The World is my Home!

Because I don't feel any nationality!
Because the life is too short to keep still!
Because I want have friends from everywhere!
Because travel and know new places and people is my first priority!
Because I'm born in Italy , studied in Belgium worked in China and States but it's not enough!
Because before to leave my life I want to see as much as possible!
Becuase Italy for me is too small!

Because someone before me said:
"Je veux être appelé Citoyen du Monde"

White Sanmen!

Wher's the Christmas?
I was so sad to dont' see any Christmas tree or Santa Claus but the wheather helped to me to get back my Christmas Spirit!




This morning I wake up and I found the roads, lawns and all the hills around completely white!!
I cannot believe Sanmen saw the snow before of the Italy

干杯! Cheers!

Concert , Disco, pub or festival doesn’t matter what it’s important is to drink!
Drink a lot and quickly is a priority inside these crowded places..
And believe me those place can be very crowded!!



So in less than one hour any place become more livable because many guys already drunk goes to home early..
I’m been at Banana Club, in Beijing, at the M2 and Paulaner at Shanghai, at the International Beer Festival in Qindgao or to the classic Irish in Hong Kong and the story is always the same.
So bring a lot of patience with you and you can enjoy all the nights, also in China!
And what about Chinese guys.. If you like feel as a movies star is perfect! Prepare of yourself to make a lot of pictures with them and touch glasses with everybody..
... for my opinion is really funny!

Beijing part I

Ok, Leaving from Sanmen at midday to get Capital airport at dinner time (Italian dinner time!! 2030) after 45min by van, 40min by train, 25 min by taxi again and finally 2.5 hours by plain with all the relative waiting times..
The Hotel was pretty nice but we changed the room to get one with Forbidden city view .. very Nice!



However it was so late and we were without dinner yet so we decided to walk around the hotel and try to find some opened restaurant, so we went to the Tiananmen square and unless the beautiful view of the most famous plaza we didn't find any food.. sigh.




Time was running.. so we came back to the hotel and walked toward the shopping area.. Unfortunately the only place opened was a Chinese restaurant with many tables on the streets that it didn’t look so clean and tasty.
Giulia and another group of western people persuaded me to get a dinner there.. I didn't know exactly what I ordered until I had my plates in front of me because the menu was in Chinese and the waiter was speaking only Chinese.



But in effect Giulia was right.. It's been the best Chinese restaurant that I tried and also now I didn't find a better one!!
Good food and the waiter was so amazing.. but also so friendly!! We came there again during the next days, specially to get picture with Oronzo (the waiter/owner).
You Know.. Every city has a place that looks very dirty but it's so nice.. Genoa has "da Maria", Rome has "La parolaccia" and Beijing has "Oronzo"!!

4 way Communication

“Yes, I want to maintain the original design!”
“NO, I think that keep the same design is better”
“Exactly, it’s was I was saying, I prefer to keep the original design for the connections and teh slab”
“Riccardo, for my opinion we should keep the same design”
“ Hey it's 15 minutes that we are saying the same sentence .. let's go ahead!"

Hany and the clock!

It was the June 3th. my first working day in Sanmen!
Meet bosses, meet colleagues, check office building and check the accommodation located at the Paul Palace hotel that was going to became my house for the next months.


First question: what kind of reasons for this hotel in Sanmen? I'm still waiting an answer now.. The hotel is beautiful and very big but it have a really bad kitchen!
Please, don't try western food unless the breakfast.




Second and third questions: What hell are you doing here In Sanmen? Why hell did you answer Yes?

No more questions..


Since I arrived finally in Sanmen with my story, I'm going to publish post without keeping an temporal order.
Anyway, the first day I meet also Hany, who will became my mentor for my first 30 chinese days up to his escape from Sanmen.




About the Clock??
I will have time to explain you better everything..
