region of the world.
You never know what will be your future, but surely knowing an extra language is a great bonus, both for your curriculum and for pleasure: because of this, I want to do with my son what my parents didn’t do with me, teach him a new language while he’s still young, since recent studies shown that this is the best moment to learn a foreign language.

The pechinese is a very funny breed of dogs. Small but able to bark loudly, they will entertain your family. They’re usually not aggressive so are perfect for kids. I have one called “Nick, pictured in the photo above. The only real problem is when they sleep: they snore very loudly, almost more than a man! But is enough not let them enter your bedroom!
